[Andy]

FYI, Jurassic Park River Adventure will be closed for refurbishment starting on January 19th ( The day Dudley reopens) and will reopen on February 7th. Cross your fingers for some Raptor love....

Is that from internal information or was it posted on the UO website?

Does this refurbishment involve bringing in real dinosaurs? I want an actual Jurassic Park. I mean, really, it's 2012 already...

I know with guest demand and all it would probably be near impossible but I would like for nothing more than an extensive refurb for JPRA.

Well, I guess HatetoFly has become HatetoReply... so, I just checked, and the refurbs are listed on the calendar page. Geez, I had to type universalorlando.com and then struggle to click hours & info and then select something.

^ Hey I can live with that name, kinda catchy!!!

Teebs I got them off of the universal web page, I was at the park today so I might of appeared online but no responding its too damn hard to see the tiny letters on my phone.

Attractions Magazine snapped a few photos of the ride in its current closed, dry state

Just this week the Dudley Do-Right ride reopened and the Jurassic Park River Adventure closed for refurbishment. I guess they’re cleaning up after yet another escaped raptor disaster.

Here’s a look at the ride’s drop area without water. We’ve heard the ride should reopen in early February.

So are they just doing seasonal updates?

So are they just doing seasonal updates?

From what I understand, yes. I went on the ride last Monday and all of the effects seemed to be working fairly well. I did notice that one of the dinosaurs were a little off in its movement, but other than that, it didn't seem too bad.

I was at universal today, wasn't aware that JPRA was closed. I was pretty miffed, but hey, at least Dudley's back open. Always feels good to give Dudley some of my love.

^ I personally prefer individual threads about specific rides as I would prefer to not wade through rehabs of which I have no interest. I do think a thread specific to dates and times of rehabs sans pictures has a place as well.

Agreed. If that's the direction things have to go in, at least create two different refurb threads for Disney and Universal.

^That's nitpicking. A comprehensive thread for what's under refurb is useful.

It's not nitpicking when the amount of information becomes overwhelming. Why have different forums for each park? Let's just lump everything together then.

How is 15-20 rides overwhelming?

How is 15-20 rides overwhelming?

Over half of the rides in that thread I have no interest in. They could all close. I'm with Teebin on separate threads, just my 2 cents.

 

[Tbad556]

It seems like there is some confusion between both the staff and the members. There will still be individual refurb threads such as this one. The point of the other thread is to have one compiled area where everyone can view which attractions will be closed at certain times.

I believe all hatetofly was saying is that he could've checked the thread before his trip to find out that it was going to be closed on that day.

 

[Teebin]

I hope that I was not misunderstood. I love to have the new rehab schedule thread as it serves a very specific overview across parks. But when it comes to details and pictures of individual ride rehabs, I like to have threads like this this.
