The T-Rex on JPRA was fine last week but missing an arm yesterday.... Anyone else notice this?

He just had a rod like stump in its place!
Is this due to be fixed? How did it come off? Does it just fall off?

Trust me. Operations is not happy about it and the managers are eager to get it back on. It will be fixed ASAP. Hopefully before any refurb.

Was it removed intentionally? It was fine last Monday but missing yesterday!

This is so funny. I recall the eating dino on Dinosaur's neck being completely ripped like it had had its throat cut. It was flapping about all over the place. I am not sure how they re-glue silicone.

Rode through today. The arm was on Tiff but you can still see the separation. Also the top broken glass raptor was covered in a black sheet.

To be totally honest, I rode this about two weeks ago and didn't notice a missing arm. I forgot to look for it, but even so, I doubt most guests notice (too busy looking at the head).

I rode it two weeks ago and it was on... I rode it last week and it was gone... I have to admit almost everyone on our boat noticed/commented on it.

They're both water rides with animatronics, which don't do well with water. Considering it has now been over a year since the refurb, this stuff will happen :( .

It should all get fixed up in a week.

Yes, JPRA is becoming Splash Mountain, because Universal puts big tarps to cover the t-rex instead of fixing it.

FYI at universal the black tarp is how they like to handle it when a figure goes out of show in a dark setting. They use the same thing at the false unload at mummy if that figure has issues.

Just a curious question, but has anyone been on JPRA when every single anamatronic has been working.

Multiple times, but honestly what's the point when half of them have lock jaw or are basically statues anyhow. Also something I've noticed recently, does anyone else think the compy's timing is way off as far as movement activation. The last two times I've ridden, about two weeks apart, they didn't start moving until we were 1/3 ways past them. But I really can't wait for this ride to get some love, it's one of my favorites, but its shameful in its current condition.

Almost all the time. My last ride in October had some broken things, but I almost always see everything working.
