Theme park and attraction news, rumors and videos.
Hot on the heels of the announcement that the highly-anticipated next installment of the blockbuster Jurassic Park film franchise, “Jurassic World: Dominion,” will debut on June 10, 2022, comes the news that a Jurassic Park-style dinosaur theme park will open in Malaga, Spain in 2021.
After last week’s seemingly unintentional reveal, Universal Orlando Resort has officially announced the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, opening in summer 2021 at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
Per an update on Universal Orlando’s official website, it has finally been confirmed that the roller coaster being built in the Jurassic Park section of Universal’s Islands of Adventure, titled “Jurassic World VelociCoaster,” is not only coming to the park, but now has an opening season.
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.
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.
Have you ever wanted to have an entire movie theater all to yourself? You’re in luck because, for a limited time, you can host your own private movie watch party for up to 20 guests at a participating Cinemark theatre near you.
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.
As the entertainment industry slowly begins to reopen, one of the destinations we’re seeing return are movie theaters. Although movie fans are excited to get back in a theater for the communal movie-going experience (and the snacks), there is a problem since movie studios have delayed the openings of new movies.
The construction on the rumored “Velocicoaster” roller coaster is moving along fast. Just a few weeks ago, we were checking out other milestones, and now the highest point of the coaster is complete. Universal Orlando has marked this momentous occasion with a Jurassic logo flag.
The summer of 1993 was a big year for me. It was the year that Steven Spielberg released his masterpiece, “Jurassic Park.” I’ve always had a fairly obsessive personality, but “Jurassic Park” brought it to a new level for me.
