At this point, I can see better quality Dino AAs at my local six flags!

Which Six Flags do you live near?
I may need to plan a visit…
But seriously, I am/have been hoping that Garner Holt being on site might be utilized to work on the Dino animatronics.
This guy has quickly become my favorite theme park YouTuber. I’ve been watching him since a few months after he started. At first I didn’t realize how new he actually was!

SFNE in Mass. They took their antique cars and dropped some cheap off the shelf dinosaur animatronics from another park along the ride path and they’re still better maintained than Universal’s world class e-ticket!
BTW I had no idea about garner holt, that’s very good news!
Yes, he’s great! I also like Defunctland, but he stopped posting as much and when he does post it’s about not as relevant topics. Offhand Disney, Poseidon, and Expedition Theme Park are my three favorites

Right there with you for Poseidon and Offhand Disney. Offhand might be my favorite theme park Youtuber period.

Yeah I'm guessing a World retheme is inevitable.

At this point, I'd live with a WORLD retheme if it meant everything worked correctly from that point on!
But keep the Mosa screen tunnel far, far away from Orlando. It's just not a worthy opening sequence compared to the (working) lagoon scene.

Bring Jurassic World over and convert Thunder Falls into the sitdown Hammonds restaurant from Beijing. Money maker right there imo

As a JP diehard, if they keep Camp Jurassic for a JW retheme... I'll take it.

Keep Camp Jurassic and when you do the conversion to World keep the old queue video. Explain that this was the video Hammond intended to headline the planned JP River Adventure before the issues happened and expansions were scrapped. Now Jurassic World intends to present Hammond’s initial vision for the park, but completely safe and with the latest Dino’s and technology.
That way we can keep the Attenborough footage to boot; perfectly mixing the old and new.

I mean, sure it saves money, but I really only care about saving the Hammond/Attenborough footage. The rest can be Claire or Wu talking about the safety procedures, the dinosaurs we can expect to see, and the legacy of Hammond they are trying to uphold; intercut with Hammond’s spiel.
As a fan of the original movies/ride this feels like the best way to blend both worlds.
As a film buff, I also don’t want to lose that Attenborough footage given the relationship he and Spielberg formed with one another.

One of the original plans for the Hollywood overlay was to enclose the entire layout so they could have larger and more elaborate sets without worrying about weather. They didn’t do it because of cost, space, and the desire to honor the original. It would be a good idea for Orlando. They could use the indoor setting to capture the mood and feel of the Beijing ride while still keeping the layout. What’a more likely though is for them to just transplant Hollywood since the R&D is already finished.
Weather doesn't really impact it that much since it's already a water ride that needs maintenance anyway on a yearly basis. It's just poor upkeep by Universal.
That’s not true at all. The weather absolutely has an effect. SoCal does not have the type of hot and humid seasons Orlando has.
