DINOSAUR
Is a Dark Ride at the Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, Orlando, Florida. (You might be familier with how the track layout is?) The name of the attraction, which was originally "Countdown to Extinction" was changed to "DINOSAUR" To promot the Disney Film of the same name. A Statue of a Styracosaurus was originally in the pond at the front of the building as well, but eventually was changed to Aladar the Iguanadon(Cant remember when they made the changes..) For those who want to discuss the ride itself, you've come to the right place!

Statistics:
~ Was originally called "Countdown to Extinction"
~ Originally had a statue of a Styracosaurus in the pond at the front of the building. The current statue is of Aladar the Iguanadon

(Anything else you think i should add? Feel free to message!)

OH my God! This ride! I'm an Aspie, so by the end of this ride, I was sort of a mess.

I loved every minute of it, though. Just serious sensory overload.

When I first went on this ride, I was a little afraid that it would be similar to the Jurassic Park ride in Universal Studios. Luckily that is not the case.

I find this ride much better. It is a lot more entertaining because you a jerking every which way, and it is just way more of a thrill.

It was ok, but I have bad memories of this ride, since my dad lost his $200 camera here due to the jerkiness, and we never got it back... Grrrrr........

This ride is really awesome. :)

Though it scared my six year old brother to death. He was bawling at the end of the ride. But what do you expect? We were face-to-face with a realistic life-like life-sized dinosaur! :P
