We still don’t have an official announcement on that new roller coaster being built at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, but there was an exciting new development involving the coming attraction yesterday. A velociraptor figure was lifted into the construction site yesterday, as seen in this tweet from Orlando Informer.
- We’ve been monitoring the construction of this new attraction at Universal Orlando Resort for some time. Check out our construction update from last month.
- The raptor was wrapped in some kind of protective layer as it was lowered into place within the construction walls around the attraction.
- While there is currently no information known about the new coaster, the construction walls around the project suggest the new attraction will be themed to the Jurassic World franchise.
- Be sure to check back for more information on this ongoing project at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
