It's been like that for a while now. What really annoys me is a guy who films a full ride through vertically.
Behind The Scenes of Jurassic Park The Ride - Home & Family Show - Universal Studios Hollywood:
That was a cool view of the drop at the end. I'll have to look for that catwalk/platform next time.
Minus the "Girl From Ipanema" playing at the abandoned workstation (track left, before the spitting dinosaur, before the lift into the show building). That's a looped track played off a Roland AR-100. Which is manually started and stopped each day.
They seldom start and stop it anymore. They leave it running continuously through the night, even when the ride is shut down. It's a very spooky thing to hear walking through there after-hours, only hearing a low bitrate snippet of "The Girl from Ipanema" playing through a single speaker.
It's the responsibility of a Technical Services employee to turn it off at night.
Considering Tech. Svcs doesn't even bother to do most things in terms of general upkeep of that ride (replacing light bulbs, repairing audio cues, fixing the fogging/misting effects), I think turning off "The Girl from Ipanema" is probably the least of their worries at this point. Hopefully the ride's next refurb later on in the year, in which most of these minor issues are supposed to be repaired, will motivate to them to do regular, preventative upkeep on the attraction and possibly fix the eternal "Girl from Ipanema" loop.
...probably...
...hopefully...
