Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Scott W.]

Someone get @Scott W. to photoshop it in famous ports.

I fear this is going way over my head. Photoshop is always loaded up and ready to go.

Honestly looking at the layout, I'm quite worried the coaster won't have too much theming, instead just being a coaster with vague references to the IP like Hulk. Which it kinda hurts seeing Potter get "The most detailed and themed coaster at Universal" while JP's doesn't get anywhere near the amount of love or attention.

:thud:

Hulk will still be the better "coaster", but Hagrid will be a much better fit for the park, and a better ride as a whole.

Hagrid won't give me a brain bleed, so it's automatically better.

It’ll be nice going on a coaster at IOA and not feel slightly concussed afterwards for sure. Had similar issue with DC sometimes.

I never had the issue with DC, but man oh man is Hulk bad. They really should have redesigned the entire coaster when they demolished it.

I go on hulk every 3 months multiple times, rockin roller coaster tore me up last week when riding for the 1st time in years. I honestly have never had a headache on hulk but a looot of people say it so idk:shrug:

Hulk is just a regular intense B&M.

My daughter and I rode Hulk like 5 times in a row last summer. I am a 40 year old male @ 6'3" and 260 lbs... to me Hulk is a super comfortable ride and feels silky smooth.

The only way I can explain it is if different trains have different smoothness. The last 2 times I was on it it kicked the crap out of me.

Also if you sit on the ends vs the inside.

Hulk is a good ride, but aside from the awesome queue the only theming is that it's painted green. Universal can do better with their coasters and I'm really hoping JP gets a little something more than that.

Also I'm a little worried that all the foliage being removed and all the new noise might cut into the immersion of the area. But I'm always an anxious pessimist.

 

[Viator]

I would say, with how they are handling Potter; that they will take care of that issue more and more when it comes to foilage as things come together.

It will get a lot more theming than Hulk. It'll be fine.

I swear they put new bodies on an old chassis for the B&M to be that rough. No new B&M I have ever been on had been that bad. (Hell, even Kumba is smoother and is ages older...)

It’s the wheels.

 

[Tyc00n96]

Do you think they will close the DC temporarily and if they do, what kind of changes can we expect?

Seriously, what is up with the coaster? My first time riding after the redo was awful, he felt far worse than before. Riding it last year and it was fine.

Are they running two trains, one Hulk and one Bruce Banner and not telling people?

This doesn't excuse the new roughness but I think that Hulk probably had the most run throughs of any B&M coaster in the world before it got demolished.

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

Hulk's roughness (on the outer seats, which is where I always get put) is why this upcoming coaster is desperately needed!

Intamins are way quieter than B&Ms...Depending on what kind of launch they use, all you will hear are screams

I also think rock work and new landscaping is in our future

Really hoping for AA raptors tbh
