He lunges with his head, His body is usually covered with fog to give a better illusion.

It wasn't build. Doing some basic calculations on the back of a napkin, Universal figured out that it would cause structural problems to the ride's concrete foundation if they were to build a massive T-rex that would swipe at guests with the power of a 747 taking off.

Well, we could always switch the discussion to why the Yeti only waves at you as you go by...

I've seen him lunge but a few times it seems as though it's not as exaggerated. I will say though that the lighting has changed. Sometimes he's not so well lit and other times he's very well lit.

Also confirming that it does lunge it's head down at you just as your boat begins to drop. I have only seen this *not* working a handful of times.

The main thing I noticed was them telling the guy to put his camera away 6 seconds before the drop! :lol:

I think the Hollywood version of the ride is much better, especially the end, where the T-Rex flips out of the waterfall at you.
It may not be realistic, but when seen in person it's very startling.
Go to 4:30 and watch from there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi6WZTK1nRk
...or watch the whole thing to see the awesome"falling land rover" effect at 3:10

Except the timing on the dino that pops up out of the water was horrible. It's supposed to look like they've come up out of water right next to you and bumped you off-course away from your intended destination of Hadrosaur Cove.

The Hollywood version is a bit better overall.

The jeep falling instead of the raptor box is so much better....
Anyone now why Florida didn't get the jeep?

I think the jeep looks SUPER fake. It falls too slowly and the cables attached to it really take away any element of danger.

plus, you can see the "track" that the jeep runs down the wall on. The jeep effect is the only thing about the Hollywood Version that is less impressive.
Actually no, I take that back. IoA's has a MUCH better queue and loading area and, of course, it's own themed land surrounding it.
