I did a screen capture from the video, then brightened up the picture. This is really SAD.

Completely agree - was so underwhelmed when we reached that part of the ride, and the photo sucked accordingly!

Unkadug, you are awesome.
Thanks go out to RSoxNo1 too for sharing the fab video.
:wave:
I have heard about this fabled beast, but never actually saw exactly what it looked like. Yeah, it is pretty laughable, but imagine how much worse it would be with nothing there. They have to put something there in the meantime while Big Daddy is being fixed...
I may be mistaken, but did i hear correctly that there is also a mock up dino for the Carno who chases your vehicle when he is 'down'?

You know, I think Carnohead gets a bad rep. He's not such a bad guy, I mean he's always stepping in for the running one. He's doin' the best a Carnohead can do!

It's too "old school" to suggest, but why not just...
...TAKE THE ATTRACTION OUT OF CIRCULATION UNTIL THE #&*@! THING IS FIXED?
I guess we could debate until we're blue in the face what Walt Disney would do under this or that circumstance, but it's a given that he wouldn't stand for this kind of cut-rate, slipshod showmanship.

I agree. When I was a CM, I remember that a part of my training on Peter Pan involved "7 essential animations". If any one of those was not working, (for example, if Wendy on the gangplank wasn't shaking) the attraction wasn't supposed to open. I never came across this situation myself, so I never saw first hand it they'd still close for this reason, or if nowadays, they'd say, ah, no one will notice, lets not mess up our numbers.
But the Carno is such a big part of Dinosaur, I'm surprised they let it run with such a poor stand in. But on the other hand, look at the Yeti...:lookaroun

That has got to be the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life!!
:brick:I hope they have the real Carnotaurus fixed when I'm there in 2 weeks. I want my daughter to get the living snot scared out of her by the real one, and not be laughing her butt off at this joke of a prop.
EDIT: I think its terribly sad that Disney is willing to let guest numbers dictate the level of functionality of an attraction. In the past when something broke, they would take it down and fix it. Now they put a band-aid on it(or crappy stand-in) and keep the attraction open to keep guest numbers up.

Nope, you are correct. :sohappy:
Well the day has come... I'll be sleeping at Disney World tonight (POR).
I was wondering does anyone know if there is a timeline for Dino to be fixed? This is one of my favorite rides and I remember the very first picture taken of the wife and I on this ride and the very real looks of terror. It was incredible. Of course first times can never be repeated but even in the many subsequent rides we've shared with the Dinos we've always managed to enjoy them and yup even get a little scared at the last Carno charge (although I swear it was toned down a few years ago).
Anyway, any information on whether its fixed or when it might be fixed would be appreciated.

Wow that is pathetic. It would probably be better off dressing up a CM in a dinosaur costume and standing in its place for the time being. :brick:
