DINOSAUR

HISTORY:

Visit the Dino Institute, where they research the past as well as some other things. Meet Dr Helen Marsh, who will show you the new Time Rover vehicle, which can take people back in time to the age of the Dinosaurs. It is a blast to the past, but get back before the impending asteroid!

LOCATION:

In Dinoland USA at Disney Animal Kingdom. From the main entrance to this section the attraction is in the wooded area on the left side.

ATTRACTION EXPERIENCE:

Queueing can start outside, though there is also an extensive area inside where the wait continues through Institute looking rooms with Dinosaur themes. There are fossils and signs all around to examine and look at. Once through the extensive maze of rooms and waiting areas visitors will have finally arrived in the breifing room, where they will be introduced to some of the Insitute "Specialists". When you enter this room move all the way to the doors on the other side of the room. That will shorten your waiting as the doors open and you proceed downstairs and onto your time vehicles. Soon you will be loaded into your time vehicle, which very much resembles a open top truck. Buckle up and then you are off on a bumbled adventure back in time. Bumpy is the word for this ride. You feel thrown all over and the place and most of the ride is in complete darkness with touches of florecent lighting or effects. This ride is more startling for adults than scary, however for kids it can be very scary. Some of the photos of young children on the ride are quite revealing. You can take a look at the photos of people on the ride through the shop next to the ride. This is also the exit point.
