random question: how do they manage to pull through the launch sections? do they put some power on so that they aren't acting as brakes?
You can just pull it slowly. The magnetic braking forces are very small when the trains are moving slowly - I don't know the specifics of the trains and magnets well enough to crunch the numbers properly, but I'd strongly wager it takes more 'effort' to pull the train up through the steep track sections than through the launch track.random question: how do they manage to pull through the launch sections? do they put some power on so that they aren't acting as brakes?
Yes, you are correct.You can just pull it slowly.

Or @Dar's suggestion, of course, but I think that's just making work for yourself.
^^The mistake there is assuming that recreation is accurate. That video should be viewed almost like concept art, from a general "this is what the ride will look like" perspective rather than exact shaping, scaling, speeds, etc.
I do have an unthemed NL2 layout of the coaster (accurate to scale and all) which I can look at if you want something a bit more accurate, but even then, it's impossible to get it spot on.
Referencing things around it. Again, it's not completely 100% but compared to the one posted on this page, I'd say it is. Also the track size helps. I feel like some people that do recreations never take a step back at each part they made and see if it actually looks the same.That's why I mentioned that if the recreation is correct. I was not assuming.
It can only be close to correct if they would have had the measurements.
Curious, how did you scale if that is not known. It seems impossible to know (for now) how tall the first bit is after the first launch. And how long the launches.
Have you got any images of/links to this? Really interested to seeReferencing things around it. Again, it's not completely 100% but compared to the one posted on this page, I'd say it is.

Jurassic World Velocicoaster....i'm not sure how I feel about the sound of that. Think its the official name? I'm sure i'll get used to it however if it is ?Shamelessly stolen from reddit, but...

It's not an announcement and the last sentence that mentions Jurassic World Velocicoaster, that @davidm highlighted, has since been deleted. Guess someone posted something they shouldn't have. So although not confirmed, it seems like that's indeed the name.That is probably the quietest major ride announcement I've ever seen.
Remember, this is the park that named Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. It's not a stretch to say their PR team is more concerned with cramming all the required trademarks into the ride name than making a name that rolls comfortably off the tongue.Jurassic World Velocicoaster....i'm not sure how I feel about the sound of that.
