There have been rumors of a new coaster coming here in 07'. I want to see what you guys think of this. Also it has been talked about being in the Jurassic Park part of the park.

Well there is something going into IOA in the near future, but its not the flyer that everyone is talking about. It will be unique, no doubt about that, but not a coaster.

Here are some hints about what it might be...

* This type of ride has been created before.
* It is manufactured by a coaster company.
* Many problems have occured with this type of ride.
* Themeing is VERY IMPORTANT for this type of ride to thrill guests.

Thats all I will say and I will leave the guessing up to you.

Edit: SheiKra

im assuming it will be like rhino rally then, you just described it (or was it manufactured by a coaster company)

i hope its a coaster though, not just a jeep thingy

Im not shure but maybe Premier. They made launched before, their a coaster company, and they have alot of problems with their shuttles. But im not shure if theming is really improtant to them.

Their is something going in though. Just dont know right now.

O ok i see. SheiKra do you work there because i have not seen that info anywhere?

I'd be willing to bet that none of the stuff that was posted is credible.

Wrong! It will be a walkthrough and it will take the place of the triceratops encouter the new walkthrough will have guests walking around the dinosaur paddocks seeing the dinosaurs. Raptors in the raptor pin will try to attack guests but wont be able to because of the fences...also you chose your own path Universal is working hard to get this attraction done because Jurassic Park 4 is set to be released in Summer 2006.

^Nice guess!

^^ And how do we know that you're right?

The only thing that has been seen that might even, possibly HINT at a new ride is height balloons (like at Alton Towers to check sight lines). Other than that, VERY few people know what is going on and I'm sure that they wouldn't be posting it on an enthusiast message board.

It isnt a guess read here:http://www.universal-excitement.com/...?t=307&start=0 I really dont think IOA would put a coaster in Jurassic Park it wouldnt look right! dont get your hopes up for a coaster.

Nothing's official yet. I'm a member of another site, IoACentral, and I started a whole thread that's pages and pages long on a Jurassic Park attraction (You'll find it at this site: http://www.ioacentral.com/forum/topi...87&whichpage=1) We've told eachother ideas for RollerCoaster/Darkride hybrids (Like "Revenge of the Mummy"), Theater shows ("Like Alien Encounter and Honey I Shrunk The Audience") and even simulators (Like "Star Tours.") However, we agree on one thing... A Roller Coaster does not belong in Jurassic Park.

The island itself is supposed to be the real Jurassic Park from the movies. That means a theme park were the dinosoars are the attractions. So far, everything in Jurassic Park operates as though it were a real dinosaur park. The attractions are tours, learning facilities, and encounters with dinosaurs, and just like the "real" Jurassic Park, roller coasters don't fit.

Jurassic Park in IoA is supposed to give the feeling of isolation. When little kids get scared of the rustling and growling in bushes, they can't look at the Cat in the Hat hat and remember that they're in a theme park and it's all fake. Jurassic Park's goal is to make you forget that you're next door to dragons and Popeye. The dense forests and trickling streams are perfect, but screams and the loud roar of a roller coaster breaking tree level simply dosn't work.

The only idea of a suitable roller coaster I can come up with is this: (Quoted from said site... I designed this

Maybe have the large Pteratactyl cage built into the side of the mountain like Jurassic Park III and have the que go through those creaky cage bridges like in the movie with occasional screaches overhead. Plus the whole cage would be filled with a dense fog, so you couldn't tell how high you were (just like in jp3) Then make the roller coaster themed to a Pterydactyl grabbing guest and bursting out of the cage...

Thast when the roller caoster rockets out of a hole in the cage. Or mayeb even keep it it the half dome cage! (for those of you smart enough to not see JP3, I say half cage becuse it's built into the side of a cliff.) Keep it insdie the cage so that it doesnt distract from the appearence of a dense jungle with dinosaur habitats. LMAO! You could even keep the name "Pteranadon Flyers!" Or you could make it somethin cool...

I GOT IT! "Project: Evilution" (Yes it's named after the HHN IOF house)

Throughout the queue (where claw marks, etc. are sccratched into the hanging cage lines... PS, if yo havent seen JP3, none of this makes sense, but let me describe it: they walk through suspended cages, all of which were originally ment for guest going through the Pteradactyl Aviary. but its fallen into disrepair and the thick fog inside keeps guest from knowing how high up they are and the creaking of the chains suspending the queues keep them anxious.)

A story is told of how the Pteradactyl's, over time, gained an uncanny intelligence, and the ability to communicate with one another and set traps. So much, that the Jurassic Park Rangers simply stayed away from the aviary (about 100 feet high) ... after all, as long as the Pteradctyls where in the large dome, they couldn't hurt anyone, right? Now, you've been chosen along with a group of "newbies" to go in and make any nessecary repairs to the dome. Anything nessecary to keep the vicious birds in!

But as the constant squaking and cawing of the birds shows, you may be in for more than you bargained for.

Leaving the covered cages, guest board suspended coasters and take off! The train rockets out of the station through the mist of the cage (Which still filters in 100% sunlight... It's not like you're in the dark) and past animatronic pterydons barely visible. (One of the elements would be a 90 degree drop with a nest of squaking, biting babies below. You pull out just in time -Eww... You sickos!- You can even have the train take sudden swoop out of the cage and back in. ALl people will see it a bird-like somethign (The train) shooting out, trailing the mist, and then heading back in. Well, whudda yo think? let me know!

That putting another suspended coaster with the same theme as an existing one won't happen, unlees they're dueling

The first part of your idea is a good idea on it's ow thoug. /having those cages t walk thruogh. It'd be acary though, becase every once in a while, the cage could begin to shake, or a dinosaur could come straight at guests and then near miss. That would be the first part of the ride, with fog, noises and all, and it'd be up a steady incline too, which ends at a mountain top. So once you've gotten through the cage walkwy, which would probably be like TOT (a few people at a time, with a tour guide) then from the top of the mountain, there could be some sort of ride to get down, like a speedy mine cart ride going through a dinosaur cave, ending back at the bottom. But from the outside, all it is is a mountain with a large path leading up to it. Inside could be a small coaster. Maybe a frequent faller that starts at the top and ends at the bottom.

sounds great, but they already have a coaster that launches out of a tunnel, so i dont know if theyd do it (a launching flying coaster though, that would be great)

i could see it being flying too, not just a normal sitdown, but the line sounds very much like IOA standards

Last year when I would get bored in Drivers Ed I would sketch my ideas for an amazing Jeep tour themed ride for the JP section. The only problem I found with it, was that it would take up many acres of land, and the JP section of IOA is really close to busy streets if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, it would also have been EXTREMELY expensive, but none the less, the most exciting and intense ride experience ever created.

Basically, the ride would be a 15 minute condensed version of the first movie. Visitors would queue inside the visitor's center, boarding from the patio in the back (by the lake). The ride vehicles would proceed to through some foliage, passing through other sections of JP and finally through the signature JP gates. From there, the cars would pass various dinasaur paddocks, and while the recorded voice explains the dinasaurs, they don't appear, as in the movie.

Eventually, you come accross an open clearing, and the cars stop, you notice the sick Triceratops, and an actor greets you to step outside of the ride vehicle (This vehicle returns to the loading station by way of underground track). You take a good look at the dinosaur, but the weather starts to get rough (clever special effects) and the "animal caretaker" leads you to another "gas powered" ride vehicle (this one is actually connected through the ground to an underground track through a space). Leaving the clearing, the weather gets increasingly more rainy and dark (to accomplish this, you enter dense forest which leads into a soundstage, but you do not realize it).

Driving along further, the Jeep stops as you approach the T-Rex Paddock. Little cups simulate the concentric rings of the water as T-Rex bursts through the wires, attacks the vehicles, and forces them to the edge of the concrete moat. The cars teeter, and then are guided over the edge of the wall, falling sideways down the concrete for 4 stories. At the bottoms the cars flip upright and drive up through a drainage pipe connecting eventually with a path.

After driving for a few seconds, thumps can be heard, and you realize T-rex is charging the jeep. The jeeps takes off very fast, banking through paths and rain, until finally far away from T-rex. You are again outside again, it is sunny, and you drive onto a bridge.

The bridge goes out (similarly to Rhino Rally), and you float a few seconds down the river, only to realize you are about to float into the Pteronadon aviary (which is inside a soundstage). Upon entering, you get a glimpse of the enormous erie dome, and the "bridge raft" runs ashore, allowing the jeep to drive up onto the dirt path.

Immediately, the car jolts, and you realize you are being attacked by Pteronadons (The cars are specially fitted to allow a suspended carriage to lock onto the top of the car). The car lifts off of the ground, starts slowely pitching and spinning to avoid collision with other structures, and you are flown to the top of the aviary, finally bursting through the side. (The inside of the aviary utilizes Spiderman technology to simulate different heights, speeds, and effects.) Your car coasts underneath a track at tree top level, and eventually glides around the cone roof of the Visitors center, before landing. The vehicle stops, lets passengers unboard, and then makes a trip back to the Triceratops scene.

This was just my dream, I think the idea would have so much potential! I made a diagram a while ago, but I don't know how to upload pictures. What do you guys think?

I LOVE IT! That's brilliant! SO many different ride systems and so many different scenes in one ride! However, if I may suggest something, I'd like to see something with herbivores during the tour, like a pass through a savanna with parasaurolophus and stegosaurs.

O, I forgot to add that part! lol, Right after you enter the JP gates, you drive through an open field, and you see in the distance the big pond with the giant dinasaurs like in the beginning of the movie, lol, thanks for reminding me!

well, as unrealistic as the second two ideas sound, they're pretty damn cool. The walkthrough idea does seem feasable though. But none of us can really say what IoA will put in next, only time will tell.


unless of course you're a higher up at Universal and really want to risk your job for a bunch of people who are curious.

NOW I REALLY LOVE IT! Good job!

A Wicked Twisters like ride or a Screamin Squirrel would fit nicely threre

An impulse themed to what?

A screaming squirrel might be a little easier to theme with the JP theme, but not by much.

I don't know how an impulse would fit. What kind of themeing explaination could you possibly have for a twister roller coaster shooting above the trees?

Well then it could be a Rhino Rally thing, RR is made by Vekoma, and it still has MASSIVE amounts of downtime. The river sequence breaks like 5 times every day and then they would have to drain it and fix it. And the capacity is terrible, like less then 1000, PPH, and it is one of the most popular rides at BGT. If Universal adds a Rhino Rally type thing, that would be too similar to River Adventure if you ask me.

I saw your sig in another topic and I just wanted to bring this topic back and say.

They are getting 2! rides? thats even better I hope a coaster and a flat. Can you confirm a coaster and flat Montu Man?

i'd bet it's a multi dimensional.

I see a new type but what years will they come?

Rhino Rally does have horrific wait times and down times. Almost always the longest line at the park everytime I go, and it can be downright boring if you get a dull driver.

prolly 06 or 07 because ioa hasn't gotten anything for years already.

I think 07 is when jp4 comes out.

When a big park gets a new ride why do parks always presume it could be a 4D. 4D's get lots of downtime and theres only one in the world right now, nobody wants to spend milliions on what's still a prototype in a sense.
