Obviously with pandemic money is tighter than ever but man do some of the animatronics on this ride need some help and plain old maintenance. It really hurts to see them in rough shape as I’m such a huge JP fan. I think the theming, environments, and music on this ride don’t get enough credit for how great they are. It’s just a shame most of the dinosaurs look so rough. I was recently watching old videos on YouTube of this ride and of ET and it made me come to a realization of a major downside with AA’s we never talk about. The thing is we all prefer them to screens because they look real but when AA’s get older they get the shakes, move super slow or don’t move at all, and ultimately end up looking fake and lifeless And probably worse than a screen. Watching the old videos of ET it’s amazing how fluid, fast, and smooth some of the AA’s move, especially the final one that says your name. On the JPRA the parasaurolophus that knocks you off course used to lunge really high and fast out of the water. In recent years his head just popped up slow. Now he is just stuck in the up position looking petrified. The ultrasaur used to swing up and around smoothly. Now his neck just moves up and down with slow shaky motion. Has there ever been a ride where an AA has been restored to its original working glory? Why is it so hard to keep them working on their original state? It’s really a downside nobody seems to talk about with AA’s. I love them as much as the next person but it’s sad knowing most of them have a relatively short life of working how they were intended.
