Happy to have scored a preview for my daughter and I next week, really excited for this.
Someone who has (supposedly) ridden it is answering questions on this Reddit thread:
‘It was great! A lot faster than I expected it to be, you don't really get a ton of time to appreciate the set pieces/show scenes. I think it is one of the better coasters I've ever been on, and I suspect it'll become a favorite for most. The show scenes are static raptors and very detailed rock work. I did get a tour of the entire queue, I thought it was great, and there are two sections that will definitely become photo/video spots for guests. The plot is you are running with the raptors, that's pretty much it. I was able to ride because of my job.’

Sounds like there's something in the queue that moves. The first scene on the ride is screens.

:ack:
I guess it’s no big deal, really. There’s precedent for a JW/JP coaster without animatronics. I’m a bit let down because of how amazing the Blue AA looks at USH and how good Hagrid turned out.

Same here, we will miss the 10th by six days. Hoping for some consistent softs or rehearsals in late May. All we ask is to ride it one time. We only get to Universal once every three years or so (traveling from MO :down: )
When you’re flying past at 40mph, does it really matter?
Just add some disco lights.

I was more curious as to whether or not there’d be a raptor AA prior to the launch.

Oh!...so there is a raptor AA in the queue? Guess I misunderstood. I took “something that moves” as a raptor crate or bushes or something - not a full on Blue AA.

It's the caged raptors. There's footage of them in the teaser video from a few weeks ago.
