viking86 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Fantastic! Definitely looks like the best flyer to be built so far, looking forward to hear the reviews once it opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I Just found a couple of new photos from USJ, posted on Screamscape.com by a reader (Thank You whoever you are!) showing current construction... Love this panoramic view of the layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAngel94 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The concept is the same of Raptor at gardaland in italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVA62 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 That panoramic picture looks great. Wish I could get over to Japan and take in all the great parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinx Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I hope there is more themeing on this coaster then it appears in the video, wasn't the rumored budget for this thing like $80 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 ^As awesome as the ride looks, I do agree with you. Remember also the rumor that it would partially take place place in an aviary? Hopefully we'll see a bit more once the ride opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 ^ Astounding would be what I think, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
805Andrew Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I thought the ad for this ride was awesome too. As if I needed another reason to go back to Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember also the rumor that it would partially take place place in an aviary? Hopefully we'll see a bit more once the ride opens. Woah, if they did something like the aviary from either movie that would be absolutely amazing. Maybe they can incorporate a section where the train picks up a random tourist and drops them into a huge mosasaurus tank. #NeverForgetZara Edited January 25, 2016 by michaellynn4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 ^That would be by far the best B&M Coaster ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I hope there is more themeing on this coaster then it appears in the video, wasn't the rumored budget for this thing like $80 million? I would imagine just based on that video we'll see some caves or something that you'll fly through. I would assume the queue will have some sort of themeing as well (all the video shows is a quick shot of the archway that says flying dinosaur).

KBrylczyk Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I would assume the queue will have some sort of themeing as well (all the video shows is a quick shot of the archway that says flying dinosaur). Judging by Uni's history with coasters and queues (Dragons, Mummy, Hulk, etc), um, yeah, there's going to be a buttload of themeing for this ride. I mean, just forget Rip Ride Rockit...

A.J. Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 So, apparently the partnership that will result in Nintendo-themed attractions in the Universal theme parks will extend to Universal Studios Japan as well, in case anyone was still questioning that.

Garet Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 ^ I'd always kind of thought that being Japan, home of Nintendo, and with Potter in Osaka still being insanely popular, that any land for expansion would eventually go to Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Express and Universal would set up a 2nd park somewhere with Nintendo as the headliner to draw crowds, instead of it being somewhere in the already busy current park so I'm quite surprised by this.

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hold onto your butts! Also, I believe based only on these pics that the ride is testing at night!!! From various sources on twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
