Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

The plot definitely isn't big enough for a restaurant, but it can definitely be reworked into a more inviting location than what it looks like now. I think either Burger Digs or Thunder Falls should be transformed into a sit down, Thunder Falls could definitely also be given an outdoor lounge bar.

Figured it couldn't fit a restaurant but wasn't as sure of the surrounding area. I agree, 1 more sit-down option in IOA w Mythos and Confisco's really helps (not that it needed it) set IOA apart from USF specifically in terms of dining. I can dream though.

I wonder what they did with the tree and if it will make a return?

What's the probability of Universal announcing this today?

Friday afternoon?That is when you bury news not announce next year's big attraction.

 

[Scott W.]

I guess Universal will just stick to their Dino emojis on Dino Day.

I think what’ll be interesting is how much noise this is going to add to JP. The island could be remarkably peaceful, even with the “pop and splash” of JPRA. This is going to add roars and screaming.

One of my biggest concerns.

But I know I'm the minority here who really enjoyed the ambiance of the original land.

Didn't they give the restaurant in Hollywood's JP a big facelift?

Essentially, they got a menu revamp and new color scheme.

This gives a very good look at the Raptor Encounter, launch 1 track, a metal structure going up in the spagetti bowl, the size and direction of the top hat as well as the "cap" on top of the tower

It's still hard to believe we're getting Maverick 2.0 at a Universal park.

The track is in for the first launch. Yea!

Is this a dual loading station?

 

[WillQ92]

Is this a dual loading station?

I don't think there's enough room. That said, me two years ago would've never believed there was enough room to fit what they have there now and there's only like 2% of the track erected.

 

[Alicia]

Is this a dual loading station?

I don’t believe so...?

Also, more:

I see we're now at the real fun part of the construction, as the skyline is changing real quick now. It's crazy to think how much different it'll be once the park reopens.

Also, the new raptor encounter pen is looking real nice so far!

*An my 1,000th post, too!
