Good to hear.

But is that still losing the original J Park ride for that one? The old eatery area?

I just wish they were able to add rides, not take away so I'm hopeful on that one. Or at least take away crummy ones.
The coaster would be in addition to the river adventure, not replacing it. The rumored plans I've seen for it show it on the other side of the walkway from the eatery/ride.
 
It is largely going by where the old triceratops meet was and I think will require moving the Rapter encounter .... I don't think anything major is being replaced so this is more of a net addition

That is great news, been way behind esp at US/IOA.

Would have still preferred...well that's been hammered home.
 


I assume that is just for filtering when looking for what resort to pick ... do you know if that will also be an option for preference when checking in? Like when you do online checking at POP will you be able to request “near Skyliner station”?

Not sure. Obviously not open yet so likely not in the system for that yet.

I almost wish they wouldn't. The more categories you add in to request the higher the chance for people to be disappointed when they don't get it. Someone's trip ruined because they wanted that skyliner view and they didn't get it (I can see the posts now lol). I could see Disney doing it just know that a lot of people (here at least on the Boards) do get upset when they don't get their requested room characteristics.
 
The new Jurassic park ride is supposed to be along the water front. Thats where they are clearing land for it.
And it will probably be finished in what? A year? It is shocking to me how fast Universal constructs its new rides (compared to Disney). I mean, what? About 1 and 3/4 year from when Dueling Dragons shut down until the new Hagrid ride will be open?

Yeah, just about that (it closed sept 4, 2017)

I get why some of the larger projects at Disney take a while with all the details - plus they tend to announce things earlier so I think it feels longer than it actually takes from the movement shovels start - but some of the smaller things are crazy how much longer it takes them

Well, it’s a request not a guarantee so why get upset?

I just think it is easier to request “near gondola” than having to know that means requesting “60’s section lakeside” or whatever

I'm guessing there will be a complete reshuffling of categories at Pop (and CBR, for that matter) when the skyliner opens, but I suppose that's for another thread.

Universal doesn’t announce anything right away either tho whereas Disney announces projects before construction even begins.

True point but it still makes me think in my mind how quickly Universal gets it up and running even the reason it seems that way is because they wait to announce. Disney sometimes makes me invested for years sometimes before I get something lol.
