Is the Cretaceous Trail only closed temporarily, or will it be permanent? One of my best memories from working there was after park close, leaving at the end of my shift, and walking through the Trail with the dinosaur audio still playing and an empty park...it was very cool.

Probably just re-decorating the meet and greets ...

OK, people... when you get that impromptu survey by the CM as you're leaving, please, please STOP SAYING you'd like to see more Meet 'n' Greets...

That is one of my favorite places in the whole park too. Not only is it very cool after dark, but it is also a great, quiet place to take a break during those hot summer days!

They still missed a good opportunity to bring Henson's Dinosaurs to that area..They fit the theming better even if the show isn't relevant anymore..

Perhaps. I also never understood why Lucky did not become a more permanent presence (even if just seasonally):

It's a shame Lucky isn't out and about. A missed opportunity.

Probably due to crowds within that area is fairly tight and it's hard to corral guests..

I never knew this trail existed, I hope it's still there, I would love to explore it this summer!

NOT THE MAMA!!!!!!
what a great show.. that is largely forgotten...
Only thing I remember was a hidden baby Sinclair in the Osborne lights

Is this a permanent takeover of Dinoland by Donald? Or just for the summer?

I never realized it was a “trail,” I always just thought it was the long way to get to the Dinosaur ride.

NOT THE MAMA!!!!!!

Bit of trivia: John Kennedy was the secondary puppeteer for several characters in "Dinosaurs" although primarily Baby. Just before working for Henson full-time, he worked in the (then) Disney/MGM entertainment department. Notably for the locally performed drug-prevention puppet show, "The Disney Crew."

Lucky was a prototype that was never intended to be permanent. Being a prototype, he was prone to breakdowns and would fail to make scheduled appearances in the parks.

I'm adding it to my list!!

Yeah, I didn’t know this existed either. Is this over by Dinosaur?

Do the trail at night. It's creepy.
