New Jurassic Park Themed Attractions For IOA?

[TheCoasterCruiser]

As the announcement of the fourth film was made, rumors of possible new JP themed rides also appeared.

Among other ideas are here some drawings of a Jeep ride.

Those images are just a Creative Concept to boost the guy's portfolio and show a concept that he's worked on. There's no proof behind them that they're ever going to be used for anything, so that should be noted now to stop people thinking it's actually going to be built there, which WILL happen in this thread, Ha.

^ I said it was rumors.

 

[Lofty]

Yes, but saying it's a rumour and saying it's concept art created by an individual who is trying to boost their portfolio and make it more appealing for new clients is two completely different things, that's why I made the post above.

 

[TheCoasterCruiser]

^ You're right. But was the "Ha" necessary?

 

[Lofty]

The "Ha" was lightening the harshness of the last sentence, not to your original post, if you've read into it wrong, that's not my fault.

I can't wait until this opens. Ha.

 

[TheCoasterCruiser]

Okay.

 

[Ethan]

Ha, misunderstanding. Ha.

On a serious note, those are good drawings

^ I said it was rumors.

Yeah, to be fair though, this is the same as somebody posting the concept art Joey did for a rollercoaster attraction at Chessington and claiming them as rumours. They're not, just some art work somebody has done that has used a Jurassic Park concept, nothing more.

^ Thought I said it was a mistake?

So, Orlando United are reporting that sources are talking about new additions a lot. Sounds like something could be happening once construction has finished on Transformers.

Overall the entire Island would be receiving a face-lift. While the main focus is adding two new attractions, there are several other projects being considered within this expansion.

Here is a list of the details I’ve been given:

Amber Mine Rollercoaster – This small-scale family coaster is said to be a themed run-away mine cart ride through detailed Amber Mines. The targeted height minimum is between 36 and 40 inches; so it will be a ride that most families can enjoy together. And while GCI Coasters met with Universal Creative earlier last year, we are told now that the Gravity Group has been contacted to build this attraction.
Discovery Center Dark Ride – This slow moving dark ride would load inside the Jurassic Park Discovery Center where the labs currently reside. Rumored scenes include the DNA Scene from Jurassic Park the movie, detailed lab scenes, a dinosaur egg hatching, as well as a tour through dinosaurs that are in containment (including Velociraptor AA’s). The ride itself would unload close to the new Amber Mine Coaster.
Camp Jurassic – This popular kids playground would be expanded and given numerous upgrades, including special effects and “live dinosaurs” within the grounds.
Jurassic Park River Adventure – The headline attraction of Jurassic Park would receive a major refurb including new effects and AA replacements.
Numerous new food and beverage outlets – There is no new sit down restaurant planned in this expansion. All new unique offerings will come via themed food stands.
Triceratops Encounter – This old beauty will be leveled to make room for the future additions mentioned above. While most of the work will indeed take place on this site, make no mistake the island will be getting a lot of attention before re-opening.
Well there you have it folks! This is the rumored expansion that is currently scheduled to open in Summer 2014. On top of that, Universal just announced that Jurassic Park 4 would also hit theaters in Summer 2014.

I'm taking it with a pinch of salt but it sounds like they could be building a wooden coaster version of the Seven Dwarfs cred being built at the Magic Kingdom. I also LOVE the sound of the dark ride.

I hope some of that is true. It's the area that just doesn't really have much depth to it, well besides Lost Continent, but don't get me on to that.

They will probably just remove that encounter thing that's a complete waste of time. They already have a kiddy coaster in the area, they need more than that! Unless they remove that as well.

If those concepts are out in the open, I'd say it's fairly certain that anything similar to it won't happen.

On a side note, I hate the fact the jeep isn't the retro version. </3

And I want more Jurassic Park attractions that don't involve water.
