Awesome Dinosaur POV- Also shows its flaws

[ctxak98]

for anyone interested in attraction POV's like myself, here is the latest and BEST Dinosaur ride through Ive ever seen. its crystal clear but really shows its age and how much the Dinosaurs need love. All of them are not showing full range of motion. Noticeably Styracosaurus, alioramus, Sauropod, and Carnotaurus that takes a picture.



By watching this new video and going to back to Martins Tribute video of Dinosaur (link below), watching how much they moved back during CTX days, its really sad how much they've neglected this attraction that could be amazing. Idk what do you guys all think!?( ride starts around 9:28 I think!?)

If it's not that noticeable to the general public, they aren't going to spend money on fixing it. There are many attractions with missing/broken effects, but because it isn't ride breaking, they see no reason to work at it. And even then, I'm sure the yeti would probably be higher up on the list of things to fix in AK.

That's true I see where you're coming from!

At least the Alioramus was working a bit better than he was in 2013 when I rode. That time, he barely stood up at all....his posture was still nose-down and the creature sliding in and out of his mouth made it look like he was throwing up.

Also I've often wondered what the velociraptor was supposed to be doing. Martin's video makes it look as if he actually opens his mouth and growls at the vehicle.
Every time I've ridden it just stands there and shakes spastically....looks like he's got Parkinsons or some crap.

So...I guess that's what TDO considers "progress"?

Also, the broken animatronics always make me think of Clifford.


EDIT -- Woah. Charles Grodin that big on the screen is scary....

As long as the parks are full aint nothin getting "plussed" except for the executive washroom.

And to think both of them were in two attractions in WoL...

"Mr. Iger, would you prefer the white gold or the platinum toilet seat?"

Also, is it just me or does the "adventure" theme to Dinosaur's score sound an awful lot like "Southampton" from Titanic? Did James Horner compose Dinosaur, too?
Click Martin's video at 23:36 and compare it to

Even with it's "flaws"... At least Disney has ONE ride that's better compared to Uni's version.. Disney wins best attraction for Dinosaurs! BUUT... Also wins WORST with the much outdated Ellen ride (Yet I still love it). So Universal's Jurassic Park ride falls in between these two... Until they update the ride to go with the new movie. Then I'll be Disney will be a step behind Uni once again.

Wow you're so right! haha!

Wow, I had no idea the dinos moved that much, now the ride's always going to feel underwhelming

I think of that scene from Clifford when the skeletons pop out on Indiana Jones.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

When I was at IoA this past November and rode Jurassic Park the Dino's were about as flimsy with odd ball twitchy-ness..

Theme parks have given up on animating dinosaurs.

Totally agree with you! Idk how they did it, but disney totally won with Dinosaurs. However it is sad that they feel it's not okay to work on attractions due to the lack of attractions. Hopefully once Pandora is in place and there's a nighttime safari, they will work on fixing the Yeti and then give Dinosaur some much needed love!!!

Disney knows they don't need to animate the dinos because everyone goes in there for Dr. Seeker. That's why they crank his voice in the time rover and leave all the dinos broken.

I seem to remember the dino where your picture is taken was MUCH scarier than currently. He barely moves and doesn't seem to lunge toward the car much. I could have sworn that before, the move was so sudden and deliberate that it actually made you jump.

It indeed was, you are not mistaken. And his jaw moves much less creating a rather dull effect!

If you had only seen the parks in the early to mid 90's (minus AK of course)....but then again in retrospect I wish I hadn't.
