Universal IoA | Jurassic World VelociCoaster | Intamin Blitz | 2021

Do Intamin offer the OTSR on these? i hope they don't, because the restraints on Taron really add to the crazy feeling!

There's a Midway Mayhem video that shows the trains on site. Though they are wrapped up you can see they have a very similar shape to the Taron trains. I think we can be confident that the restraints will be the overhead lapbars.

Trackwork is complete!!

I always seem to find that once track work has been completed for a coaster, the wait to see it have it's first test run feels like it takes ages ?
I'm guessing there is A LOT of theming and special effects that are left to be placed in, but I feel like we could see testing as early as end of this year/January?

All of their Blitz coasters from 2014 onwards use the Mack-style lap bars so I'd be surprised if they went back to the OSTRs.

First they add trim brakes on the first banked immelman, then they add brakes on the top hat....If they were to add OTSRs....I would not be pleased ?

Trims on banked track..? Please link, cause that's not how that works.

I couldn't find the link for it but managed to get a screenshot the other day. Its not on the actual banked turn but just as it goes into the rock structure.

Now that i'm looking at it closely I'm starting to debate whether or not it is an actual trim!

 

[MLDesigns]

Yeah its not a trim, its brackets for sensors. Same thing is present at the bottom of the drop from main top hat.

Ah I see! I was slightly confused when I saw them

 

[catsounds]

Even if it were trims, why is that bad? it's not like they've been added after testing, If trims in the design allow for the design to be so, what's the issue

 

[ScottLann]

I get that any trims brakes added were meant to be there in the first place with the plans however they do sometimes signal that there's going to be slower areas on the coaster. Like Mako - i'm sure we'd all prefer it if that trim brake on the second hill wasn't there?‍

 

[Matthew Fair]

wowzas!

 

[Hutch]

Don't care what the rest of the theming/effects will be, but if they at least get the velociraptor screeches to go off during the launches, I'll be happy.

 

[ScottLann]

A new angle of the trains (still covered up). Also, on Bioreconstruct's twitter, looks like the first turn-around section into the pre-show is pretty much covered up now.

[SDaniel]

Short trains?

 

[HarmL98]

Short trains?

I am sure this will not be the full length haha. Looks promising! Taron with a combination of Maverick or something..

 

[bob_3_]

Looks like they've added them ready for a pull through maybe?

 

[CSLKennyNI]

The cars have a clearance envelope attached so yeah definitely a pull through happening soon. Love the next level step of a temporary wrap on the trains being branded in theme.
