Thanks!
I just noticed something...
That gate in the first picture is NOT the same gate as in the second. They changed it! I never noticed that. I wonder why? And when? Both pictures are pretty old.

I wanted to edit my above post again but it wouldn't let me lol. So double posting it is!
It appears that the gate that was in the first picture of my new set (during construction) was definitely a stand-in gate, that actually much more closely resembles that of the one in the movie (although I don't think it actually is the real one). Not only are the details on the gate very similiar, but even the lettering of "Jurassic Park" is exact:
As you can see in the below pic, they changed the gate to the one we have always had ever since the ride actually opened at the premiere. The lettering for "Jurassic Park" is different, and they use a completely different rock-like texture on the entire gate.
I can't believe I never realized this before! I really do wonder why they changed it?

Does anyone think the ride will get some updates for Jurassic World? The movie is going to be based on the theme park from the first movie, but 22 years later.

I sure hope not. I'm hoping JW will be good, but don't rename the ride. By all means upgrade it but keep it Jurassic Park themed.
I only hope JW will breathe fresh air into the franchise for a new generation. I am not liking the hybrid dinosaur talk. I don't mind props and elements from the film in the queue or out front, but keep the ride original. And show it some love!
The ride was working very well last week, all except the Jeep.

If they change a thing other than fixing the dinos I will lead a one man riot and chain myself to the dispatch.
All seriousness though, as expensive as that ride would be to overhaul, I doubt they will re theme it. And I sincerely hope they don't. Perhaps we'll see a summer tie in as they did with the previous two films.
And that damn Jeep is so much trouble to maintain but I love it so...
I wish they would fix the electrical firing in the raptor pen fence to make the zapping effect work again...it was so engaging.

Double sided coin: Nice way to advertise the film to have those logos out and just for the summer renameing it
Jurassic World and to have whoever runs Jurassic world narrate but the fans of the ride would flip. For me, I'd be
fine with a Summer retheme but no major changes.
