Good setup, killer effects in the film, really fun surprises in the vehicle, yet somehow lackluster, almost Universal Studios-ish. The only thing I can figure is that chasing a storm doesn't get to your heart. And an arrogant screw-up for your pilot isn't as endearing as Rex, an affable screw-up.

Dinosaur feels a bit like a super-expensive carny ride where you bumble through the dark until the lights come on and "Oh no, there's a Carnosaurus!" I mean, imagine if they had built the set along the lines of Universe of Ellen with that big sunrise and waterfalls, but kept Dinosaur's pacing? Build the same room as in Indy but fill it with ferns and lava? Back on topic, nice to hear I'm not the only one who thought Rex was speaking for all of us!

OK, I have an embarrassing confession to make. Dinosaurs scared the living #*$! out of me. I have never been more freaked out on a Disney ride.

Originally Posted By friarthe "They did a good job. Have you ever seen a grown man scream like a girl?" Yes, Dr. Hans. Me. On Dinosaur. My wife nearly wet herself, she was laughing so hard at me. Still, I think a little more context would make the ride fun, and not just scary as heck.
