I was at universal a few minutes ago, and yes, it is open indeed.
It's called once again "Triceratops Discovery Trail", not "triceratops Encounter", by the way. And not all the areas are open yet. The real queue still needs some work.
I will post pictures and videos later.

I didn't want to say this, but for once, I was right!! 
No, it's not... yet. And the team member told me it's going to be open all week long, even though I think (AND HOPE) that it will remain open as all the other attractions now!!

That is a very smart rename. Plays down expectations that guests invariably get into their heads. Interesting too that the name "Triceratops" has since been scientifically questioned.

yeah blah blah that is science and what this is, is science fictiion/theme park entertainment. Another note that no one ever wants to mention for the same reasons is that the dinos we see and mention so much in association with Chriton and Spielberg's Jurassic Park would not actually be from that time period according to science.
It is not a renaming it was the name of the attraction near the end and that is what it has come back as. As of right now it is just the trail and seeing everything there at your own pace with no set vet shows starting and ending. It is just the actors doing a looping routine to entertain guests for as long as they want to hang out there.
I am just happy it is back.
Wow interesting stuff, and I was actually at the museum of natural history up in New York yesterday, if knew this I would have looked at it more closely
So have they returned the entrance sign letters and taken off the definition of triceratops plate on top of them?
Unfortunately, the name and definition are still there... the new sign"looks" temporary, unfortunately. It's placed in front of the old sign.
Thanks. Great pics Samule!
Now, all we need is for the island tours to reopen, and I'm good!
That won't happen unless they remove the temporary bridge or move the dock in JP somewhere else. Either one is fine by me! I'd love to have Skipper Tours back.
