I kinda agree the gates open reveal is cool but I remember riding during summer and super hot and there is no shade in the lagoon. Sun blasting your face as you look up at the anamatronics.
And a parking garage/Super Silly Fun Land.

Yeah, I’d love to see that outdoor area remain and instead be modified into something else, but if that’s the only place the Mosasaur can be, the tip of the head popping out of such a tiny body of water makes absolutely no sense. That would be like a piranha in a good fish bowl; no room to swim.I don't think you understand how much of a difference 40 extra feet is, even if it's just the upper body/head. It'd be like expecting this billboard of Jaws to actually be true...
Also, let's also not jump around to different topics. This is Jurassic World: The Ride talk.
I know this screen vs open lagoon thing has been going on for ages but we should reserve judgement until we see POV videos or when people here actually ride it

Not sure if serious...
Jaws was a 20-foot shark. The Mosasaurus is 60 feet...
Why does everyone asume that the ones that hate the idea of screens for the Mosasaur wanted an AA of a Mosasaur? I am on the camp of "stop with so many screens" but I am not saying I want a 120 feet AA of the Mosasaur. I am sayin that they should have replaced the old AAs and replace them with state of the art AAs brachiosauri. I know we must wait to pass judgement but I think that we are worried since the last attractions Universal opened were underwhelming. Jimmy Fallon, Skull Island, Fast and Furious, Dreamworks Theater have been let downs and we are afraid Universal ruined a classic attraction. Again... we need to wait but learning that an open space was traded for a room full of screens is kind of a let down
Well... there are some screens but if you turn them off you still have a ride. They are on the background and only add to the ambiance, but the ride is not dependant on them

You’re forgetting that Universal lacks space for that.eh.... no. That would never fly... guests ride a dinosaur themed ride to, you know... SEE the dinosaurs. If you had the big dumb aquatic dino just bumping the boat, that'd be very underwhelming... also very confusing without having seen said aquatic dino prior to said boat bumping...
I've said it before, I'll say it again. They should've just built a brand new ride based on JW, then fully restored the current ride to its former glory by this company that can conveniently provide them with all new upgraded dinos. They could've even added enhancements. Then we'd have TWO Jurassic themed rides resulting in a new land on the lower lot. JP/JW is a timeless franchise that both terrifies & enchants people of all ages. Universal should be capitalizing on it a lot more rather than just having a newly revamped ride & photo-op area.
What do you mean?? They have space for a different ride for each of the Jurassic movies O:You’re forgetting that Universal lacks space for that.

They filmed the trailer scene for The Lost World on top of that parking garage, so it’s related!!This isn't a major refurb of the ride that already existed though. This is a complete re-theme and re-imagining. I did NOT want them to just replace the mostly non functional animatronics with the same thing, just new. So many people here get so heated/annoyed/upset when things change but this needed changing and not just replacing. I have nostalgia as well, but I don't let my nostalgia ruin anything and everything new just because they replace something. Anyone saying that that first scene was completely immersive and incredible is kidding themselves at least partially. It was broken animatronics and insanely obstructed views, and was a mostly boring scene because of that. All I ever saw was the parking structure/super silly fun land. That would be like me being upset that they removed the falling jeep that literally never functioned anymore just because it was there originally.
Did they really?! I had no idea and I feel like I’ve watched every Jurassic bonus feature ever made lol! Do you know if there’s any footage/pics?They filmed the trailer scene for The Lost World on top of that parking garage, so it’s related!!
But I agree, it wasn’t nearly as immersive as Orlando’s, as far as sightlines are concerned.
While I've never been to USF or IOA I'm gonna have to disagree with Dreamworks Theater being a letdown. In my opinion I thought it had the best use of projection mapping I've seen in a while, both in the preshow and in the final scenes of the attraction. If they could do something like that, then I'm certain they could enhance the scenes inside the final building with projection mapping.Dreamworks Theater have been let downs and we are afraid Universal ruined a classic attraction.
