It’s an interesting way to try to blend the blues and greys of World with the oranges and teal of Park.

PHOTOS: Jurassic Outfitters Sign Being Refurbished and Bright Colors Being Painted All Over Jurassic Park in Preparation for VelociCoaster at Universal’s Islands of Adventure - WDWNT

Today, while we were touring around Jurassic Park at Universal's Island of Adventure we noticed some improvements taking place.

Slightly strange.

Looking at the side by side you can still see the hints of green/blue in the old faded rocks.

This is just part of the process.

The seat wall stones receive a new base (the actual primer), two separate colourful washes, and then a final warm brown wash. Most scenic painting is worked in various layers. It’s how they were painted back when the park opened. Really fun stuff to see!

Also if you notice, the old rocks look a bit worn and reddish-brown, with a sort of gloss sheen. This is due to people constantly sitting and leaning their hands on them. The phenomenon is jokingly referred to as “people funk” as it, well... is a result of the various human secretions wearing down the clear coat on surfaces lol.

People Funk is my favorite experimental band.

Great info! :thumbsup:

Well, none of JP’s repaint has to do with matching the original colours to Velocicoaster’s colour scheme — like I said, this treatment is what the stones received in the late 90s. However, I do think maybe some warmth was brought into the JW colour scheme in key areas to give it contextual cohesion, if you look closely at some of the concrete and rockwork here and there.

Screaming! Catch them live at your local queue wall corner, seat walls, and hand rails lmfao.

Also, here’s a before and after of the last age wash, revealing the final effect.

..Something that struck me, is in the center of track. Is there..some form of wiring being added onto the coaster track? If so, could it be..a potential from of light package, similar to Monster/Hangtime/Soaring with Dragon?

EDIT: I confused a part of the coaster track in-between the rails to be some form of wiring. Don't mind me, someone going overcomplicated on an image.

Are we thinking four or five trains max on this one?

Also, for train cycling, I know they have to complete x-amount of hours, but how does that work for adding multiple trains. Do they have to run x-amount of hours with the max amount of trains they want to run at once, or just x-amount of hours period?

Spring break opening? This looks like it could seriously open any day now (which I would not be opposed to).

There is a very easy way to tell when it’s going to soft open.

@Brian G. How’s your calendar looking? When will you be away from the parks?

I hope @Frank Drackman doesn’t mind me linking his great Velocicoaster photo on to this thread. Not seen that framing / location before. Nice.

Is it just me or does that almost look like Uni did it on purpose?
