Please, for the love of god Universal, don't ruin your Jurassic Park land with any of this trash.

Welcome to IU!

To get a little bit on track with JP at Islands, how is the shape of River Adventure for Orlando? Hollywood seems to be really, really, really bad, with a lot of pieces gone or badly working.

JPRA seems to be in good shape. Regular refurbs help.

Almost every AA in River adventure is outdated. I think the only ones that are good are the stegosauruses, the Dilophasauruses, and the T-rex. The effect where you are supposed to feel stalked by raptors in the bushes doesn't have enough foliage so it just feels like machines moving branches. Universal has shown it has FANTASTIC AA technology with the raptor encounter, and it's extremely clear how outdated RA's AAs are when compared to RE. The scene where you enter the raptor area feels too calm and staged, there are only two really terrible AAs chewing on a shirt.

Love the ride, but it needs an update more than any other attraction at UOR IMO. Except maybe Ripsaw. Except maybe CitH. Except maybe E.T. Exce-

This may have already been stated, but I will bet there will be one of the gyrospheres sitting smashed in the jungle plants somewhere after the rebuild.

Not that your point isn’t still valid overall, but Raptor Encounter is not animatronic. It’s 100% puppeteer in a suit. Extremely effective, but entirely controlled by a person.

That Raptor scares small kids. Saw one kid being dragged by his parents to see the Raptor. When he get up to the Raptor he was so terrified he squirmed out of his parents arms. He ran behind the photographer, hugging the photographer for dear life.

Totally. Next time you meet the raptor, look behind the bushes at its legs. You’ll see the human’s legs just standing underneath, behind the fake raptor legs. It’s highly effective due to the staging, but wouldn’t work if it was just walking down the street.

And same guy did the raptor puppets as the new Pandora merch suit lol. Sometimes staging makes all the difference.

They have it walk around in Hollywood, right? I think it looks ok there.

Considering that USH actually has the Raptor Puppet's walking through street's, I would wager it could work, depending on how it's done.

I was referring to the way ours is designed, with separate legs that do not have the human legs inside the suit.

I feel like the Hollywood one looks less convincing, due to the legs not being bent like a real animal; looking too human like. Plus, the seams are more noticeable.

I'd honestly love for the static Spinosaurus head in the JP area to be replaced with the animatronic one from Universal Studios Japan.

That is amazing. Gives us an idea of how good the Jurassic Park River Adventure could be.
