Or just the idea of having exposed track in general.
I have no problem with it, as long as its aesthetically pleasing. For instance, Hulk is aesthetically pleasing, but Dragon Challenge was not.
They love that silly Incredicoaster.
This is like that but done better. If Jurassic Park/World was a real place, there would be rides, John Hammond said so, and much like Zoological conservation theme parks such as Busch Gardens and Sea World, they have coasters inspired by the attributes and adaptations of that animal.

No one loves Incredicoaster...
I enjoyed California Screamin’ because it’s a fun coaster. Jack-Jack on a stick didn’t improve it.
Sarcasm. California Screamin' was at least sincere as a tribute.

I was hoping they'd stay away from Japan's design as I didn't want nets everywhere. I'm very happy this coaster doesn't pass over people much but at the same time is in your face. Walking around this thing is going to be exciting.

First off, much to chagrin of many Disney Parks fans, theme parks are a subset fully within the Amusement Park set. As in, all theme parks are amusement parks, but not all amusement parks are theme parks.
And as @Jrb1979 said, I know lots of people who travel to the regional parks like Cedar Point, Dollywood, BGW, and Kings Island. Some Floridians will do the "I-75 Parks Road Trip" and will hit CP, KI, Dollywood/Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and SFGa.

Its like it's shocking to some that Disney isn't the only game in town. Every day I am amazed by the amount of Disney Elitist Attitude I see.

Yes that is true, but in the context it is obvious what is actually being discussed.

I love how I have the slightest less than positive thing to say about Universal and I’m blindly labeled a Disney Parks fan with elitist attitude. Chill dawgs.
Sure, and that’s great. I do the same. But we’re in the minority. Those parks get more like 1-2 million visitors a year, not 10-20 million. The numbers speak for themselves. I love Universal, but at one point I thought they were aiming for #1, and now it’s evident they aren’t or they’re delusional. Hopefully they can find an audience and work out a business model doing what they’re doing.

They’re building an amusement park ride.

What I gather is Universal shouldn't be building any coasters unless it's highly themed. I am the exact opposite Disney needs to build more thrilling rides. I for one think the Jurrasic Park coaster is much needed to replace Dragon Challenge.
I think once Universal opens Epic Universe it will be a game changer.

I love when I get called a Pixie Duster in this former, without a doubt one of the dumbed things that gets said on this site.
Epic Universe is obsessed with sightlines and immersion. The lands are physically and visually isolated from each other. It's also not going to be a major thrill park.

Which is fine its not going to be a major thrill park. It will probably have a few high thrilling rides. Something Disney really lacks. You can have high theming and high thrills.

Velocicoaster [if that's it's name] will have show scenes, a themed queue and landscaping. It exists in a land that represents a made up amusement park. It arguably fits its location better than Hulk on the other side of IoA.
Two things can be true at once. This can both be a themed coaster, and one which arguably should not have been built so tall or close to Three Broomsticks.

It's the same issue as Dino-Rama or Toy Story Land. An appropriate aesthetic is not necessarily visually pleasing. Large, mostly bare concrete walls are also appropriate to Jurassic Park/World but would also be a lousy visual.
