^ But that tour was dreadful. Hard neck stops and bounces. To do that right would require the tech of TE x 15 Dinos and yet better. Prohibitive.

I would love something like this:

They did something like it for the Jurassic Park Institute Tour (skip to 7:30):

This raptor show/encounter/meet-and-great/whatever seems like a good step in the right direction, but if we're not to expect any additional rides in Jurassic Park (given the relative lack of space), I think the land - at the very least - could do with some more dinosaur exhibits scattered throughout it. Whether those take the form of experiences along the lines of this raptor puppet thing that's coming, or more along the lines of the old trike encounter, OR mini fenced-in paddocks that guests could stop and walk by at their leisure, the land could use more dinos, and it would be a decent compromise short of building another ride (which would be the preference in an ideal world).
I have meant to reply to your post. I had thought of this too, but I got all serious about it and began estimating for a true tangible photo-op including scuptures. I figured $200-300k. I sent it on to pals in the biz and they estimated that it would be $300-$500k if each dino was unique, which is the point in JW.
Isn't it amazing how much it costs to create movie and theme park perfection?
It's weird how everybody desperately wants a new JP ride even though the only story they could possibly use is the same one in JPA
Yeh, I don't see them going better on that. Sure it can use an update but ride and story wise it's just perfect.
Themed dining would be something I'd like to see. A underwater viewing dining location with huge screens where the Mosasaurus swims by or bumps into the glass. Combine it with real fish tanks and the thumping effect to see your drink ripple and I book a lunch or diner there.
That would be cool...almost like a gigantic screen with the projection effect used on HE
Thanks to a nameless birdy, I was able to create this for some of us who may have forgotten the exact paths of the original Triceratops Encounter. I hope some of you enjoy!

I did an overlay of the image Teebin posted a few pages back of where the show will be, over the outline of the site he just posted.
The yellow line (Backstage I believe?) was moved to follow the path, as they seemed to line up pretty well.
Dunno if this provides any new information or anything like that, but thought it would be an interesting visual.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the permits for it are only good until June 30th, so it should be done in June at some point.

Has 258D been torn down?

Wow, Thanks Teebin. This seems like a rather large chunk of land that could be used for something way more exciting. I feel like Jurassic Park is so underdeveloped. It's all trees, we need "weenies." I don't even think you can count the Discovery Center as a weenie or even relevant these days. Does anyone go downstairs? Do guests even know there is anything down there?
