Jurassic Park Refurbishment

I can't comment, because I never saw it, but maybe it used to bring out the baby triceratops handler?

I love the idea of a steel crate on back with noises coming out of it and then it stops and the guides get out and show pictures to guests of what they are hauling.

I was thinking the same thing. In a child's mindset, it would be beyond amazing to think that a real dinosaur was being escorted before your very eyes.

Chills ensue.

We have to hope that Jurassic Park 3-D does good business next summer. Make Universal realize how much people love the property and expand the Island.

And here is another that I had never seen before:

 

[Cecilia]

Wow. No kidding. Me thinks these are things that Uni got rid of during the cutbacks.

Not too long ago Tiff sprung a leak. Hydraulic fluid all over innocent guests. Oh Tiff.

The thing just got a refurb!

 

[frenzy88]

This was within a month or so

 

[Andy]

I thought that happened with 2 or 3 days of it coming out of a refurb when Tiff got a total overhaul? Or am I thinking of something else?

Hard for me to say, I havent worked on IOA side for a few months now, but it was early summer.

If I can ask is Tiff the baby triceratops? Or is Tiff something else?

Tiff is Tiffany, which is the name of the T-Rex on Jurassic Park: River Adventure, before the final drop.

 

[Teebin]

So, the T-Rex actually blew a hose and shot hydraulic fluid onto guests? That is horridly dangerous. Did it make the news at the time? I don't recall.

I didn't ever see a news article but I know the unlucky TM who was the first person told. The guest asked if it was some sick part of the ride. Like Dino snot or something.

The baby trikes that are carried through the park are named Sierra and Sahara.

Hope they comped very well!

 

[frenzy88]

Free clothes, lots of express, and free photos I believe.

^ which leads me to wonder, if they can make the scoops move quickly like monster beetles with linear actuators, why can't the use actuators on all animated figures... at least the big ones? Everyone ponder that and get back to me.

 

[violarum]

Indeed a wonder. I thought show was more important than capacity when given a choice.

Cost, reliability vs location? Inside a large AA or on a track with a vehicle garage and then just general ease of replacement or maintenance I would think.
