Just rode yesterday and here’s my trip report!
- Ultrasaur wasn’t putting its head all the way up. It would go maybe 3/4 of the way and then slowly come down without fully extending its neck. Not as impressive but it eliminates the shaking which is a win. Also it could use some new skin, it was peeling quite a bit along the back!
- Stegos were looking great!
- Both hadrosaurs were MIA. The first one was missing entirely with an empty pit. The second one was there, just sitting still underwater… menacingly!
- Raptor containment looked good, clean and spruced up with some fresh paint. The compys were rocking a new yellow color-scheme, but seemed to be moving slower than normal.
- Raptor #1 was in good condition. Ran forward and seemed to have full motion. The trigger was slightly delayed but still good enough.
- Raptor #2 needed a day off. Stuck in the upright position and barely moving. It had some pretty bad skin rips and its claw seemed to be stuck behind its head!
- The Dilos looked great. It looked like some work was done on their frills during the recent refurb, as they seemed extra snappy.
- Rexy was pretty good, but not great. She was fully extended outwards and the fog effect seemed to be broken, so we could see her just sitting there before her show-light turned on. When she started moving, it looked like the motion that brings her head up was broken. She kept her head a lot lower than usual, which made the drop a bit more thrilling, as she felt closer even though she wasn’t. Her head motion felt a bit more similar to how Hollywood’s used to be, with her head down and hovering over the boat, rather than bringing it all the way up, and slowly starting to come down before the drop like usual.
Overall pretty good, but I’ve seen it better. I do feel like certain elements are starting to show their age even when working, like the Psittacosaurs and the Compys looking more like Spirit Halloween dinosaurs than universal ones with the how ‘rubbery’ they are
Still one of my favorites and always a pleasure to ride!
