DINOSAUR received a major refurbishment in 2016. Repairs to the animatronics, sound, lighting, and paint touch ups were made. New fossil exhibits were put in the queue. Also, some new effects were added. The comsognathus that were jumping over the vehicle (in 2000 their movements were stopped and they were lit with strobe lights) were replaced with carefully placed screens showing CGI compsognathus fleeing the meteor shower. They also brought back an effect that was turned off in 2000, a green laser net capturing the iguanadon.
THANK YOU. This is stuff I wish the video covered. I noticed a number of mistakes and a few things that don't look like they were actually part of the ride.
I remember my last time at WDW in 2012 that some of the exhibits were very inaccurate even at that time so I'm glad they changed and refurbished the attraction. I wish Disney kept the fears in the ride bc that was the point of WDW, to appeal to adults, teens, and kids. I feel that the corporation has lost that goal now.....
I smell a mt everest yeti wannabe
I wonder where the compys went...
Huh... It didn't look any different to me when I went on it recently. Actually it seemed to be in not the best shape. Didn't see any jumping comsognathus, and the 3rd appearance of the Carnotaurus animatronic which starts running after your car wasn't working and just sat there instead... Quite disappointing...
Eisner really believed in that Dinosaur Movie huh lol
ThaBeastdotcom Eisner>Iger
@@user-pn2pv9fz3f Walt Disney> Eisner
I liked the movie, was it a Land Before Time rip off, yes. But it was still a decent Disney flick.
I mean, he wasn't technically wrong. It (somehow) grossed more worldwide than any Eisner-era 2000s Walt Disney Animation movie, and that includes Lilo and Stitch which sparked a massive franchise that to this day is still milked at the parks. Plus, at the time, it got better reviews than certain other ambitious pet projects that Eisner hoped would start a franchise (namingly Atlantis). It's probably just that making a TV show or a direct-to-DVD Dinosaur sequel (like the other animated Disney sequels at the time) was out of the cards because DIsney wasn't equipped with the technology or skilled employees required to make a lower-budget CGI project yet. They had Disneytoon for cheap 2D, but nothing for cheap 3D that was meant to look as realistic as possible.
@@RariettyC I've been on the dinosaur ride numerous times and maybe within the last year my wife and i realized it was based off a movie lol still love that ride though
I rode it recently and you not only have to narrowly avoid getting blasted away by the meteor, but also get a face full of the Carnotaurus as you return to the present. One thing I enjoyed about the ride is that it is one of the few Disney World rides still remaining that you could describe as "frightening" and it is nice to ride something at Disney World that is a little more intense.
I hadn't realized that the original finale was animation of the asteroid coming down to hit you. Story-wise, that actually makes more sense--on the other hand, that last appearance by the Carnotaurus is more visually impressive.
I’d honestly love for them to revamp the asteroid animation I agree that it makes for a more cohesive story. The carnotaurus seems like it’s copying the finale of the Jurassic Park boat ride
@@yeemcgee8149 They could probably combine the two effects with a bit of finagling.
That Carnotaurus isn't there anymore
@@tadpolegaming4510 yes it is
I think that's a digital image someone put in the video. All the videos I've seen of the original version had the Carnotaurus at the end and not the asteroid. Would love to hear from someone who actually did go on the original version to confirm.
One small correction: the Pepper's Ghost effect featuring the iguanadon on the back of your vehicle WAS active for a very short time, during the soft opening that was only accessible to Annual Passholders. I was there and I remember quite vividly seeing the iguanadon on the back of the car--it was a neat effect. I also found a thread of several other people who were at the soft opening and also remember it (I had to go look it up while watching this video, to make sure I wasn't crazy, because I KNEW I remembered it operating!).
Is there a video of it? I wanna see!
I remember it as well. Thought I was going crazy when he said it was never used. It was a really cool effect!
But, Dinosaur did get a refurbishment, I'm pretty sure a year or two ago. It wasnt something extravagant, but did fix a few mechanics and lighting
To be perfectly honest, Indiana Jones in Animal Kingdom makes less sense then Pandora. At least Avatar fits the mythical creature quota AK was missing before
ConnerPlays I think I’d pitch a giant hissy fit if it became Indian jones, both bc of theming inconsistency and bc dinosaur is my favorite ride at Disney world
Plus there's the dino bash.
Please respond.
Disney Boy the thing where Donald celebrates his dinosaur heritage?
I really hope they don't do that. As great as the indiana jones ride is, it should STAY in California and Tokyo only. The parks need unique attractions. For every space mountain, have an incredicoaster and so on.
The ride and the movie are severely underrated. There’s such an epic feeling with Disney’s Dinosaur, from the sweeping landscapes to the intense sequences and the fantastic score. The ride is one of the main reasons why I love going to Animal Kingdom .
Muzzammil Shaik Agreed!
This ride terrified me as a child! But now it's one of my favorite rides
Same here
Lost my sunglasses on this ride, might be a dinosaur wearing them on there.
I'll check while on the ride this week.
Me too!
swear I saw a raptor wearing my lost magic band
I checked and I saw them!
Well someone’s sun glasses….
Nobody:
Me, a level headed mature individual: WE'RE GONNA DIE ON HERE
Zooer I say that to calm myself down on thrilling rides
Me as well!!! I’ve never been so terrified at Disney in my life 😩😩😩😩
You win the comments for a month
i can't believe you didn't say "HEEEEEELLO THERE" in the intro
We dropped the ball there.

Theme Park History do you know what attraction you haven’t covered yet?
Theme Park History you haven’t covered Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay!
I went to Dinosaur earlier this year due to me not only loving Dinosaurs but also because I've loved Disney's Dinosaur since it first came out when I was young. Needless to say I loved the ride and was impressed even with Dinoland's showing age and it's neighbor being Pandora (which I also went and loved, the long lines were worth it imo). I really do want Dinosaur to stay though since it's the only memory Disney currently has tying to the film and I don't want it to be forgotten like Treasure Planet was (another movie from Disney that I always loved).
Budervan I love dinosaurs! 🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖
Honestly, that could have been my comment. I was so fascinated by Disney's Dinosaur, I even learned to play "The Egg Travels" and "Across the Desert" on the piano. I went to Disney's Animal Kingdom a week ago and rode that ride 7 times haha 😂
that old WDW ad with the brothers! oh my God, that had me in my feelings. I remember being like 5 or 6 and wanting to go to Disney World so badly because of that ad. thanks for that nostalgic throwback.
great vid as always! I wouldn't mind Disney reworking Dino Land into something else but I would be kind of bummed if they got rid of Dinosaur. I think it just needs to be updated and refurbed real bad. It's still a fun ride overall.
same i think i remember these ads on some Disney VHS movies. Throwback
I think that ad was on "the Lion King" VHS. Took me back too.
@El Viola Feos definitely not a bad idea!
Yes! I remember seeing this ad so many times!!!
Can we all agree they knew how to draw people in, not just kids, with their ads like that one????
Actually, Dinosaur was refurbished as recently as last fall with the static Copmsagnathus being replaced with Cgi ones and the Dinosaurs all getting retuned so they could run smother then they had been in recent years. So I doubt they’re going to close it anytime soon.
“Definitely NOT our Dino!”
"This isn't the Dino you're looking for."
“go go GO!”*the rover sped up from the carnotaurus*
22 years later and this quote just hit me like a nostalgia baseball bat.

This was the reason my family visited Animal Kingdom! Thank you for covering this!
Thank you for watching Bryce!
@@ThemeParkHistory I always enjoy your content! Thank you!
The ride was working fine when I was there three years ago. It was still pretty popular too; my friends and I were lucky enough to have fastpasses. I think Dinosaur has a few years to go yet before it goes extinct.
I went on it in the back and it reminded me of count down to extinction lol IT WAS SO FRIGGIN CHOPPY
Most underrated ride at WDW and is a Top-5 for me overall. Dark, scary, loud, intense. Damn near perfect dark ride, as far as I am concerned.
I completely agree!
The Animal Kingdom background music you used is making me cry😂😂🤧🤧 I haven’t been to Disney in a couple years, but I used to go all the time as a kid. My mom and dad divorced and now both sides of my family have multiple kids, so it’s too expensive to take everyone to Disney. But I still have such good memories there. Thanks for taking me back for a little while.
meisferrari i used to go to disney, until me and my family got bored of it and now we go to universal studios
You have my sympathies
meisferrari I agree! It’s making me cry too!
I think rumors now actually point toward Dinosaur staying and the rest of dinoland being bulldozed for something else. Insiders have indicated this on top of the fact that Dinosaur cast members recently got new uniforms and a lot of the lighting and effects on the ride have actually seen some good maintenance lately. I could be wrong though of course.
I can second this. It almost didn't make it, but I knew it would.
Cassy Black Haha. I love that reference there. I love this attraction so much I’ve nearly memorized every quote from it. xD
@@revan1944 Same dude. It's my life force, no lie
They better not replaced it
They better not get rid of that ride I loved it when I was a kid scared the bejesus outta me my god
I will never forgive Disney's Animal Kingdom if they close this ride.
Shinndig 129 that will make me furious if they do
Same here
Shinndig 129 Neither will I; this ride is fucking great!
i highly agree!
you cant replace a masterpiece like dinosaur
If disney gets rid of Dinosaur or Dinoland USA all together the Park will loose me as a guest. Dinoland USA is one of my favorite parts of Animal Kingdom
I think they should at least replace some of the smaller attractions with a brand new E-Ticket attraction in the near future to freshen up the area.
Haley Ann Animal Kingdom don’t even think about it!
Dino land is going bye bye. I went last week, and Dinosour is carrying Dino land. I don’t think many people will go to Dino land since it’s on the other side of the park away from Pandora, and if people don’t know what the ride is, it being named Dinosour, and being hidden doesn’t help it.
I grew up watching Disney's Dinosaur
When we were planning a Disney World trip, I did some research and found the Dinosaur ride.
I freaked out and it instantly became my favorite dark ride at Disney World.
I hope you also cover the original Kilimanjaro Safari
That would be great
So much better than the new one
I for one think that it is great that they got rid of the poachers. It kind of gave guests the message that if we don't do something, and protect these magnificent creatures, these wonderful animals that we were seeing might become endangered or even extinct. Without that message, I feel that I can now go on a real hunting safari without feeling any guilt. Thanks Disney.
Lol. I wasn't sure if you were being serious there.
I honestly think they could have had it both ways -a story about poaching and a fun look at real-life animals - if they'd thought it through a little better. Make the ride have two tracks, or a track that diverges into a fork. One track is for the story about the elephants with less live animals but more thrills and the other is a breeze through a synthetic savannah with all the real animals you could dream of. That way you can cry your eyes out on one attraction without the animals messing up the story and then go re-ride the other as many times as you want and see all the different living animals.
Sinister Sweet yeah I was being sarcastic. The park is all about conservation, so for them to take away such a powerful message seems pretty odd.
The poacher version is actually the same route, just with a one or two minute detour. The safari radio would occasionally interrupt and inform the driver of poachers being spotted nearby while watching real animals, then being told that they need our help, so we detour a little ways but the baby elephant (fake) had already been rescued, so the driver goes back to almost where we left off. It’s pretty short, but I guess does add 2 minutes to a busy ride.
I remembered the scene being pretty boring, but I am pretty spoiled, so having seen it several times before, I had no interest in fake shenanigans. But most people still treat WDW as a once in a lifetime trip, so its new and exciting for people who’ve never been.
I love that Circle of Life Animal Kingdom trailer. Chills and nostalgia every time
This is one of my favorite rides in all of Disney world
My dad was an imagineer on this project and he said it was one of the biggest headaches to be apart of in his 30 years and two park opens 😂
Thank you for showing that classic Disney commercial with the 2 brothers
One of the commercials I remember the most as a kid.
@@ThemeParkHistory Me too!
As a life long Disney fan, this is my favorite ride at any of the parks. I worked at Hollywood Studios in the fall of 2019 and at least once a week I'd get up to be at AK right at opening and I'd run over to Dinoland and ride it 10x in a row with absolutely no wait and then head over to Studios for work.. such a gem of a ride, thanks for this video!
I was there when it was called Countdown to Extinction. It has been so long, I don't remember the meteor at the end, nor the Styracosaurus statue in the front. Still, I remember this ride fondly and still ride it as Dinosaur.
Expedition everest is fun but... this was absolutely my favourite ride at Animal Kingdom when we went last year =D
If the Lone Ranger had been a success, they were going to stick the characters in Big Thunder Mountain.
Disney will not stop until they stick IP in every ride.
Splash Mountain would like to have a word with you both....
Can’t wait to see The Rock in the Jungle River Cruise ride
Bailey Ralls he’s already there. Haven’t you seen him?
This is one of my favorite rides at Disney. I grew up loving dinosaurs because of Jurassic Park so this ride was a dream as a kid.
This is seriously one of my favorite Disney rides. Seeing it bite the dust for a clone, as much as I love Indy, would make me pretty sad.
But otherwise I welcome it because Dinoland in general is pretty terrible.
They should just remove the Dinosaur name to the attraction, as most people don't remember or even know what the Dinosaur movie was. Dinoland definitely needs some kind of revamp though.
Honestly, I'm pretty sad in general about the idea of bringing Indiana Jones stuff to AK. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the franchise (a lot) - but it doesn't tie into the concept of "Animal" Kingdom...at all. The guy's an archeologist. He literally studies *human* history. Also I love dinosaurs because I suppose I'm still an 8 year old at heart. :p
Man...I do love that Dinosaur score!
Really under-appreciated, great work by James Newton Howard.
Are we SURE that the pepper's ghost effect was never used in the ride? This has always bothered me because I have a very vivid memory about this effect. Kinda. See, when I went to Disney in 2001, my mother and I were in line for this ride but I oped out of riding at the last minute as I was young and a chicken on rides and I got freaked out a bit in the cue line. So I did not ride, my mother rode alone. When she got off the ride, I asked her about it and she talked about how you find the dino and you then at the end you "see the dinosaur in the car with you." I distinctively remember her describing the effect as that cus she thought it was neat.
Watch a video of it, the dino is just in vehicle with a cage on it, or it used to be
I still wish they made Beastly Kingdom. It was a much better idea and the rides were all better.
It's a shame they never decided to revisit Beastly Kingdom, it had an awesome concept and the attractions looked fantastic.
This is my absolute favorite ride at Disney world!
I've been on both versions, let me tell you that final Carnatour attack always makes me scream lol even though I know it's coming I can't help it, I'm going to miss it if it does close
I love this ride, always have no matter the name. It's like a cross between Back to the Future the Ride and Jurassic Park, it's awesome, thanks for doing a video on it!
Whoa, hang on, you missed a few different refurbishments. I consider there to be three main iterations of this attraction. The first two you covered, but with the refurb from 2016, a number of effects were updated such as the projected compys instead of physical ones, as well as new projected asteroid debris throughout the attraction. New lighting effects also created a different sense of atmosphere while also showing you new backgrounds. The second encounter with the Carnotaurus also had the updated strobes, creating a much scarier and intense encounter. It's a shame that they didn't reactivate the flying pterodactyl though.
Yeah it seems like they brought back a few of the old effects fog, the laser field on the iguanodon, moving compys, carnotaurus chase sounds, the Star field at the beginning, strobes, and asteroid debris I think it makes it a much more intense ride
The flying pteranodon will never be reactivated unless Disney changes policy. No rides will have active show elements above guests heads unless they are secured a certain way. That's why the meteors don't move on primeval whirl either, they were deactivated.
That makes sense. I had heard somewhere that one of the issues with the the pterodactyl (and I did just double check and it is indeed a pterodactyl) was that people could reach up and touch it.
King Poseidon they could probably projection map it like they did the compsagnathas
Can you do Jimmy Neutron Nicktoon Blast, in memory of Stephen Hillenburg?
Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion Gabriel.
Am I the only one who thinks "Dinosaur... ride it" is the worst tagline for a ride ever?
No you're not the only one hahaha. It sounds like the porno that the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park watch lmfao
Don’t make fucking demands. That’s how I viewed it haha
They could have gone with worse. "Dinosaur. You have to saur it to believe it."
Pizza.... eat it.
Yeah I was like what the hell kinda commercial was that lol.
You know if Disney's The Good Dinosaur had done better in the box office I feel like Disney would have pushed it in the park more.
I love this ride so much
One of the more intense attractions Disney has created, not that there's anything wrong with that!
I'd hate to see this ride go. It was the only reason I was ever interested in Animal Kingdom.
ddrlear they did good Orlando the ride
It never closed down. It was closed to be refurbished, that's t. You can still ride it.
Theme Park History is not stopping with the great content. I will say I really enjoy this attraction but it could really do well with a little more intensity. 👍🏻
Thank you Michael! I thought the original was too intense when I was younger, all grown up now I wish Disney wouldn't have the changes, feels like it hurts the overall attraction.
Michael I agree 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Where is he
Can you make a video on Rock n Rollercoaster?
Rock n Rollercoaster Starring Aerosmith has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion Christopherson Gs.
Absolutely loved the commercials! ❤️
Disney needs to bring them back, they were a great part of my childhood!
I remember Dr. Seeker with a T-Rex hand puppet in the pre-show saying, “Hello there!”
Can you please do Dudley do rights ripsaw falls or mib alien attack?
Both attractions have been added to the list, thank you for the suggestions Hayden.
Since you have done a video about the history of the Dinosaur ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, can you please make videos about the history of Expedition Everest and It’s Tough to be a Bug next?
Both have been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Stephen.
Theme Park History Here’s another suggestion how about making three videos about the history of the Harvest Theater at The Land pavilion at Epcot, Festival of the Lion King at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and the now defunct Legend of the Lion King puppet show at the Magic Kingdom Park?
Stephen Kostiak Hi!
Please do the incredible hulk! It is such a engineering marvel that doesn't seem to get the credit it deserves. The launch system is truly an amazing design.

We teased Hulk at the end of our Spider-Man video and will have a video out in early 2019.
@@ThemeParkHistory awesome!
So Disney has a history of hiding the actual budget price, hmmm?? Like they did with the budget for INFINITY WAR.
NOOOOO i love the Indy ride but Dinosaur was one of the coolest attractions ever, being originally not from a specific existing franchise and scary to boot.
If we're gonna speak technicals here, Countdown to Extinction didn't exactly close; it was just revamped for the 2000 Dinosaur movie. It's almost the same exact ride.
with ellens energy adventure closed they should fix up and find a way to add the animatronics from it into this ride
That's not a bad idea, unfortunately I think Disney might have scrapped most of the animatronics from Ellen's Energy Adventure.
This ride scared the hell out of me as a kid
I first rode countdown to extinction back in summer 1998 and I was scared after I rode it and then in December 2014 I rode dinosaur and I felt much braver than my first experience
One of the best rides at Disney.
Please do the pre-story removal Kilimanjaro Safari!!!
Kilimanjaro Safari has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion Michael.
I just got back from my first visit to Disney World and this was my favorite ride. It was actually kind of scary (in a good way) because it was so dark I didn’t know what was coming. I loved every second of it and rode it about six times. Everyone talks about what a terrible state the ride is in but it looked fine to me having nothing to compare it to. I’ll be so sad to see it go.
Not many rides scare me but this one gets me every time. I love it!
4:10 Omg I just now remembered this. The nostalgia. Real shame about Beastly Kingdom thoough, I would kill for that land.
I wish they would have built beastly kingdom instead
I am pretty sure they will reconsider that once Universal's epic universe is open in a few years
@@yunocba Especially with Super Nintendo Land coming in that expansion, and possibly a new Harry Potter themed section
@@kristophernekula5151 hopefully!!! I think it will be a good addition. Do you know how UEU will be connected to the rest of the parks?

@@kristophernekula5151 OMG SUPER NINTENDO LAND STOP IM PACKING MY BAGS RN

DISNEY DINOSAUR RIDE is my word 1th Best Farvorite Disney, Dinosaur,Best Ride Forever & I hope this ride don't go Extinction. I love this dinosaur ride away be in my Heart of Gold & I Hope it's has in Animal Kingdom for Forever. 😎😀😊😞👼🐲😃
Shane Blackburn I agree, Shane. I never want to see this attraction go.
Aww man i remember my family and I were wheeling my Grandmother around the park and we wanted to ride this so we used her to get us to the front of the line🤣. Just the worst people I know, She was fine tho I promise 🙏🤣
That first commercial you played with the two brothers… that struck a nostalgic nerve that had laid dormant for decades… wow
i adore this channel and dinosaur is one of my all time favorite attractions
U HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I WAS WAITING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS.
THX MAN!
I garentee you, Disney can NEVER make a dinosaur ride better than Jurrasic Park the Ride. COME AT ME HATERS!!!!!
Honestly I do love both Dinosaur and Jurassic Park the Ride because you know.....FREAKIN DINOSAURS MAN!
@@schoonfam08 yeah, dinos are awesome.
They did, it’s called Dinosaur.
@@kevinpauly6342 Alright, time for me to NOT say ur wrong. But instead explain why not only do I think JP is better, but why it us the best ride ever made. 1. The jungle and river landscape is beautiful. Compare that to a dark jungle that's indoors at Animal kingdom. 2. The animatronics are some of the biggest you will ever see. The t Rex at Tue end is more impressive than the 3 carnotaur Disney animatronics. 3. JP has a simple, straightforward story. Extinction has a wild find this specific dinosaur story that's fine, but JP simply puts u in the situation of the movie. A calm tour goes horribly wrong. I don't need anything else. And 5, there is no finale drop on a ride that is more thrilling and adrenaline pumping, than JP's. Extinctions drop is wimpy, and you don't get wet.(though i suppose getting wet is a personal preference) But, again, I respect your opinion, and I'm just here to explain my view.
Both are awesome! But at least dinosaur’s animatronics still move just as well as they did one opening day
I rode this for the first time in Sept. 2000. It was the scariest attraction I had ever ridden. Our ride photo is hilarious. I'm just about under the seat. So I can't imagine how intense it was originally. It's a great attraction! I think very underrated in AK now. I've ridden Indy in DL, and I'm not for the change. It would seem to be a little redundant now that they are focusing on revamping the stunt show in DHS. I'm really enjoying your videos!
My all time favorite Disney attraction. Hope it doesn’t show up on expedition extinct
Same.
Or defunctland
I was on this ride four weeks ago and it was amazing.
How about doing one on the Great Movie Ride ...
“This is 911 what’s your enrgency? “
“ *Goofy is beating up my dad* “
Not the momma! Not the momma! LOL! Do a video about that show!
I loved Dinosaurs as a kid, I think I still have the toys somewhere in my attic.
You do that one more time and I'm gonna throw you across the room!
When I was on this ride during my visit to Animal Kingdom, I imagined it as a sequel to Dinosaurs in the Wild.
honestly, this ride has never been one of my favorites. it scared the CRAP out of me as a kid. it's just so loud. even now i have a hard time enjoying it. i didn't realize this was an unpopular opinion haha
It terrified me as a kid too but that kinda made me wanna do it again. Now it’s my favorite attraction. I can’t help but love all the detail but into the animatronics/ landscape
Same here
I’ve never been a fan too. My main problem is the vehicle moving like a real Jeep. I know it’s part of the immersion but I’m constantly distracted by it and I can’t enjoy the dinosaurs :(
I went to animal kingdom maybe 2 years ago with my dad and her hirlfriends and her sons
My sister got some problems to they left the park i convinced them to leave me and one of the sons (i was 16 he was 15) and we got on rthis ride a total of 23 times
Way
Wya too many times
Same with yeti which we got on like 4 times
The park was pretty empty this day (empty for a disney park) and omg it was so much fun
I don't think....
Another remade Indiana Jones ride...
Would be cool...
Unless it has dinosaurs in it and is a all new Indiana Jones adventure(involving dinosaurs)ride...
I think every Disney park should be original and different...
I like this one, especially the Disney commercials that were shown, the second one really brought back memories, remembered watching that one over and over again on my VHS tape of the lion king. Ahhhhh the memories, thanks for finding that.
As for a suggestion, something Christmas themed. I dunno what exactly, but I'm sure you guys have something planned for that.
Man I hope they don’t get rid of dinoland U.S.A, it’s gotta be one of my favorite places in animal kingdom.
The area definitely needs some love though, they should replace the Dino-Rama area if they're going to do any upgrades.
Really good video (great ending clip too). I truly hope they don't get rid of Dinosaur. I thoroughly enjoy it even to this day! Really happy you covered this attraction. It deserves more love!
This ride was scary asf lol
Still is! The Carnotaurus is one of the most frightening animatronics Disney has ever created. I think it's because of its beady eyes.
Good, they should keep it scary. Disney should have a place to demonstrate their capabilities for adults.
My favorite animal kingdom ride I never want to see it removed or rethemed
THE TIMEKEEPER AT WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!
The Timekeeper has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion thetevinator.
@@ThemeParkHistory Awesome!!! Anytime!!! Thanks a million!!! 😎✌👍👍😊
The original ride scared the crap out of me as an 8 year old when it first came out! It was the reason I didn’t want to go on any rides until I was older!
They should have gone with Beastly Kingdom .. Dinoland is in need of serious refurbishment only the dinosaur ride is the only good attraction . Primevil Whirl is outdated albeit funny and the pathway is cracked and looks like an old car park with some objects thrown ontop
Alec H it’s supposed to be cracked
its supposed to look like a parking lot carnival, that is the whole point of Dinoland USA
Instead of the Indiana Jones land, they should rip out Primeval Whirl and the Dino-Rama stuff and remake it as what it was originally intended to be, a whole land themed around a paleontological dig. There was going to be a roller coaster called "Excavator" with weird junk-sculpture dinosaurs. All that got nixed by the budget cuts when they were building the land.
Paul Echols That honestly makes it worse. It’s such a lazy land compared to the rest of the park. Primeval Whirl is laughably bad and should be replaced.
Primeval Whirl makes me sick, and the theming is just so un-Disney and boring. It's a real step down from what we've come to expect from Disney imagineering.
“Remember those locked co-ordinates...were in”. One of my fave rides and so many quotes
What’s funny is that you can see dragons in the parking lot
They still had dragons around the park for a while, including a dragon head statue at the entrance of the park and a dragon shaped rock formation from the now closed Discovery River Boats.
Even if I don´t like the Dinoland-Area, but DINOSAUR is an awesome experience!
In my opinion it uses the best ride system Disney has in it´s portfolio. Indiana Jones is still my favorite Disney-ride. Thanks for this very informational video. Love your channel!
Awesome idea and video!!!! Love these! You do these so much better than alot of other channels attempt to do!!
Thank you Ibuddy66! We really appreciate the kind words, it means a lot to us!
Easily one of my favorite rides at Disney. Not only are the dinosaurs awesome and frightening, but the ride is super dark and very bumpy. A lot of fun!!
I know you mainly do Disney and universal videos, but I’d LOVE a video on Journey to Atlantis Sea World Orlando. Especially because I have vivid childhood memories of this ride being terrifying but awesome and I recently saw it’s current state in a video and it’s...pretty disappointing.
I loved Disney's Dinosaur though! Really wish they had made a franchise out of it, even incorporating the Time Rover and stuff into its sequels. I mean that would make for some awesome stories!
I really think they should get rid of the rest of dinoland and keep Dinosaur. Dinosaur is a great ride but the rest of the land is kinda cheap. They can do a much better job
I agree, the other attractions in the area are not that appealing and really doesn't make the overall Dinoland USA a appealing place.
I hope the rumors about Dinoland and the Dinosaur ride being transformed into Indiana Jones are not true, cause they're unique and makes sense in terms of Animal Kingdom's overall theme. They don't deserve to be replaced by an IP that has barely anything to do with animals! Indiana Jones is just an action and adventure franchise!
“Helllllooo there!”
