It's like as if B&M and Intamin came together to create a Maverick like ride here..its really nice. The layout feels really complex.

Jurassic War - Update

Quick update tonight. Video editing and sound mixing is in progress. I cannot wait to share this with you all! To tide you over...



Stay tuned for more!

If there is still a spot, you should enter Build-It this round, or wait another round, because I would so vote for you. But I'm fine if you don't

^ I'll have to sit this one out. I'm focused too much on the video right now. But thank you for the suggestion!

Jurassic War - Update

These next few updates (more like teasers) will likely be brief, which is good because it means I'm spending more time editing video!



Stay tuned!

Whoa whoa whoa! Looks so much like the park in the movie!

^ Thanks! That was my inspiration!

Jurassic War - Update

Video editing continues!

While you wait, here are two overviews of the coaster:



That's almost 4,000 feet of track!



Stay tuned for more. The video should arrive next week!

Jurassic War - Update

I'm putting the finishing touches on the Jurassic War video. Expect it soon! Until then...



Here's a good shot of the coaster's 110-foot drop into the raptor pit. It's hard to get good shots of some of the coaster's element due to the condensed nature of the layout.



The adjacent midway actually extends over the edge of the raptor pit, allowing guests an up-close look of the coaster.



Stay tuned!

Follow me on Facebook and Twitter for additional previews. And be on the lookout for the Jurassic War video on my YouTube channel.

Jurassic War - Update

The Jurassic War video will be released on Wednesday, Aug. 19! Until then, here are some screens to tide you over:



With a large portion of the ride positioned below the treeline, Jurassic War will likely sneak up on approaching guests, just as a stealthy Velociraptor would.



Much of the queue runs parallel to the coaster's pre-lift sequence, which includes a barrel roll.



Stay tuned. The video is coming soon!

Jurassic War - RIDE IT TODAY!

The wait is over. It's time to venture into the raptor pit.



Your adventure begins after the events of Jurassic World in the research facilities on the nearly deserted Isla Nublar, home of the ill-fated theme park.

A group of government officials have returned to the island to weaponize the remaining Velociraptors – an endeavor that played a role in Jurassic World.

Riders depart the station and navigate through the island’s rocky terrain. A barrel roll flips riders head over hills – a 180-degree turn transitions into the 80-foot-tall lift hill.



The train then plunges near-vertically 110 feet into the “raptor pit” testing ground. Riders enter a double-inversion bowtie element – a first for a Bolliger & Mabillard coaster.

The bowtie element transitions directly into the first vertical loop – which syncs with a train completing the second half the coaster’s 3,996-foot layout.

A sidewinder inversion turns the train back toward the core of the raptor pit. The train threads through the first vertical loop and plunges toward the ground, entering the first of three “cages” meant to slow the raptors. But as learned in Jurassic World, nothing goes according to plan. The first of the two cages “launch” riders rather than slow them. The first launch leads into a large banked turn.

The second launch is considerably more powerful – launching riders from 40-58 mph and into an inverted turn. Riders then maneuver an inclined loop before maneuvering a dizzying ground-hugging chase sequence toward the second vertical loop.

Like the first, it syncs with a train completing the first half of the coaster. A sweeping turn begins the return to the station, but not before a zero-g roll 40 feet above the ground.

The ride concludes with a “flatspin roll” element that leads into the brake run.
