Will record breaking Jurassic World push IOA expansion?

[JT3000]

It's just a shame they wasted the major expansion pad on Kong.

We won't know if it was a waste until the ride opens. Sure, it leaves JP's options limited, but perhaps it was in the park's best interests.

Most recent estimates put it at #2 domestic opening of all time, right between the two Avengers movies.

I'll just leave this right here.

$208.8

Can't imagine a movie doing $80+m more than anticipated and not decide to move forward with an overhaul or expansion.

Exciting times.

I'm not sure why you're posting that like an "I told you so," when I clearly said

I think Jurassic expansion would be a no-brainer. Dinosaurs are kewl.

My only objection was that it was tracking as the #2 opening weekend, not #1, which was true when I posted it.

I still want an amber mine coaster...





The gyro sphere ride does seem like an almost no-brainer at this point though.

I still want to take the facility tour with this guy

The Jurassic area in the park is still well done.

Few alterations/improvements maybe to do something with the flying ride they have there - in Singapore adults can ride, but at Orlando you have to a child on it.

Furthermore they could push the boat out on a proper eating establishment - the current restaurant serving quick food there is in a massive building and is quite frankly dog food.

The director and Chris Pratt have said the sequel talks have already begun. Pratt says they have him under contract for " like 38 movies"

I was actually playing the Lego Jurassic World game for my youtube channel, You are helped throughtout the game by that DNA. Didnt realize he was from Jurassic Park!

You have never seen the original Jurassic Park or did you forget about Mr DNA? If you haven't seen it watch it it holds up really well.

Ummm, so I don't know who I am posting on the Universal forums but PLEASE dear Universal Orlando.. please expand and encompass Jurassic World into your park!

Just saw the movie last night, and AMAZING. I want to sit in a hamster ball and have Jimmy Fallon explain dinosaurs to me. PLEASE.

Margaritaville, Starbucks, Pandora.. I saw you all. I would so be the guy saving my two margaritas while dinos attacked.

The "save the margaritas" guy is a cameo by Jimmy Buffet.

I think Kong and Jurassic blend well together. I don't think it's a waste of space. Of course and attraction can be great or bad doesn't matter what it's based on.

Why? Because they both are jungle islands and Kong fights dinosaurs? In my opinion, this is the same weak, tenuous themeing that's giving us Frozen in EPCOT. Frankly, after Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, I expect more from UO.

Furthermore, I'm not commenting on the attraction itself. It sounds like an interesting concept and it certainly has hype going for it. What I'm questioning is the use of the KK IP and short changing an existing IP and area of the park that arguably has greater interest in the GP.

Marve's Kevin Feige, just posted this picture congratulating Jurassic World.

Universal pushed the JP gates further back to make a distinction between Skull Island and Jurassic Park. Where does it state they're marketing both as being in the same themed area?

Silliest post i've read on here in a long time.

Universal are giving us a new E-ticket attraction and your complaining about themeing?!

I saw the margarita guy too LOL! Frankly, I would've done the same thing! Do they have the land for a gyro ride? you'd have to have a LOT of spheres- with only 2 people being able to ride, the wait would be ridiculous.
