Completely agree! This ride need some love. The dinosaurs need a lot of work! Hopefully once avatar opens it will get a refurb!
Pretty sure this ride hasn't had a good refurb since it closed to change its name to Dinosaur, which was back in 2000. Not exactly sure on this though!
Like 15 years.I think they have been taking the time to fix the effects.
On a Jurassic time scale, that's merely an instant.
Sorry, I meant just added in, not as in a refurb. I just remember a thread a few months back. I thought that it looked pretty different but it probably was the video as you said. Seems like that happened with Little Mermaid too.
I guess brown dye and turning off a couple of lights would break the bank over at IOA.
That's also true. Both Dino rides definitely have major issues. What kills me, though, is how easy the two JP issues should be to fix. That T-Rex is an AMAZING animatronic, but they just don't light it correctly.Disney's version also has the advantage of moving past the AAs very fast so it seems like the AAs are more intense than what they actually are. Whereas Uni has slow moving boats and the dinos are just kinda awkwardly "attacking" you by standing perfectly still and moving their arms and head up and down
As much as I love Uni, JP is in horrible condition. Was excited for it on my first trip and it ended up being a big disappointment. Not only does the T-Rex scene have horrible lighting, so does the rest of the ride. The long ramp you go up is so dark that you can only make out shadows of the animatronics. The T-Rex itself was in awful looking shape when I went. I know Uni isn't fantastic in the animatronics department, but videos had made it look better. So herky-jerky that you could almost see the mechanics.
