I had no hope for this makeover from the start though. The Jurassic World movies are hot trash and it sucks they're influencing the direction of the land. Even the new raptor coaster coming to JP in IOA sounds super lame as far as being an immersive, thematically consistent experience goes
I'm...not sure how you can judge anything about the ride from this. I mean if the colors being different ruin the ride for you then you already made up your mind about this a long time ago.
Tbf the current JP ride at IOA is severely outdated. Wish they did a full reimagining of that as it has potential, but in 2019, it's a complete joke. Maybe once the coaster is done.Got a link?

The current belief among theme park insiders is that Universal might be waiting for the reaction to the Jurassic World rebrand at the Hollywood park before they turn Jurassic Park at Islands of Adventure into Jurassic World. If this is true, time will tell if the River Adventure gets a retheme...Tbf the current JP ride at IOA is severely outdated.

I mean the ride is hardly anything special, its all about theming.I'm...not sure how you can judge anything about the ride from this. I mean if the colors being different ruin the ride for you then you already made up your mind about this a long time ago.
IOA's version has always been vastly inferior to the Hollywood version too; I'm surprised they didn't target the refresh there first.
In any case, I wish they would just update the rides without retheming them.
It needs a full overhaul, not just a retheme. I'm not a fan of JW, so I don't need a retheme. But whether they make it JW or keep it JP, they need to really redesign the whole thing from almost top to bottom. It's pathetic as-is.The current belief among theme park insiders is that Universal might be waiting for the reaction to the Jurassic World rebrand at the Hollywood park before they turn Jurassic Park at Islands of Adventure into Jurassic World.

The complaints of this being changed into Jurassic World being a bad thing makes no sense lol. The faults of the new movies wouldn't apply to updated animatronics, etc. It's just a straight upgrade no matter what way you look at it.
The theme is a huge part of the appeal of Disney/Universal rides. It's what elevates them above other parks, which otherwise have far superior attractions if you only care about thrills. So I don't think it's shocking that some would be turned off by changing the theme from one of the most iconic movies of all time to an inferior reboot.

Jurassic World's theming is extremely sterile.
the fact that they are going pretty hard on that aesthetic also means they probably won't have the much more visually interesting stuff like
Anymore as it doesn't match the land.
Would anybody care to take a picture with that bland silver Mercedes,
hell no.
Ironically, this is probably how 99% of the people who care about this ride actually look (middle-aged).
That's like half the reason I even go to the damn theme park when I'm there.
News on what?

Well bumping this for the first TV spot of the ride.
Unsurprisingly, screens are coming. But seems to be for the mosasaurus portions.
Though I gotta be amused by the man running away from Rexy in the TV spot... while he was on fire!
This was nothing compared to Ripsaw Falls.
I legit had fears of falling off.
Bumping because the ride is in soft opening and we have footage now.
What do you think? While I don't know if it's better than the original I think it looks good.

Yeah apart from the Mosasaurus and a lick of paint, it's the same ride.
I was expecting you'd be in those hamster balls. I hope they don't rebrand the Orlando ride if this is all they're doing.

Oh fuck.Oh! And I just thought of the worst possible addition from the movie: Jimmy Fallon
But yes, I'll hope for the best, but expect the worst. At least it'll be hard to be disappointed then
Just sending people into the predators area is pretty fitting for Jurassic World honestly, the whole doing stupidly dangerous stuff to get money is a prevelant theme in that film. Although the execution of the story is a little off.Some first impressions:
I kinda like the new first encounter with the aquarium but it doesn't instill as much amazement as the old intro into the park did. I don't really like that they just tossed in movie characters. It makes the ride feel less independent and more dated. I do like that they added more dinosaurs into the internal area right before the drop but I don't know if it was worth getting rid of everything that happens before you go up the lift hill.
I also noticed that they altered the plot so your boat doesn't get bumped into the predator containment area by that dinosaur coming out of the water, they straight up send you in there willingly. That's kinda weird.
Lol. Another patented Universal Screen. Cool. At this rate, none of their rides are worth going on unless it's Harry Potter themed. How disappointing.
I mean...there's a grand total of one screen based segment on the whole ride, at the beginning.
The rest of it is all AAs. The Blue animatronic they have at the end is actually really impressive looking.

No no no. their trademark is always finding a way to squirt the guests with water. lolGlad Universal could find a way to cram in some screens at the beginning of the ride. Truly their trademark.
Fast & Furious looks lame, but skull island is actually awesome at Orlando. Has a good atmosphere to it, esp with the outdoor scene, que & giant kong AA at end.The skull island ride is a screen, fast and the furious is a screen, now adding one to Jurassic Park. I know the Orlando park additions started as parts of the tram tour, but the screens just don't do anything for me.
They even found a way to do that with the HP roller coaster lol. But yeah I think the days of every universal ride being just screens is over with.No no no. their trademark is always finding a way to squirt the guests with water. lol
If they were going to replace the Dilophosaurus, escaped jeep crashing down with nothing but 'zone' signs, they should have put the interior screen section there instead and kept the opening as a big open reveal of Jurassic World.
