Themeing style for the never-built Amber Mine Coaster.

The Amber Mine Coaster is a cancelled Jurassic Park Roller Coaster that was going to be built at Universal's Islands of Adventure.

Development[]

Deciding to go even bigger, Universal was considering adding a hyper coaster to Jurassic Park. It would've gone where Skull Island: Regin of Kong in now, extending out over the pathway, even taking over some of the team member area behind Camp Jurassic. Being a hyber coaster, the attraction would've reached over two hundred feet tall at its tallest point, nearly twice as tall as The Incredible Hulk Coaster. Unlike Raptor Racers, this roller coaster was supposedly approved and was being designed by mid-2001. Surrounded by electric fences, the area would've been themed like an Amber Mining Facility. A mix of mountains reminiscent of Big Thunder Mountain mixed with theming elements you could already find within Camp Jurassic, this massive roller coaster would climb a chain lift hill and dive down the mountain, swooping around water falls. The passengers would presumably travel along track meant for mining purposes, in and around the amber mines. Not much else is known about the concept for the ride, other then the fact it was cancelled before work even started, likely due to the drop in tourism after the events of 9/11.
