I assume it was a mix of funding issues, unsureness about possible expansion in the form of rides and wanting to wait until the new movie came out.

Yea, we need to remember the funding floodgates only got opened 4-5ish years ago. Entertainment was probably fighting for this for a long time

I'm kinda sad...I'm watching the periscope feeds for this and its not as interactive as the one in Singapore which was 20 times scarier...they really tamed it down...like there is no snapping at the guests like she is bout to attack

I don't believe they are performing the entire show yet. They have just opened for photo ops.

Nice addition to Jurassic Park, which needs more experiences outside of River Adventure and Camp Jurassic. I doubt it's something I'll take much interest in personally outside of going to check it out in person once, but I've always thought that Jurassic Park took up too much land considering the lack of attractions inside it.

okay I have been corrected. Still not as scary as Singapore but just even more so interactive with the range of motion this environment and set up allows the puppeteer.

This looks awesome! Great addition. I would love too see things like this continue to be added to the parks. It adds so much depth to the experience you have while visiting.

Looks great! Can't wait to see it in person in a couple of weeks. Looks like another great M&G!

Just a thought. When I saw the Singapore video I marveled that the actor was able to snap so close to the trainer without hitting him. Even sniffing the lady was just so well executed on the part of the actor and I thought wow... how does he do that so well?

Orlando has had only 3 days in those outfits so they are going to go easy at first before they are able to crank up the danger level and close calls.

Meanwhile, I am going to investigate how that thing works and how it cues audio so well... and I probably won't be able to tell you once I find out.

Couple of people have tweeted at me that these new Universal Raptors are the exact same molds as that open body raptor suit they used at Animal Kingdom... Considering one is a puppet and one is a suit I find that highly unlikely they came from the same company. I will say the face looks very close but then again they are modeling it after the Jurassic Park Movie Raptors so yeah the face is gonna look almost identical lol. Just food for thought on another amazing Universal Expansion!

Hate, the method of how the puppet is on the performer is very similar, it is NOT the same. I imagine the puppeteer has manual controls for the neck and face that he controls using his arms. The puppeteer then can use their core strength to move the unit up and down. Compare this to the DAK model which was just a walk around 'suit'. Until Michael Curry designs uploads the photos I assume based on the firms use in Singapore's JP that they did these puppets too.

Frig... they did let people look over the edge today and see the actor... just what you and me didn't want to see happen. A photo was just posted on twitter, BY ORLANDO UNITED. I won't post it cause it would hurt too much.

The movement of the raptor looks terrific, and the sound design of the experience appears to be absolutely top notch and scary. The actual look of the raptor, however, is a bit of a mixed bag, I think. It looks fine in that official video Universal put out, but some of the pictures floating around have not been terribly flattering. It appears to be a minor step down from the Singapore raptor; this Orlando counterpart is ever so slightly more cartoonish. Something about the coloration and the arms.

All things considered, though, this looks like a really cool addition to Jurassic Park, and maybe if it's successful, we can get another couple dino encounters (whether meet-and-greets or actual, continuously operating paddock displays) scattered throughout the land.

It's a test. They'll get the kinks worked out.
