While the theme park world has been rattled with sudden closures, Universal Parks and Resorts are continuing to look towards the future.

Today we look at the work on the rumored high-speed “Velocicoaster” coming to the Jurassic Park area of Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

In Japan, however, this hasn’t seemed to stop the Super Nintendo World construction process at Universal Studios.
Universal Studios Japan continues its construction on Super Nintendo World with plans to open around the 2020 Summer Olympics. Recent aerial and in-park photography, provided by @LCAStudios_USJ, @Yuta_USJ, and @chizuoo on Twitter, has given us great insight into this upcoming land.
