Dinosaur has seen better days

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

Will Bob redo or just let it rot like Discovery Island and River Country?

D23.

Imo its the next ride to see the same end result like GMR did. Let the attraction rot provide basically no maintenance to save money. People still gonna ride & that entire area is next on chopping block for a complete redo.

That was Horizons, not GMR.

Rode today. The doors at the beginning aren't working. All three of the carnotaurus are stuck immobile, with the first one so bright you could see it was just only a partial figure. None of the effects in the finale/time travel back are working except a bit of smoke. My friends, who haven't ridden in years, were like "why is everything broken?" Honestly the ride should not operate when all three carnotaurus don't work. It's a big letdown.

Tell me you let guest relations know your displeasure?

@marni- honest question- does it really matter any more?

Honestly Disney does not care

Yes, that is my speculation as well. They've basically cleared out a lot of that land. When we rode Dinosaur (stupid name..Countdown to Extinction was much better) in June, the whole pre-show was axed. Many of the effects were not working. It was a weird experience. They likely have new plans for this area, which may be OK, except it could be years before anything happens.

Universal are about to shake Disney out of this complacency with Epic Universe.

I'm speaking with my wallet - for the first time I'm coming to Orlando and not visiting Disney. Suspect this will happen more and more.

I know people say it a lot, and I know Rama was specifically designed to be temporary, but I don't believe Dinoland is leaving.

My reasoning is mainly the games. They have to be a huge money maker. They're essentially selling plush toys the same size as the ones in the stores for 60 dollars at some of them. Or plush toys just slightly bigger than a Wishable for 30.

Plus they're evil geniuses and made them the only source of cute dinosaurs, so people are forced to gamble for them.

Edit: it would probably be more accurate to say that's A reason I don't think the land is leaving, among others, one being that plenty of other major rides are terribly maintained and yet continue existing.

That is really weird; it sounds like you must have been there during technical difficulties or something. The preshow is most definitely still there.

It's AK's version to Pixar Pier..No other parks has carnival games in their parks..Not even an arcade in MK..I do hope they bring some kind of arcade back to the TL Power and Light building fitting with the TRON vibe..

Everest has been (edit) closed since opening. Anyone with a DAK reservation received a note via MDE from the DAK president (?) apologizing for the closure.

@wdwmagic I can’t remember / didn’t read if it would be closed all day, but it has been closed since opening.
I didn’t think to screenshot the alert, but it popped up on opening the app this morning and doesn’t seem to be accessible anywhere else on the app.

Thanks! Yes those notices are usually push notifications and aren't available via any menu etc.

Makes sense! Sorry for the edits. My brain’s a little sun baked, so I wanted to make sure I got my story straight!

Sorry the coaster is closed. Please enjoy one of our other 5 attractions. I love me some AK, but it needs a few more rides in a bad way.

What's "Expedition Everst"?

What's "Expedition Everst"?

In caught that as well. I guess the other letter costs extra

Dinosaur was in good shape last week first thing in the morning , can’t speak for later In the day.

What's "Expedition Everst"?

A nondescript coaster themed like India or whatevr.

Looked like crap a few days ago. A few static dinos. Bug was a mess too. No Hopper and Flik was static.

My bike on Avatar was also not working well. The ‘breathing’ was just roughly slapping my calf/thigh, haha.
