Universal IoA | Jurassic World VelociCoaster | Intamin Blitz | 2021

[Hixee]

Actually I think it's more likely he was asked not to put it up by Universal and in his role it pays to keep the big companies on side. It wouldn't be the first time it's happened either.

Lol, what exactly are they trying to hide now?

 

[Magic-Man]

Please tell me I didn't just see my gorgeous Cheetah Hunt being insulted. Y'all need to ride it again and change those trash opinions

Are we finally going to see the washing machine element from the smiler? They've nailed that roll over water, maybe they can nail that too.

It would pretty easy to fit in, you get grabbed by a raptor and rolled over a few times before getting spat out into the layout!

It's also going to have the 'choose your own seating style' that the original SW7 was meant to have.

I predict universal is waiting for IAAPA for the big reveal. It wouldn't surprise me if RCDB updates after that.

*If* there's an IAAPA this year.

Also, latest video update from CF's Florida mobile operations.

IAAPA has announced that the Expo in November will go ahead as planned and I've already registered, so definitely hoping for a good one in spite of the pandemic.

I did ride it again in January and it's still ?!

 

[Mit deLuxe]

I hope to god that they put the barrel roll through the mouth of a Mosasaurus!

It would look absolutely amazing from across the lake!

Then your opinion is still ?

Man, imma get trashed for this, but I'd rather ride Cheetah Hunt and Tigris over Kumba and Montu any day of the week.

I have heard 4 cars to a train but can not confirm. It will be lap bars but they come from over the top so hopefully not thigh crushing.

I hope the top hat is both 160+ and not trimmed. I want all the speed.

That said: do we know how long the trains will be? I’ve been assuming 5 cars but maybe they have the 3 car shorties, thus allowing for extra forces through the elements

 

[Ethan]

I imagine it'll have the same style trains as Taron and it'll be the best coaster in Orlando because of it

 

[Lofty]

It is going to have the same trains as Taron.

 

[bernatc22]

and it's going to be the best coaster in Orlando because of it.

 

[toofpikk]

is there an echo in here?

As predicted, the other top hat tower is going in:-

Dive loop is going in! Plus a bit more on the 2nd top hat tower. Expecting a lot to get done today

The dive loop looks like it will be completed soon!! + new connector on tophat support gives an idea of the angle of track there.

Anybody else thinking that the rock work and other scenery is going to take longer than the track itself?

Yes, hence why the ride won't be opening till next year

 

[Matt N]

As this is Universal, I’d say that’s quite a real possibility! It’s certainly been the case with their last few major coaster projects, although then again, they probably haven’t built an outdoor coaster of this style since HRRR in 2009.
