If they were to do it, I would imagine it be like the Kilimanjaro Safari vehicles but on a track (and some dinos thrown around the area for good measure).

That's how I would see it as well. A more kid-friendly safari-type attraction.

Do any manufacturers make a large-scale outdoor busbar system? I think Zamperla and a few other companies make Route-66 type attractions for the little ones, but off the top of my head, I can't think of any. With the lack of success they've had with Trike and PF, they probably want to keep staffing to a minimum, i.e. driverless.

I imagine that it wouldn't be too hard to adapt the Test Track-like system. That's the best example I could think of.

I thought about them maybe putting into a big show building with jeeps and a test track like system and instantly was reminded of Dinosaur at AK. :shrug:I do feel like Universal can do it better, though.

Of course they'd be driverless, and I'd imagine in doors.

Spared no expense.

I'd love a JP attraction that doesn't follow the "And then something goes horribly wrong!!!" story-line :lol:

Well, indoors, of course it'd be driverless. But we were talking Kilimanjaro and Rhino Rally-type attraction. They require drivers.

EDIT: Indoor JP ride is off limits. Could you imagine the Disney fanboys?

No, we were talking about a ride inspired by with the same kind of feel to it. Not an exact copy.

They only require drivers because they deal with a living environment. I don't think real dinos will be involved in the expansion :lol:

No, you were two pages ago. BJCool and I were definitely talking outdoors, hence the Test Track reference. That was an oversight on my part, not sure how I forgot TT.

Does the Jungle Cruise require a skipper?

Do you want drivers cracking jokes during the ride?

And no, JC doesn't require a skipper. There's no drivers in the JP movie either, so there's no need.

...

My point was that to this day and to my knowledge, there are no outdoor busbar ride systems covering several acres. Could they do it? I'm sure. I was just asking if it had, because I'm assuming busbar systems don't get along very well with rain.

I still respectfully disagree, JS. I just don't see this being indoors, no offense, if for no other reason, there's a dinos-in-the-dark ride just down the road.

The way I see it, the ride should be disaster-free, so no dinosaur attacks nor bridges falling or mudslides. So how would this attraction be exciting? Mind-blowing visuals. Beautiful landscaping, caves, waterfalls, and the most lifelike, most advanced AAs.

Radiator Springs Racers.

And JC does require a skipper.

I think they can fit a jeep ride in either the old Triceratops area or the expansion area, but I wouldn't expect anything extravagant like Radiator Springs.

Trikes would be too small. That would need to go behind Thunder Falls.

Yeah it's pretty small and I wonder what they would do with this area. I think they should just get Trike Encounter out and expand Camp Jurassic there.

And as I stated before, that was an oversight on my part with Test Track. And what I meant was the skipper isn't avoiding the animals with his/her driving. But I anticipate how you're going to dissect this post and tell me how I'm wrong yet again.

No, but the skippers i controlling the speed of the boat and avoiding slamming into other boats.
