Jurassic World: The Ride Construction Thread

[mitsuramos]

I'm sorry, but they need to update that Jaws animatronic...it's so basic... :/ the whole Studio Tours needs a better upgrade, I don't know how people are so obsessed with it, every time I see it in a video or go to it in person, there's always a couple of things that disappoints me with it.

Is this something that people can expect pictures of?

I just got a picture from a friend of mine who's there right now that the JP gate is coming down

Probably only so they can put the new one up

Care to share it? Though, it is to be expected since the Jurassic World gate in the film does look quite different.

At the same time, that does make me wonder why did they take down the Jurassic Park lettering if they were gonna remove the entire old arch anyway.

Probably to save them to repurpose in some way

Huh, though I do feel like it could also be a remodel. We'll see in due time.

They probably removed the letters so tourists wouldn’t get confused or wonder why JP is closed. They did the same for BTTF before they removed the sign.

Flipped it, as it was angled..weirdly.



Interesting to see it exposed, I am going to guess that they're going to keep the steel structure, and redo the exterior shell.

The second most iconic arches next to the golden.

Anyone else feel, that with so much left to done, that it won't re-open until late Summer/early Fall?

No highly doubut it, not with the opening of starwars galaxys edge. Or they could be waiting for the disney crowd to die down but that would be stupid not to open earlier than starwars. Theres not alot to be done, concrete hasnt been poured cuz of rain but the areas by the bathrooms look finished

they already have people working and training to operate the ride. They expect it to still open this mid-summer. Test and adjust probably is going to start happening within the next few months.

I would think, with the boats on the track; and the lagoon filled, wouldn't they be doing overnight testing at this point?

I'm guessing Early to Mid June, near the time of HMCMA's opening to be honest. At most, perhaps Late June/Early July.

I can only guess that the ride has started test and adjust then. I know by this point in FJ's opening time frame we were already learning the SOP and "team leader" positions. but obviously it was all book work, nothing in the control room was built yet haha

Fair enough.

Truth be told, I had heard once of them having issues when it comes to TM's, but that shouldn't be something that delays the attraction's opening. I am going to give a fair guess, to that they are already getting staff who originally transitioned from the original Jurassic, back in.

Yeah most of Jurassic park TM'S went to FJ as well. but they are all scattered and have to RE-APPLY to work Jurassic world which is sucky for them

Interesting thing in this update is some holes cut out near the top of the show building at the 2:25 mark. Wonder what's going on there.
