Dinosaur has seen better days

No chance. They would just expand the existing land’s footprint. There’s a massive amount of easily accessible space before even considering the harder-to-reach spots.

As of the 11th
-Beginning time tunnel still all messed up. Sound, lighting, fog all missing elements. Vortex completely off.
-Styracosaurus not moving
-2nd Carno sled still in full forward position with animation. No running.
-3rd Carno still b-mode head on stick. Lighting was correct for b-mode.

GREAT NEWS! IT GOT WORSE!
No running, b-mode, broken triceratops, broken final drop Dino, broken vortex (though some fog was present).

How was the final drop carnotourus broken?

He must have been out on break.

Literally the only motion it has is moving forwards so I assume its just sitting there. I wish they would restore the original climax and put the meteor back in its place.
I thought that was very effective the one time I rode it as CTE.
Didn’t move. Was in its final position as we got to the scene and was fully illuminated the whole time.

Here's some great footage from a breakdown with a good look at the 3rd carno scene in it's current state with the lights on.

Just rode today, almost all of the issues have been fixed, including the raptor and the 3rd carno (it’s in limited motion, but its head is fixed and dino on a stick is gone). The only issues remaining that I noticed are the second carno isn’t moving forward towards the vehicle, and the final carno head is also not moving towards the vehicle. Other than that, it seems most of the issues have been addressed.

I think Dinosaur is more painful for me the Space Mountain with my back problems. I chalk that up to knowing how to "ride" Arrow Coasters (the Demon is another example). However, there's no way to learn how to ride Dino, it's just a bumpy mess.

So if it’s getting love- I Guess it’s sticking around as Dino…

Given your name, I'm guessing you're referring to the Gurnee Demon? Yeah, the Arrows are rough! I regret having never gotten the chance to ride ShockWave at SF Great America (my home park), but I did just ride Viper at Magic Mountain last weekend and it actually felt really good, considering when it's from and who made it.

Yep! If you can ride Space Mountain, you can ride the Demon without injuries. They built it before they used computers so the corkscrews aren't smooth. You kind of have to lean into them though. The restraints are garbage tho, it's better to lean back against the seat.

I have to wonder how the SoCal Demon is compared to ours...

Don't have much of a chance left to find out! I think the CA Great America is kind of terrible compared to ours though, so it's not that great a loss, just the history of the place. At least the one we've got is staying put.
