Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

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?

Typically 7 days before you start mounting empty columns or light stuff, 28 days before you can put any real load on them.

That can be accelerated if needed, or delayed if test breaks are low.

Quick notes on what I see:
Raptor Encounter has a defined entrance now
Most of the footers are done
Frame work going on above the launch and at the first scene building
HP lockers coming along

If you open the image on twitter in a separate tab you get a much bigger version to look for things

Is that the fountain or whatever was supposed to go in front of the DC starting to be built?

Here's the last aerial from about 7 weeks ago.

Think so. Looks like the spoy according to the plans. Something else that caught my eye was the supports on the first turn of the ride and also it looks like they really filled in dirt over the last few weeks

First of the actual layout supports are up as well:

Cool to see the Raptor Encounter’s new entrance. will people be able to see the encounter/raptor scaring photo-takers from the JPRA queue? it could make the line so much more fun

The giant wall in front of the Discovery Center is frightening me.

i think that’s rumored to be the coaster display piece/fountain

@Alicia maybe you can help me with this. Looking at the pics I cant seem to find the footers that wrap around the shed area to return to the exit. Have they poured those yet?

The maintenance building? There’s a ton of footings wrapping around it on both sides?

Right. I had apparently wiped that aspect of the project from my mind!

I just hope it looks nice!

The back end of it facing PF. They are on both sides but not around the back of it. In the photo its that dark dirt section with that green piece of pipe on the ground.

Yea doesn’t look like they’re installed there yet. They’re digging it looks like.

In the large pic alicia posted above, it looks to me that they are putting in a transfer track and wouldn't need to put footers out the opposite end of the building. That end of the building looks like it's an end cap.

That makes sense, thanks.

Look at the bottom of the pic. I like how they are allowed to work outside the construction walls right now while guests aren't allowed in
