When McDonalds dropped their sponsorship, they took the basic poster design and replaced the captions with the species names.

Good, that mural was looking really rough, I'm glad that it looks like they've decided to keep the "quaint museum" theme going though.
God Disney got me hype for this.

Supposedly the interactive Queue games concept left with Tom Staggs.

I see those glass cases and I'm all "guest proximity.. guest proximity.. guest proximity." I hope they have a CM stationed nearby with a vat of Windex.

What I find neat about this was during the time Mcdonald's sponsered this section of the park there was more to it for Chicagoans like myself as many of the Cast molds of the Skeletal Dino's were from The Field Museum.
Dino SUE AK Version
Original SUE at the Field Museum
Plus the Olden Gate Bridge is another Cast Mold of a Brachiosaurus from The museum.....
Same cast was also used for a display at United's Terminal 1 at O'hare
And the Original sits outside of the Museum..

I took at their ebay page but didn't see anything that struck me as being from the queue. What items did you see?

I like the ride, but just with the time-hop portion was better...now it feels like driving through a toaster oven and you are in a jungle...was never a convincing or even passable effect... Indy doesnt have a time hop component, but the temple entrance and doors is a much more compelling intro...

Perhaps they will use the projection mapping within the tunnels to make it look like we warped through the time barrier..

Cancelled Disney trip for a 2nd time, rescheduling for December. Guess I'm just gonna have to wait for Dinosaur.

Sue was actually partially prepped on-site at AK when the park first opened. The skeleton was a joint purchase that included Disney and the museum. In exchange, Disney was able to have the fossil prep lab where you could watch the fossils being worked on (roughly where Triceratop Spin is now), and get a copy of the complete skeleton when done.
I didn't realize Oldengate was a copy from Chicago, too.

Yep they have a plaque right under the bridge..
Plus with prep lab at AK there was one at The Field Museum as well with collaboration from McDonalds...Which is still being used to this day minus the sponsorship..
