This really needs to come back.

This really needs to come back.

It was cheesy, but good. Required one employee as an actor, who handled both rooms in his costume. One AA in Front of the building, then limited movement AA's on the inside (2 rooms).

All they need to do is expand on it for a dark ride experience. No idea where they would put it though.

The long-necked dino on the JP ride in Florida always appears to be broken with very crude movement and some seaweed dangling from its mouth.

this will always be more impressive than any screen.

Maybe originally. Toward the end, it looked like a highly-textured sock puppet.

Secret Life of Pets is an awful franchise. The only thing they should use that IP for is a day kennel for fake Emotional Assistance animals after they've been turned away at the gate.

When I went to Universal Studios (Orlando) for the first time, I was hyped up for the JP ride. I rode the Dinosaur ride the day before which was very impressive but JP must be better, right? Sock puppets till the end but the end was good.

The necks on these things sorta began to look like construction equipment going to a costume party. Still pretty wonderful and charming, though. And, yes, I'd prefer these really-there mechanical dinos over CGI dinos on screens any day.

Any chance they'll bring back Back to the Future?

I would love to see an update of the Back to the Future ride that this time took guests racing through 1955, Alt-1985, What-if 2015 and 1885. Have the entire Tannen clan involved. I think the franchise is still popular enough to justify it and create a wonderful over-the-top adventure.

I thought we were living in alt-2015. Isn't Biff Tannen POTUS?

I've always suspected there might be a sports almanac involved....

I saw one recently at Wondercon. I thought if only I could go back in time and put some money on the cubbies.

If you wanna see construction equipment at a costume party, visit Fantasmic at DHS.

You mean this travesty? Disneyland's was just like it once. It's a head on a stick with streamers.

Now THIS is a Dragon! or snake. This thing shot lasers from it's eyes and fire from it's mouth!

I would love to see this show brought back. I would also love to see the original Dracula show too.
