This place looks like it will be fun to visit when it's completed, hopefully before my next trip.

From Jurassic Park -

"When the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the guests."

Let's hope T-rex behaves.

It's looking good! I wish it was going to be open in October when I am down, but it is just another reason to go back!

Thanks for the update Steve.

Looks great! I can't wait to visit this place on our next trip!

One question though, I thought the TRex on the outside was supposed to be an animatronic...

It's lookin good!

I hate to say this, but that's not a T-Rex skeleton in your picture. T-Rexes (T-Rexii?) weren't that big. It's an Argentinosaurus. Here are pictures of the 125' long skeleton at the T-Rex in Kansas City.

The one at DTD seen in your picture will be 135' long.

Nice, great rock work too. Anyone know the company doing the work?

Let's hope it keeps on track to open in November as we will be down first week of December and love to eat there.

The facility itself looks great, but I've been wondering if that jungle backdrop is there to stay. In my opinion, I'd rather see rockwork rather than a green steel backdrop. But then again, they have a lot more work to do so you never know.

Disney is now saying that it will open in mid-October.

 

[urbanvegan]

PLEASE let this October opening date hold true! We will be there Oct 10-15 and you have no idea how much I am geeking out to eat here.

Although I have a feeling I will dislike the food.

But DINOSAURS!!!

 

[Laura]

How far before opening will they start accepting reservations?

Just think- there's a company somewhere that makes dinosaurs.
Wonder how they screen job applicants- what kind of background experience do they look for.

It looks kinda neat, in a Rainforest Cafe kind of way.
