Dinosaur has seen better days

[Gran Fiesta]

Just got off Dinosaur and I’m happy to report nearly everything was working including all 4 carnos. Only notable things broken were the raptor’s mouth (rest of the figure was fine) and the sauropod’s burp/roar sound effect didn’t play.

I know maintenance costs for this attraction are high and I might be coping but it would be a mistake to close this gem of a ride.

Awesome! Just in time for our trip next week. Dinosaur is one of my favorite rides and I was really not looking forward to seeing it in bad shape. So this is amazing news and now I can't wait to ride it.

Sauropods roar/burp was working yesterday.

Weirdly it’s still missing the hydraulic hiss that I think I have always heard which is odd as I always thought it was a “feature” as opposed to a fault.

It's so sad to see the attraction in the state it is. I rode the brilliant Indy at DLR yesterday and for a ride that's roughly the same age, using the exact same ride system, the difference between the current state of them both is staggering

Sadly without Dr. Seeker saying " Whoops!" Going over his tail it's an odd quiet moment in the ride..

I never knew he was saying "whoops!" about the tail until it was gone. I had thought he was saying "whoops!" about the burp.

Yep,it's the sauropod's tail as you go over it due to that..Here's a timestamp to what I mean..

Indy just had a 4 month refurb. Dinosaur hasn't had a refurb since 2016/17

Let alone a "Good" one....

So I just got off the ride. It was more intense than it has been in 10+ years. Almost every dino besides longneck had full movement. The only effect I motivated that was missing was the green laser at the start. Really, the ride was a blast again.

 

[JustInTime]

Rode it again. They have had to have to turned up the intensity. I was holding on for my dear life.

Dinosaur lives!

Still needs an overlay. New show building, new queue, new pre ride video, etc

The ride itself is still very good.

 

[CanadianGordon]

I'm glad to hear it's working again.

 

[jannerUK]

So JustInTime until recently the intensity wasn't there. My party all were really shook up how bumpy and jolty the ride was. I assured them that they must have increased it. Had they toned it down over the past years then?

I think its good as is if working properly. But I'm sure an IP overlay is coming.

It seems like all figures and effects are very inconsistent.

Yes! They toned it down years and years ago. It’s definitely cranked back up. I was so proud to see. I just hope it’s not the ride’s swan song.

I've probably ridden Dinosaur 100 times and never knew you were supposed to be going over its tail!

Going to DAK on Tuesday, I'm definitely going to see how things look now. If things are fixed, I'm curious as to what they did to get back in shape so quickly.... & why that wasn't done before.

I believe executives have been seen riding it. Maybe making final decisions? Just a wild guess.
