...I really have nothing positive to say about this. This is simply embarrassing.

Once again I'll say that TDO expects that "rubes with wristbands" will accept anything.
Five years from now we will be talking about this excuse-for-a-character as a high point.
One can only imagine what tragedies lie ahead.

We have to stop looking at this through the eyes of WDW as it was...

... this is WDW 2014, where suck is standard.

Forget about the days of Declining by Degrees.

This is Decline by Design.

Maybe disney hired a new batch of lawyers and this dinosaur is the way they are going to test them out. That tail us going to nail a kid right in the teeth one day, no matter how many CMs are standing around it. Do they have some kind of bizarre new lawyer hazing or what?

This is honestly one of the poorest displays of Imagineering and showmanship I've ever seen Disney put together (and I believe that's saying something). In no way does this look authentic. Maybe they were going for a, we searched movies from the early 1900's and used their design look, but this should embarrass every single Imagineer that's employed by Disney Parks.

Exposed straps and belt buckles, and the person moving it has a gigantic gut. Even that little kid in the Spider Man shirt thinks it's unbelievable and cheesy. This is a gigantic fail, albeit on a low level "attraction" (and I use that term loosely).

Just because it's a Disney Animated adaptation, doesn't necessarily mean it would have been good. Case in point- Chicken Little. I liked it, but many people point to that as one of the worst Disney films ever.

And you mention the Jungle Book, and yet that was just as much "inspired by" rather than "based on" as Frozen is to the Snow Queen. Remember, Walt's advice to the writers was "Do NOT read this book."

Holy crap, you like Chicken Little too? COMRADE!!!!!!

The leg thing is pretty common, but at least they could have put more effort into hiding them!

For example.

Looks to me like the DAK version is simply a test to gauge crown reaction, staging etc before they consider something more elaborate.

IMO.

Same Here I really liked it..Mark Dindal's Movie's are hilarious (Cats Don't Dance & Emperors New Groove)
But, what I find interesting is that Disney has Two of the Same character..

The 1943 Version

And the 2005 version

Not too unusual. They have two versions of Zeus- Fantasia and Hercules. Three if you count Marvel Comics. Also, two versions of King Arthur (Sword in the Stone and Gargoyles).

Even more Arthurs if you count the various live-action versions Disney has done.

I still think they should bring the Jim Henson Dinosaurs in Dinoland (Even if the show doesn't exist anymore)...It would make more sense than this mediocre thing..

About a year ago while roaming around Dinoland, I thought of the same idea. It would certainly make sense. Disney has had all the full seasons on Netflix for a while now so I wouldn't think too many people have forgotten about this series (since the vast majority have Netflix). It's a childhood favorite of mine, and even as an adult it's hilarious. (So much adult humor that at times I feel like I'm watching a PG version of Family Guy.. with Dinosaurs!) Wish Disney would rebrand/reboot it for the next generation.

That was supposed to be in keeping with the theme of "Chester & Hester's Cheesy Roadside Tourist Park".
They eventually toned down the nightmare fodder into more generic Barney-style characters, but most of the guests still didn't get it.

Too sweet, and very possible as a low-tech option. I'll keep my Magic 8-Ball ready, trusting in WDI's love of copying anything an amateur does on YouTube. :)

WHY did TDO discontinue Lucky the Dinosaur for WDW anyway?
Click to expand...

Lucky was a test bed out of WDI R&D. He wasn't intended to be permanent, but he ended up being popular and the various parks paid to have him out for a while. But he was basically a vanity project within R&D.
