Even with delays and closures this year, Disney is still eager to debut the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser resort hotel experience in 2021. This two-night immersive stay will be unlike any hotel before. With proximity to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the promise of an immense assortment of characters, and the immersion made possible by Walt Disney Imagineers, this hotel will truly be out of this world.
It has been over two months since we have gotten a good look at the construction progress on Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Japan. In that time they’ve added numerous new in-park effects that amplify the already fun and energetic land. New footage, taken by 爆釣会会長ばくちょうかいかいちょう on Youtube, gives us an idea of the incredible attention to detail we can expect in the park.
Roller coasters provide immense joy and wonderful thrills in our lives. Rides like Kingda Ka push the boundaries of design and physics with towering structures and intense speeds. It’s quite difficult to imagine the first roller coaster opened less than 150 years ago and traveled only six miles per hour. Nowadays, the world’s fastest roller coaster, Formula Rossa, reaches top speeds of 149 miles per hour. But what’s the process behind the design and construction of these thrill machines?
A post from Twitter user @HuckelCommaSean may have just revealed the ride vehicle design for the rumored Velocicoaster construction happening at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Recently, this roller coaster project added raptor figures to the construction site. Now, it appears we may have our first look at the coaster vehicle itself.
The newest addition to the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort has reached a construction milestone, as well as changed its name!
Recently, the rumored Velocicoaster construction had a large milestone with the introduction of raptors. While they are covered, it is easy to see these ravenous beasts in their new home. These photos, by Bioreconstruct on Twitter, let us get our first view at the raptors in their upcoming enclosure.
Even though it hasn’t been announced yet, there is no missing the work on the “Velocicoaster” in the Jurassic Park area of Universal’s Islands of Adventure. The new faux rocks are sharp and aggressive, which matches the already “boulder” look of the coaster. While this work won’t make the coaster go upside-down faster or take turns at a sharper angle, I warn you, don’t take this hard work for “granite.” These photos, by Bioreconstruct on Twitter, give a close up view on these new stones you just can’t skip.
Construction work was halted for many weeks at Disney California Adventure due to the ongoing pandemic. This resulted in a delay for the grand opening of the Marvel Adventures Campus at Disney California Adventure. But, work has resumed. And today, we get our first look at the installation of the Quinjet in the land.
Walt Disney World is never finished, with new projects beginning each year. Even though the closures have affected the opening schedule of some endeavors, construction continues strong. These photos, provided by Bioreconstruct on Twitter, give us a look at what to expect in the years to come.
Construction was brought to a standstill for weeks at Walt Disney World admist lockdown orders in Florida due to the ongoing pandemic. Over the course of those weeks, we noticed that construction equipment wasn’t even being moved at Epcot. But now, work has begun again on the biggest renovation in Epcot’s history. These photos, provided by Bioreconstruct on Twitter, give us a look at the new progress.
