Did someone say Osaka had a refurb like this? If so, I watched a video of the ride from this year and it seems like all of the dinos are the same, just a new coat of paint and smoother motion.

I would be so happy if we got new dinos, but I’m worried I’ll be let down.

I don't mind if some of the new dinos were static statues in the background of some of the areas, ( eating or sleeping ) just needs a little more.

Yeah, the Osaka refurbishment was exactly that. A refurbishment. I’m not expecting more than that, but would be pleasantly surprised if it’s plussed a bit.

I can see a situation where the dinos look more like the JW versions even if the ride is JP themed

I can't emphasize enough how much the ride needs this. If you haven't been on in a while, it isn't an understatement to say the current show quality is embarrassing. If the refurbishment brings everything back up to par (and hopefully includes some futureproofing so it never gets this bad again), I'll take that as a major win.

I wouldn't mind creating a new version of the queue video, but the unique footage shot with Richard Attenborough as Hammond has to remain as part of it.

The Japanese version has a new queue video. Can be found on Twitter. The fans were quite upset about it.

I just want to ride again without cringing at the existing status of the attraction. It's my favorite franchise, yet I feel like its a disservice to the films/IP at the moment.

Excited for this! Definitely won't happen with a refurbishment, but I'd love a nod to a dinosaur "in" the lagoon. Obviously, a Mosasaurus ala JWRA in USH isn't happening, but could we have a Spinosaurus sail fin somewhere in the lagoon, similar to the Jaws ride fin? Would be a good way to introduce the latest movie

There's a certain surreal magic to being told you need to go to Hadrosaur cove, having absolutely nothing pop up to change your trajectory, and veering off course into danger for no discernible reason anyway. Sad we'll be losing that bit of nightmare logic, but working AAs will be a good consolation.

I like the Jurassic World version of the ride fine, and I understand the problems it was solving for Hollywood (sightlines, no adjacent space to add a separate attraction to represent JW), but it's so much less elegant than the original. Changing the ending to that "Tyrannosaurus Kingdom" thing is the most egregious part, for me. The new dinos in that building are amazing, but I really miss the way moving "backstage" into the maintenance building reflects the heightened stakes of the ride's 2nd half. So as long as they don't do that, I'll be happy.
