This was one of the rides I was most looking forward too. Universal is so great at making inanimate objects come to live. Unfortunately, I just couldnt look at the animatronic figures and see them as dinosaurs. Their movements just didnt seem lifelike and their "skins" just didnt look lifelike. I wanted to let my mind go and believe in the fake reality of this ride and be amazed, but I just couldnt. Now for the finale, the T-rex has great movements and a realistic looking skin. When it roars at you, there will definately be hairs standing up on the back of your neck. The drop is great, and I thought that I felt a very short spot of airtime which just never happens on boat rides. I hate making Universal rides sound disappointing, but they set the standards to high for themselves. Dont get me wrong, it is a must ride.
