Early Dinosaur effects/footage from 1996 Good Morning America special

[HonorableMention]

I’m a pretty big fan of Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom, so I search around for info on the ride from time to time. I was reading an old thread mentioning a Good Morning America special where the original finale meteorite was supposedly shown.

I found the video the poster was talking about and wanted to see if anyone had seen it. It shows some kind of meteorite effect, but I have no idea if it was the finale. It also showed some early animatronic footage from the ride, and the rest of the special touches on other attractions I believe.

The Dinosaur footage begins around the 8:50 mark.

That was the Disney I used to remember. That and the trips from the early 80s

@marni1971 's video covering the history of dinosaur shows some of the old effects. Watch his video when you get around to it! It's fascinating!
