Do we know for sure what happened to the T-Rex, though? I know there were rumors it was accidentally irreparably damaged while trying to remove it but I don’t remember ever hearing confirmation. I was holding out hope they could fix it and it could return someday. That’s been at the resort since...

Haha very good point.

I suppose. But then the question is “why was there a gyrosphere in the I-Rex paddock?” I don’t mean to nitpick. Again, this visual cue is VERY cool and obviously Predator Cove needed SOMETHING. It just seems like they put it there like, “remember this?! It’s from the movie.” It’s a little hard...

Yeah I mean I love having more visual ties from the movies but it makes zero sense that a Gyrosphere would be in this specific location. Like, how did that get there??

While I completely agree with your sentiment that the JP aesthetic is far superior to the JW decor, I think the idea of keeping the land a mishmash of Jurassic then and now was wishful thinking on a lot of our parts. Sure, the general public probably doesn’t really care if it’s “World” or “Park”...

Real talk, I miss all the OG attractions desperately but I know it’s WAY off topic and as an infrequent poster, I know that it’s best I redirect it back to HOLY CRAP Jurassic is getting the love its long since deserved. I just hope my heart can handle this beast once I visit next. This coaster...

Hey, I love your optimism but if I could briefly get off topic, I never imagined a world where they’d close Jaws. I thought it was uni’s POTC or, let’s be honest, JRC. Once that went, all hands were off. But yes, Dino’s are legendary and historic and I’m glad to see Universal knows it’s their...

As somebody who enjoys the JW movies but prefers the OG aesthetic, I’m just glad Jurassic is in Universal Parks’ future. Without these new movies, this land would be on the chopping block like so many other classic universal rides/lands. I’m just hoping they take today and apply it to yesterday...

Daily reader, occasional poster.... I know the rebrand debate has been ongoing for several years and the seemingly general consensus is that they could have elements be JW within a land called JP, but today’s developments has me thinking this will be a slow, deliberate rebrand. Maybe they don’t...

I know Disney technically did it with Star Tours, but is this the first time a ride based on a movie is replaced by a ride based on a sequel to that same movie? I certainly don’t think Universal has ever done it. Anyway, can’t wait for soft POV’s. I have no self control and live in Brooklyn and...

Every single time I check the app, it isn't operating. I understand it’s the first few weeks of operation, there’s been weather delays etc. but the fact that it’s never operating when I just casually check in a few times a day is alarming. I’m not planning on visiting any time soon, just curious...

Yeah, they’re definitely going for star power and general public brand recognition over in-universe logic. It made sense that Hammond was in the queue video for Jurassic Park, rather than, say, Grant. I love Owen, but what does he know about the Mosasaur? Don’t mean to complain or nitpick, it’s...

Anyone know what Universal did with the Goblet of Fire and Tri-Wizard cup prop replicas from DC? I don’t remember seeing them displayed at Williams of Hollywood at USF...

After listening to the ambient noises some more, I picked up on something I totally missed the first time.....it’s not just cicada’s and other bugs we’re hearing, but also the occasionally bellow of a Brachiosaurus. My god, who ever thought to include that deserves a medal. Orlando used to have...

Correct me if I’m mistaken, but from the audio in that video it would appear they’ve replaced John Williams’ iconic music with ambient jungle noise. On the one hand, I’m sad to hear the music is gone, but the jungle noises wonderfully add to the ambience. It’s EXACTLY what Jurassic Park/World...

:drool: Wow. The inclusion of the mural and the sign on the show building is so visually striking that it’s hard to believe they never thought of something similar when the gigantic structure was going up 25 years ago. So much empty, wasted space is now filled in beautifully. Plus, I prefer the...

Entertainment Weekly just announced that Chris, Bryce and BD are officially confirmed for the ride. Likely for the queue videos, I’d imagine.

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.

You could be right. I’d always assumed it was the same one from the Studios, but I have no clue what materials it was made with and who knows if something like that could survive 25+ years in the Florida heat.

That would be such a shame. That photo op has been a staple of universal since back when it was in the boneyard at the Studios in ‘93.
