Dinosaur has seen better days

[DisneyCane]

Sadly without Dr. Seeker saying " Whoops!" Going over his tail it's an odd quiet moment in the ride..

I never knew he was saying "whoops!" about the tail until it was gone. I had thought he was saying "whoops!" about the burp.

I've probably ridden Dinosaur 100 times and never knew you were supposed to be going over its tail!

Going to DAK on Tuesday, I'm definitely going to see how things look now. If things are fixed, I'm curious as to what they did to get back in shape so quickly.... & why that wasn't done before.

I believe executives have been seen riding it. Maybe making final decisions? Just a wild guess.

It doesn't mean anything, but Disney Parks just released a video of a World of Avatar worker briefly talking about how she met her husband in Avatar and bonded over the Dinosaur ride.

That's the first time I've seen Disney mention the attraction in an HD video for a while... Similar to when the Muppets were riding imagination and spaceship earth.

Although this time it was just a 3 second snip.

Went back for some final rides on Dinosaur (hopefully just for my current trip!) and there were a few things not working… the doors at the start, green laser and weirdly the long neck dino didn’t move his neck but his mouth was chewing. Never seen that one before! I know the doors and laser are temperamental and I’ve seen them working, not working and working all in one day so I would read too much into that.

Everything else seemed in good shape animatronics and effects.

Was the intensity "dialed up" like some have said recently?

Unless it's like this...You better hold on to your Tikka Masala you ate at Yak and Yeti or you'll be Yakkin..

I’m not sure if it has been “dialled up” but it was certainly a wild and bumpy ride. I don’t think it needs more versus what I got and I am a thrill seeker.

Well, my friends, it was a good run...

Based on the continued vagueness of the proposals and recent repairs to the show quality I'd be amazed if Dinosaur closed before 1st October 2024... so we still have time to ride and appreciate it.

I likely won't be back until Summer 2025 at the earliest, so tears will be the chaser for my wine (a reference to another attraction I'll miss dearly).

Could it be logical that it could be kept but the area around it changes?

As much as I want Dinosaur to stay, WDI seems pretty set on changing the ride to some other theme. If it has to be done, I'm glad it would be Indy instead of Zootopia, but I still think its ultimately a mistake to get rid of the dinosaurs.

At least we can remember the good times..Like when the Carnotaurus had an interview with the Big Thunder Mountain Goat..

The people involved in maintenance have no role in developing new attractions.

Disney produced these along with Henson Creature shop that created the Goat..Here's the playslist..Some are pretty good with what they did with some of the AA's from Splash, HM, and SSE..

Of course, but we know when a ride has an unpublished internal closure date they let it run into the ground... Splash received minimal show maintenance for over a year and it wasn't the first ride to have this sad end.

Dinosaur was in increasing states of broken for over six months, so for many of these being fixed recently likely means it has some more time left operating at DAK.

We don’t know because that’s not how it works. Splash being in rough shape wasn’t something new.

Zero chance with current plans.
