General Discussion - Jurassic World: The Ride

[BriefCasey]

Sounds like they are trying to maintain it at least.

Just got off blue and the indominus were working and I couldn’t see the gash in the i Rex’s neck so

 

[ParkExplorer9513]

That was quick!

I wonder if they still use the ‘secret recipe’ latex skin formula that they talked about in one of the YouTube docs about the OG ride. It looks good when it’s new but seems to rip really easily

That recipe applies to the animatronics that got hit with water and were outside if I remember correctly. So the stegosaurus’ and the brachiosaurus’. They probably ended up using the same mixture, but the Indo doesn’t get hit by water and is indoors so perhaps a sturdier mix is/could be used?

I feel like we really lost something with the waterfall obscuring the t-Rex like it did in the og ride but I get it

This is the first I've heard of it. Got a link?

Video
It should be mentioned here around the 3 minute mark. Also if you have time I recommend some other videos on that channel. There are 3 or 4 really good mini-docs about the OG JP ride and how it was made. It’s all very 90s

Maybe I just saw it because I was looking for it but it looked like on one side of his neck it still had a HUGE tear in it. Its on the side facing the waterfall so you kinda have to look back to see it but I'm pretty sure it was there yesterday when I went

I might not have been able to see it cause I was all the way in the back but I can live with the tear honestly so long as the animatronic is running

Agreed but just letting everyone know it might still be there. My GF did not notice but like I said, I was looking for it

 

[BriefCasey]

Goes to show that the tear is quite literally in an odd spot. It really is a matter of when they might try to fix it.

Feels like it's starting to regress back into a similar state to when it was still River Adventure.
Last time I rode, the first Indo inside the tunnel started "animating" pretty late and reset while it was still in view making a bit of an awkward silence before actually going up the lift hill. And for some reason Blue didn't come out at all.
Looks like the timing might need a little adjustment again but I thought they overhauled the show controller as well during it's transformation...

The ride could definitely use a little love.

 

[Jerroddragon]

I hope it can go down next January for longer then this year

The issue with USH is they opened a new land that is too small for the demand and then closed two people eater shows and didn't replace them. So now the rides are going for longer hours, with more people on them and less downtime because if one ride is closed then the park other ride line suffer.

I think for that matter, the first Indo head just repeatedly plays its animation now, which is how these things happen. I clearly remember it having a cue when the ride reopened with the park, and I'm surprised that hasn't been fixed.

Blue just seems to be a recurring fluke, as I saw her working last time I went on, but obviously there's still reports of her not working.

Yeah, I think they kind of shot themselves in the foot with that, and now they've backed themselves into a corner of sorts. It'd be absolute hell for a lower lot ride to go down during a peak day.

 

[BriefCasey]

Pardon the double post, but Indo was under a tarp when I went yesterday. Just thought I'd share an update.

Edit: Also Blue worked.

 

[highdefrex]

Any updates on the Indo's status? Still tarped?

 

[BriefCasey]

I'll be going to the park again on Friday. Might have an update on Indo.

 

[baconwhiskers]

I went the 20th and I saw the Indo.

Were you able to see if the tear was fixed?
