Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

If it's like Taron it's going to be relentless

And that's not even considering that Taron didn't have inversions.

This thing, is going to be absolutely mental.

 

[Nick]

By the time the park opens the track is practically gonna be fully up

I'm just anxious to finally see what it's going to look like from Port of Entry.

While that will be interesting, i've sort of stopped caring on that front. This coaster looks to be so fun that i'm not gonna be in Port staring over at it, i'm gonna be racing towards it through the park.

While we were distracted by the glory that is the coaster site, Universal is landscaping Raptor Encounter. From the newest video we can see quite a lot of trees have been added in there.

Well, I won't be riding it, so all I have is what it looks like.

Man i didnt even catch it cause it blends in with the rest of the foliage. All thats left is some minor details and concrete pouring for the extended queue and the RE is finished.

If it is, it’s going to be fairly unique to the area. Even with a lot of coasters in Orlando, there’s nothing quite like that.

It’s going to be a welcome addition and really going to give Universal extra credit in that market.

 

[Magic-Man]

Alright, place your bets. Is the first element after the first launch going to be an inversion or just a really intense turnaround? I'm betting on inversion.

I'm in camp extreme turnaround. But if it's an inversion, I hope it's something wacky like the first inversion on Taiga.

Connect the dots.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Wow. I think thats the only supports for the top hat.

 

[ParkRumors]

Wow. The change of direction shown in this part of Bio's image is insane:

Definitely can see why they needed that extra beefy track.

 

[WillQ92]

Wow. I think thats the only supports for the top hat.

As far as I can tell, they've been strategically burying some of the footers while working around them. I first noticed they did it with the footers for the turn around the maintenance building, and I suspect they've done the same here.

 

[Scott W.]

Wow. I think thats the only supports for the top hat.

I'm getting that impression. Doesn't look overly high but with the double spine track, it may be able to go higher without a support needed for the peak.

 

[belloq87]

Connect the dots.

With track apparently crossing directly over guest areas several times, are we anticipating they're going to need to put up netting in that area, as well?

That's one of the inversions.

 

[ParkRumors]

That's one of the inversions.

Ah, guess there's a footer not yet installed then? Was hoping it'd be more like the turns on I305. Oh well, inversions are fun too.

 

[WillQ92]

Yeah the footers for the second half of the tophat are definitely buried. This was from the March update.

If it's a barrel roll, you probably don't need one.
