Dinosaur has a reputation for being one of the loudest attractions. I don't have the same complaints as others there, but I've heard that complaint from multiple independent of one another.
Many of the "broken" effects were effects that were turned off shortly after the attraction opened. This included things like the swooping pteradactyl, the jumping compsognathus, and many more that I'm sure @marni1971 or @Alektronic can probably cite.

I did not notice any of that and I ride it several times a year... I guess I don't pay enough attention...
Is there any video of the jumping compsognathus?
The first time I rode it was during a resort guest preview in early April of 1998. I rode it about a dozen times that day without having to unbuckle my seat belt.I did not notice any of that and I ride it several times a year... I guess I don't pay enough attention...
There have been several discussions about the dire state of the attraction.... Like Steve said, if I may, have a look here:

If it wasn't loud it wouldn't be as exciting. Didn't notice anything broken last trip, but then again I'm not riding it "looking for broken things" either.

Usually if anything isn't working, it tends to be the one dino that's eating another. There's usually some movement there with the bigger dino's head moving up and down, but in the instances when I've noticed something wasn't working right, it was typically that.

It's the perfect audio level, it sounds exactly as one would expect a harrowing situation to sound. Unfortunately it's complainers who got it turned down a few months ago, and now it's not nearly as exciting. It's always been well withing the legal decibel limit.
You don't have to look. The problems are well known.

When we rode in October -- for the first and only time ever -- the Alioramus, one of the first dinosaurs you see (the one that has a half-swallowed dino in its mouth) was totally immobile. It looked ridiculous: everything else around it had some sort of movement, and the Alioramus and its prey were standing there, the best-lighted pieces in that scene and clearly meant to be a centerpiece, not moving a muscle. Even though we'd never ridden before, it was obvious that it was supposed to be DOING something, but wasn't. It made a pretty lackluster first impression.
I should add that we were in the very first row of the very fist vehicle to pass through the attraction that day, so clearly it had been broken since at least the day before, and nobody was bothering to fix it.
