It's sad that they can't keep up with operational updates. I was there in Sept with my friends who had never been there and the Yetti wasn't working neither was allot of the things in CTX including the charging Dino at the end. It's sad because that was probably there one trip to Disney and I feel like they have been cheated. Shouldn't problems like that fall under regular maintenance?? If Dumbo breaks down they fix it, If TSM breaks down they fix it!! You shouldn't be able to go on a ride that is not 100% (or at least 95%) All of these problems should fall under operational maintenance. This is Disney not six flags they need to go above and beyond. And maybe if they had a 100% or no ride rule things would get taken care of better, It may take some time to get everything on track in the beginning but after learning to fix things when they break and constantly improving things so that they break less. If you had a 100% or no ride rule what would be closed right now.... Or perhaps better asked is what would be open????

I'll bet it's up and running in the first quarter of 2009. :animwink:

Who says we start a petition!!??:lol::animwink:
The Iguanodon laser was meant to be a laser `net` - that`s how you manage to bring him back to present day. A crucial part of the storyline and hardly any guest can understand it.... grrrr....
Do a quick thread search for pics I`ve posted of both laser portals and also the mechanics of the (non) moving AAs :wave:

Most people blame Phil Holmes for the short comings in the other parks with regards to maintenance and such. How come Joe Rohde hasn't been blamed at least in part for things like the failed effects in Dinosaur, The broken yeti, and the abomination known as Dinorama? Is he free of blame there?

Phil is only involved with MK.
Joe is the head of creative for AK, he doesn't create the effects or maintain them. He tells the engineers what to do and they design it. The yeti's problem is an engineering flaw. Dinosaur's broken effects are because they won't pay to fix them, except the pteradactyl. That's another engineering blunder.
Dino-rama...I'm not touching Dino-rama with a 10 foot poll.

I actually prefer to keep it at a distance of a 20 foot stick.

I thought Phil was involved in MK, DHS and EP

Nope Phil is only MK. And he's not Imagineering.

If you want to blame someone because of the bad maintenance and other Engineering problems. Try these 2 guys. Jeff Vahle and Trevor Larsen. They were in charge of Engineering Services for AK when it first opened and now they have been promoted and they are in charge of maintenance of the all the parks now.

If you're looking for threads about Dinosaur and its effects, here are a few old threads:

(This contained a link to Martin's video, but it's out-dated)
In looking through the various threads, it's interesting to note that we're still talking about almost all of the missing/broken effects we were talking about 3 years ago... (Though one or two have returned, like the entry tunnel smoke)

That's funny (not really...) that the trainer I had when I was working Dinosaur (Spring of this year) said that all the effects were up and running..., yet from everything that I've learned on this thread, at least 3 were down...when we went on a ride-through, the green laser box at the end, the compies and the pteradactyl were all not working. But I'm guessing it's possible that even he didn't know about them if they've been down for a while...:shrug:
