Depressed T-Rex at EEA

[Megalodumb]

Does anyone else notice how the t-rex inside Ellen's Energy Adventure seems to always be ticked-off? I noticed this during my last visit, but never really thought about it until recently.

As you ride by, watch his/her facial expression which clearly shows signs of aggression and/or distress. (Of course, the stegosaurus looks a bit more distressed at that point, but that's a whole other discussion.)

Has anyone else seen this? Please note that I have seen the film Jurassic Park, and can clearly tell the difference between an enraged t-rex and one that is in a constant state of mental or emotional turmoil.

Perhaps, it finally just recently realized it was extinct, which could be a bit distressing for any of us.
Or, it's just as PO'd at TDO as some of the rest of us...?

I think it realizes that all of the cool dinosaurs hang out over at Animal Kingdom......

 

[Zweiland]

This... is an outrage. An abomination. I'm at a complete loss of words.

I'm about to go lie down in the middle of the street in protest.

I'm assuming it's because he can't keep his Magic Band on those stubby front legs.

I think I've found the root cause!!

He's representing the Dolphins.

Noticing that would require me to stay awake inside Ellen's Energy Adventure.

And why should the T-Rex be any different than the rest of us inside that pavilion? Think about it, it's depressing just to ride that sucker, think about being stuck there for YEARS! We're lucky he can't reach his mouth with his little hands, otherwise we'd have a "T-Rex overdoses on sleeping pills" story about 7 years ago.

I thought they closed UoE YEARS ago. At least that's what I tell my kids as we walk past.

 

[Texas84]

What you did there. I see it.

He's not depressed, he is actually jealous and ticked off.

Jealous - his brother got a huge restraunt named after him at Downtown Disney Springs.

Ticked Off - he doesn't like Ellen and he is stuck there with her.

C'mon, we've gone this far in this thread and no one's made this joke yet? Ok, if I must:

Speaking of ride animals with problems, anyone seen how lethargic the Yeti has gotten over the last few years? Jeez, I don't think he even lifts a finger anymore!

The T-Rex in Jurassic Park at Islands of Adventure seems a lot happier and healthier.
It certainly seems to have a nicer place to live.

I hear that TDO has a black budget for animal/dinosaur meds. Supposedly they burn though a couple million dollars worth of Prozac for them every quarter.

He needs a Christmas overlay!!
