One of the most awaited E-Ticket attraction of the year is now open at Universal Studios Hollywood as Jurassic World : The Ride opened yesterday, right in time for Independence Day! you have two POV videos of it below, one filmed at daytime the other filmed at nighttime.
I would say that the indoor scenes are better than the first version, the aquarium scene at the start with the Mosasaurus, replacing the lagoon scene with the Apatosaurus, is excellent, and the end scene with the Indominus Rex is pretty good too. They kept most of the dinosaurs which were present in the first version, some have been moved to the end scene. However there is a moment before the lift taking the raft up to the end scene, in what is called now "Predator Cove" which feels a bit "empty" in my opinion, even if it's a scene with a theming done to have guests being aware that the Indominus Rex has escaped. For instance, they could have keep the small spitting dinos who were there previously and who are now placed up there, near the end scene. Or they could have put in this Predator Cove some dead Raptors supposedly killed by the Indominus Rex who supposedlly has just escaped...
Have a look at both videos below and let us know what you feel in the comments!

For those having the nostalgia of the first version of the Jurassic Park ride, here is a 2010 HD POV video, filmed at a time when the falling car effect was still working.
In addition, in the Jurassic World area a Velociraptor Encounter also opened with Blue, the dangerous raptor, arriving in the video below at around 4.02 minutes...

...and there is even a great "Triceratops Encounter" - in both cases these are not Audio-Animatronics but a sophisticated Dino costume with men inside, but guests will love them.
As we talk about a Dinosaurs attraction did you ever read the Dinosaurs attraction concept titled "Back to Dinosaurs", that i had imagined 15 years ago with my friend Imagineer Jeff Burke? You can read it on Disney and more, it's a long two parts article, in the first part you have all the storyline describing even two different concepts for the beginning, plus great artworks. And the second part is "how we would have done it", technically speaking. Part one is is HERE And Part two is HERE.
