I‘m not saying it will be open by then. Just comparing timelines.

I think the construction permit ended in April of 2021 anyways, it lines up. My thought has always been try to get it for Spring Break in March (obviously may look different now but hypothetical), and have media blitz then and whenever JW3 comes out. I’ve always figured that gotta be more of the internal timeline but idk maybe construction ends in April but more scenery work is done/testing so this is maybe Memorial Day.

I wonder if the new raptor encounter area will be opening with the ride or will be used sooner

I think it may have been intended to open sooner than the coaster, so they can reclaim the seating area they lost for the temporary encounter on the other side of Pizza Predattoria.

Awesome! I wonder if it’ll be the same beige ish paddock as before, or will be changed to the colors of the film to match with the possible coloring of the Coaster paddock. Maybe they’ll both be beige ish!

I'm glad Comcast continues construction if only for the construction workers income. And as a benefit to the customer experience.

Universal have the experience to know that continuing to build will pay off in the future.

I'm excited about Universal's future yet I worry about Disney's. I'm assuming at some point I am going to have to delay my trip to Orlando as June probably isn't going to happen. If I push it off to next year, I'm thrilled at the idea that I will have the JP coaster to look forward to and while Disney should have had all these new additions added, they might not be ready.

It's like everytime Universal tries to build a park there is some large world event haha

I'm still laying the blame on the elevation of Chapek.

Looks to me like they took most of the work walls down to make construction easier. Also, this is a pretty good view of the coaster's maintenance building framing going up.

Seems like one of the barge cranes has gone missing, must be wrapping up the water work.

A lot more concrete walls have popped up near that tower and also the main coaster section has a ton of new footers now

I was waiting for them to capitalize on the park being shut down and take down some walls to make it easier. I think I noticed in Bio’s most recent pics as well.

Lucky that most of us have extra free time on our hands at the moment

I assume this means footers for the second half are complete now:

Project milestone! Huzzah!

That was my thought as well, six weeks since those were taken, lot of work can get done in that time and what is the cure time? 30 days?
