God bless the "Ignore" button.
AAAHHH!!!They could use this. Would probably scare me more than the Carnotaurus.
Actually, now I want to watch the "Blarney" vidoe from Dinosaurs.

I did a screen capture from the video, then brightened up the picture. This is really SAD.
OMFG!!! !!! :ROFLOL::lol::ROFLOL::lol:
That is so sad on many levels.

Here is the full trip report from that day. This has all the Dinosaur photos.
Here is the image itself. The screen capture may be better.

Oh, great.
I can't wait for 5 years from now, when people have "FIX ME!" carno avatars, and people are saying, Wait, there used to be Spiders in ITTBAB? There used to be waterfalls on everest?
Then they'll reminisce about the time when the animatronics in Dinosaur actually moved.
Another example of Animal Kingdom's rapid descent in quality.

And if Disney cuts back on discounting and raises prices, those same people will moan and cry.
Can't have both.

I just rode this the other day and had no idea about the stand in. I was in complete and utter shock! After that I kinda just wrote off Animal Kingdom. The lack of quality care in that park has become laughable.

The irony here is that the only reason the "stand in" Carno is in place is because the actual show Carno is recieving some quality care.

I hope this gets fixed before I'm down there next week. I really don't want my kids first ride to be a joke with this sad pathetic dino head on a stick.

You know what happens if you point out logic in a thread like this...

I think the hole in his logic is that the ride shouldn't be open when the Carno is getting a face-lift.
If there were one animatronic that you would think would have to operational in order to operate the attraction, it would be this Carno.
I'm not upset the Carno's getting work... I think that's great. I'm upset management thinks there's nothing wrong with pulling him and replacing him with this to keep the attraction open. This and the yeti should serve as a telling sign of how things have changed as far as policy.
Dinosaur is a shell of it's former self already from the days of CTX... Now it's mostly a bumpy ride through the dark with the speakers turned up WAY TOO LOUD... And for a limited time only, we'll throw in a cardboard cutout finale scene!!

This now beats out the stationary "Swooping pterodactyl" for the cheesiest effect on Dinosaur.:ROFLOL:
This isn't the first time this has happened. The exact same configuration was used when the standing carno was rehabbed in 2000 (and perhaps since then - that's just when I was there). The carno head in the picture is a spare that they use whenever one of the animatronics is under repair.

I wonder if Disney ever thought of making two of the main Carnotaurus head so that if one were to be taken down for maintenance the other could be put in its place without lessening the quality of the "show"?

I thought there was already a stand-in Yeit. :lol:

It would be more reassuring to see Disney take an attraction down completely and spend a couple weeks doing full maintenance, instead of disabling an effect and putting in a sorry joke of a stand-in, thus reducing the quality of the attraction even more, and doing a little bit a night over a couple months and prolonging downtime of a crucial effect on a key attraction.
Attraction closure for a short time > Attraction open with crappy stand-in effect for a long time
