Dinosaur has seen better days

This ride must have the coolest maintenance area on property if they have extra raptors sitting around.
I have hope the alioramus will be back. I don't really see how they would benefit from throwing him out. I know out of all the dinosaurs in that scene he looks the worst when he's broken, but the static raptors aren't exactly an upgrade on that front, and the miss matched narration just hammers that home.
It's cool they put that much effort into the B-mode, though. I wonder if they would do the same for the styracosaurus or hadrosaur. Maybe we'll see...
I saw that! I had no idea he moved like that.
When I saw it, though, the ride was breaking down a ton, which was odd since Dinosaur is normally very reliable. I was wondering if maybe they were related somehow, but I don't know if that would actually make sense from the perspective of someone who knows better.
(I was soooo close to getting evacuated off Dinosaur that day, I was so ticked.)

The carnotaurus was fully functional last month.

I have a feeling before they shut this ride down, all we'll have left is just cast members throughout the ride with those rubber dino puppets roaring at us

I have an idea, why don’t we hijack one of the time rovers and go get those missing dinos back?

It's odd they don't have the ability to turn off that one piece of audio like they did when the Time Rover Goes over the Saurpod's tail as Dr. Seeker doesn't say "Whoops" when it happens anymore..

I believe the raptors are the b-mode for any of the major non-carnotaurus animatronics. I saw a video years ago (sadly was deleted and I didn’t grab a screenshot) where there was a raptor in place of the styracosaurus. But more often than not I think they just let the dinos stay motionless instead of removing them.
Besides the static carno head, the only other b-mode I have heard of is a scrim for the photo carno with a photo/painting of the animatronic, presumably for if there are 2 carnos down and the static head is in use. That one has never been seen though and could just be a message board legend.

Saw on Twitter that the chasing Carnotaurus is chasing again, but I can't find a video. But they also added some (new?) effects back to the Time Tunnel:

That effect was never believable or particularly effective... Seems like jumping back in tome would be more fantastic then some smoke and red light then someone saying "Ok, we're in!" In what? we just floated through a puff of smoke and a bank of heat lamps... lol It should have been something more jarring and dramatic... But now with the temple it should work a whole lot better... While I think Mystic Point would have been better, This will be a nice addition....

It’s financially responsible to keep all attractions operating correctly for as long as they are open. Guests are paying to experience Disney quality.

Spending a ton of money on an attraction set to close in the next few months isn't financially responsible. I'm not saying I'm not happy they did this. I am! I just believe this was an act of love for the attraction more than a desire for good show in all their attractions.

It should have been fixed as soon as it broke, not left until a few months before it closes.

Agreed.
My very last ride on Splash had me wishing I hadn’t.
So many effects were not working and it was a let down. Now, when I think of that ride, I see the broken bees
in my mind and remember the disappointment.

Exactly. This is a microcosm of why Disney currently has brand issues. They are fine letting lackluster be witnessed by millions in various ways.
The time Tunnel effects are not even close to the original. Nice effort though...
but the doors are not even working which helps the sensory overload and drama.
