Lasers back on in Dinosaur

[lego606]

Saw on Twitter that the laser effects at the beginning and end of Dinosaur, which have been off for years, are back on.

Yeti next?

(edit: apparently these were the spinny lasers that had already been working apparently? Sorry for causing confusion)

Update: video proof! https://vine.co/v/b9wvaePngQi

If this is true then that is great news, always good to hear things are getting repaired, just a shame they are left in that state for so long.

I didn't even know there were supposed to be laser effects! Hope they can keep them running long enough for us to see them next May. We never did get to see the Yeti before it broke.

It's kind of sad that our urgency to get to WDW is not fueled purely by a desire to see what's new, because of its newness -- we're just in a hurry to get there and see new things before they break down forever!

GK was here.

Maybe this has to do with the "guest enhancements" mentioned in the other thread.

It does say to "get ready to experience these attractions like never before!"

i.e. running properly...
(sarcasm, by the way)

Maybe George K is actually helping! Any pictures or video?

I hope it is true. Remember the Yeti working crap on twitter. I won't believe it without video or solid confirmation. I told those lazy butts to get things working on Dinosaur now that a new sheriff is in town.

It's DisneyHipsters, they're an established account as opposed to RandomEgg_143 or whoever it was last time.

The lasers were physically removed. So they have either been replaced or this report is false.

Surprise, surprise. Incorrect info on twitter??

Next you're going to tell me Beastly Kindomme isn't actually greenlit.

I didn't notice any lasers this week. The Ride was running in pretty good condition though. Doors Working, Alioramus working, etc...

 

[Jake Wilson]

Anyone going to DAK today?

 

[Zipadeelady]

Josh...I've got your next blog!

Why removed, as opposed to simply turned off? Were they re-purposed elsewhere?

 

[ctxak98]

I almost had a heart attack from this news when I saw it......And then I saw the news came from twitter! ugh. I still am hoping for the best considering its my favorite ride! but its hard to believe twitter!

 

[RSoxNo1]

Does anyone have video of them actually working (not necessarily from today, but in general).

Another false twitter report, i assume this is? Wonder if it was the same source as the yeti nonsense that was posted recently.

Any confirmation appreciated, but no reason to get excited. Given what Steve said, I'm doubtful this is true.

 

[PhilharMagician]

The lasers were a cool effect. I am not sure I am can believe the report that they have been re-installed. Will they ever fix the pterodactyl and make him fly again?

 

[tnemgif]

Here's a direct link to the tweet. It is a fairly reputable source and looks like at least one other Twit (Tweeter? Tweet?) has confirmed.

I've never heard of this person before. But I will warn that people agreeing with him doesn't mean anything, there were several people on this site "confirming" the yeti was working the other day when that twit posted about it.

Glad to be wrong as usual when there's broken effects that could be fixed, but i'm going to need more confirmation than just some dude on twitter. I'm guessing that reinstating lasers that were physically removed is a little more of a chore than just replacing some bulb or whatever. I guess it's possible this could have been done overnight or something, but i'm still skeptical until we get more concrete information and evidence.

At this point though, i'd like nothing more than to be wrong about things like this. It gives me no pleasure at all to live in an age where we're always wired to expect and assume the worst from Disney World and that people on Twitter are just screwing with the emotions of actual fans. It's a sad state of affairs when things like this aren't just assumed to be true. I can't tell you how relieved and happy I would be if this trend started to die.
