There's probably a way to make the projections scroll as the ride vehicle moves past them to give the riders an increased sensation of speed.

Kong uses screens to make you feel like you're moving, I'm sure projection could do the job too.

If UE is to close, it would be nice if they moved the AA's and whatever is inside into Dinosaur. Or what the could around the outside to make into a mini land.

Well maybe it's time for Disney to spring on some quick-and-dirty rockwork and plants?

Is Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride really the aspirational metric here?



There's a persistent rumor that Disney actually had loads and loads of scenic materials (plastic plants, waterfall pumps, etc.) all set to go for Countdown to Extinction, and they simply ran out of time to install the stuff before the park o

Or heck, since they seem to like mapped projection so much, just project stuff onto the walls. There's probably a way to make the projections scroll as the ride vehicle moves past them to give the riders an increased sensation of speed.

As for me, I LIKE it the way it is.
I like it as a dark ride, where you don't see everything.
That's what makes it exciting, and although not really anymore - scary to me.
If it was all props and visuals, it'd lose the thrill of the unknown.

Man, you would LOVE Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride.

Well, it makes Dinosaur a different ride.
I love the rides chock full of visual - PotC and HM are two of my all time favorites.
But, dinosaur - particularly since it aims to be scary wouldn't work the same if you could see everything.

I'd rather see them added as a diorama to the train at MK just like at Disneyland or a new mini-ride in Dinoland.

Quick question, I know this ride is to open back up next week. Any chance of this ride opening maybe a day early for test runs?!

It's not unheard of. There likely will not be fast passes on that day however.

 

[djkidkaz]

Any word on fixed effects?

 

[Dr.GrantSeeker]

They need to fix the pterodactyl that flies at you.

I am not sure how true this is, but I was under the impression that the pterodactyl and other series of flying dinosaurs that all moved were shut down by OSHA. Like I said not sure if its true or why that would be the case though. I wouldn't count on them functioning again.

Man would I kill for the preshow to be like Stitch or HM.

 

[CanadianGordon]

I love Dinosaurs, and really enjoyed this ride when I rode it last year. Hopefully it gets some care and love for the big anniversary.

In what way?

You guys do realize that for a first time rider, this ride is scary AF... (I'm in the far top right) Look at everyones reactions on this attraction. This ride is frightening for first time guests.. It is one of Disney World's best thrill rides in my opinion. My friends made me take them on this ride 3 times in a row.

Fully agreed. My wife has actually ridden it plenty of times and still screams in terror at different points.

How much of a change from the previous ride is there?

I know Martin might have a better answer. But, I think it was many effects and a few AA's that stopped working...

The ride hasn't reopened yet.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

The ride hasn't reopened yet.

I'm thinking he was referring to what difference it was from the CTX era..
