I completely agree.
We do it a couple of times every trip, and we're a bit older than the typical tourist. My GF spent about an hour just on the footprints last trip, making them roar. A fun time had by all. This is a perfect example of why we take our time in the parks & enjoy the ambiance. The people who run through the parks from ride to ride, calling them half day parks, often miss all this great stuff.
Owen, Pratt's character, considers himself the Alpha. That's why he jumped to 'B'lue.. but who knows, perhaps there was another as well.
I've been trying to figure out what the hell a half day park is for past few years and through several forums. Time is so subjective and we as people tend to rush it instead of enjoy it. No such thing as a half day park if you take the whole day to enjoy it;s offerings. Sure you wont be interested in everything but people tend to get a map and still mis-read it.

Pictures from my visit today! Raptor area looks pretty much done, except for some landscaping work as far as I could see.
I noticed the electric fence's indicator lights are Jurassic World dark blue, (and not the original JP red/green/blue)
Through the fence I could see a metal wall that looks like the raptor containment boxes
Also I noticed the DinoStore gift shop in the Discovery Center has gotten lots of Jurassic World toys. You can also find some select Jurassic World candies in various gift shops throughout both parks.
So it seems Jurassic World has at least some presence in the parks. I'm hoping they bring in some vehicles and maybe a Gyro Sphere for photo ops after the film opens as well! More pictures on my blog, as usual.

^ That gate must have been taken from the left side (if facing the area). I believe those palms behind the new fence work still need to be pulled out so that you can see the old containment fence in the background... or at least I thought that was the plan.
As ever, great pics Alicia!

Thanks!
Yes, the gate/fence pic was taken on the far left side. It looks like lots of landscaping work was going on while I was there so a lot could still change on that front.
Thanks for the pics!
I wonder if the meet and greet will only feature one Raptor, Blue, but the others will always be obscured in the containment crates with minimal movement/animation. It would be a neat way to feature the whole squad while still staying within a realistic budget of a smaller scope project like this.

I don't believe there will be anything like that so you might want to lower your expectations quite a bit. It should be a highly enjoyable show regardless.
Weird, when I heard about this ages ago I heard it would be all the Raptors. Maybe that person was mistaken. Meh.
I'm sure it will be cool, but I can't help but feel JP keeps getting the short end of the stick.
I think this M&G is a fantastic idea, can't wait to meet a raptor...probably the closest any of us will ever get to a real dino (That, and JPRA).
This is so awesome I can't believe my eyes. This is how you do meet and greets, ACTUAL interactions with the characters with a fun space around it. This is gonna be a smash hit and it's awesome universal is taking the time to do this just cause. Amazingness
So, will they ever do anything about the JP side of the Harry Potter show building? I would kill for something to be put up that is themed to hide it and add to the visual experience.
Maybe some scaled JP style mountains?
(They can always keep them from clashing with HP by giving a reverse side a rockier appearance.

Entertainment is excited for this coming week and the special packages that are due to arrive.
