Jurassic Park Triceratops Encounter at Islands of Adventure | 1999

[CryoKatana97]

my papercraft trike looks more realistic

[theevilrobots92]

its looks like fake but.......

[thefroman17]

So jelly...

[ztslovebird]

The sick triceratops was more lifelike in the movie.

[Candice2021]

Is it real?

[SoulColombian]

So harry Potter replaced this ?

[UniversalEvolution]

@SoulColombian No Harry Potter replaced most of The Lost Continent. Jurassic Park is still the same. I have also heard this attraction has been re-opened recently.

[SoulColombian]

@UniversalEvolution I went to Islands last month with my 8th grade class bout 200 of us & the triceratops wasnt there :( just the River Adventure

[lordbrioan]

@SoulColombian a few weeks ago i went and they re-opened the discovery trail

[ztslovebird]

@UniversalEvolution What was The Lost Continent?

[Fuktupratbag]

It's been 10 years since I've seen this brings back memories. it was very interesting.

I liked the triceratops but we couldn't really touch it w/o reaching w/1 finger maybe.

we were told IT WAS the real triceratops that was sick in the field in the movie.

it was my fav dinosaur when i was a kid.

[Animegirl829]

lol, this is what jarassic park would have been like if the dinosaurs didn't escape, but that would make a boring movie.

[SophieLovesHCO]

@DarkReaper1994

What does that have to do with this closing? This closed in 2005 while Harry Potter was planned in 2007. Im really happy it was added, considering im been a hp junkie for a while(:

[MsDoglover13]

did you know that the dinosaur is real kinda hard to belive right i found it out on a behind the scenes video about it. very interesting no robot body it lives and breathes

[101Petercriss101]

@MsDoglover13 Yeah and I'm Santa LOL... I do know the vid that you are talking about though and they honestly could make a real one if they wanted hell clones happen but yeah any ways thanks for the laugh...

[MsDoglover13]

@101Petercriss101 but it does look real and it does seem impossible

[MikeD57s]

Awesome! I love this dinosaur species so much!

[JohnEnglehorn]

" Hi im Chuck Greene " wait chuck greene is in Dead Rising 2 did anyone notice that or catch that saying

[imzii]

Was there on the 26th of last month and it was open, pretty neat. The guy doesn't stand on the inside anymore, and they had one called "topper" in there.

[nicklepa24]

It's back open! It opened today (12/13/10)

[nicklepa24]

@MrKilaklown not this month, but most likely in 2011. Probably March or April 2011.

[tyrannoboy123]

thumps up if you noticed that the brachiosaurus hatchery at: 1:48 is to small for a 2 meter long new born

[MrStevenstacy]

it's gonna reopen in 2011

[GiantEnemyCrab63]

why is it skiddish about having people behind it its a big rubber robot

[1989iw]

the mouth part of the Triceratops reminds me of a birds beak. i live in the UK and one day i wanna go visit an adventure park in the US

[Muppephile]

That Triceratops isnt good enough, it's well known that trike had scaly skin, not leathery, from skin impressions.

That's very dissapointing, all that money and no accuracy other than outward appearance.

Now from a triceratops mummy, we've found out that it had almost crocodillian belly scales, and "scutes" on it's back, and it's possible they had tail quills.

We've known about chasmosaur scales for years now, not good enough universal.

[DinoDude65]

There's also the Ica Stones which show many skin textures of dinosaurs.

[Judes6647]

That animitronic is based off a genetic sub-species from the film called Triceratops horridus. Your not good enough jackass.

[Muppephile]

Triceratops horridus was an actual species, dumbass.

[Judes6647]

Oh, my mistake. Still, Little kids didnt go there to see the realism, they came to see what they thought was a real triceratops.

[JackassMike007]

i doubt it's the same one they used in the first movie

[DinoDude65]

He said that "Chris is a Triceratops horridus". In Jurassic Park, they had a different sub-species of Triceratops, called Triceratops serratus. Damned geneticists always messing with the chromosomes!

[Muppephile]

Triceratops serratus is an actual species, not a genetic mutation.

[KatherineGraceB]

Aw... I remember this! I stood where you see those kids and their mom on the other side of the triceratops... I wish they hadn't closed it!

[MHfan305]

can someone tell me what book on tape they were using for that dailog I heard? Those 2 men talking were from the book. It was when they were in the control center, but I never have heard suck good acting for that book. Anyone?

[aceman4k8]

Ijust went to Universal Studios about a few weeks ago and ppl here are saying there was this Harry potter ride, what area is it at? The lost continent?

[joaquination14]

haha

jist imajine if it was a real trike

it would jist tear up that place up

(including kids)

[Daniel23king]

Was this a good ride

[JonathanDPal]

I really hope when Harry Potter opens up that if they didn't get rid of this that they begin to see so many park guests that they need to open this as an extra attraction.

[DarkReaper1994]

I really wish they hadn't added Harry Potter.

[PalEntertainment]

Why? It's not doing anyone any harm, if you don't like Harry Potter just go to the other islands! lol

[DarkReaper1994]

Didn't they get rid of the Medival Wizard Type Area place to make way for Harry Potter?

[PalEntertainment]

No, they only reduced it in-size. They still have the main attractions from the Lost Continent.

[DarkReaper1994]

Oh, okay. My cousin told me that they got rid of it all together.

[MHfan305]

they got rid of this, and got rid of most of the attractions surrounding the dueling dragons. also the tree restaurant by the dueling dragons. I never went to this part of JP in IOA, so im really pissed about that stupid harry potter shit...

[MoHAlixPr]

you can still get to this part, its just roped off

[MHfan305]

its roped off, because you cant go there.

[quietkrunk06]

@MHfan305 not exactly, the tree restaurant was converted to the Three Broomsticks restaurant. Most of the same food with some added items to go with the potter theme and it's actually a little bigger now and can hold more people. The Alcahmy(sp) bar is now Hog's Head Pub. This attraction closed, but not due to potter. Its scheduled to reopen before the end of the year or in Jan 2011, There were no other attractions surrounding DD it was just the coasters and the unicorn and they are still there

[dinoman96]

@DarkReaper1994 Kinda ironic, considering how Triceratops Encounter just reopened probably because of the large capacity....thanks to Harry Potter. :P

[christopherhodgkiss]

im glad i had the chance to see this, what has replaced it ?

[JonathanDPal]

Nothing, it's still sitting there unused, they don't open it because of the cost.

[RCT3Syco213]

it stinks they got rid of this. I'm not Even a fan of JP and I would like to see this.

[AshleyACDC]

which universal is this ?

[SHKEVE]

The one in Florida

[lilBuLLz89]

whyd it close

[gregmarle]

i went there it craped on the guy lol

[liam123abc123]

spielberg originally wanted islands of adventure 2 be a jurassic park only theme park but universal didnt want it like dat because they thought there wasnt enough fans 2 have it like that

[m3power96]

that would have been amazing! they should have done that!!

[pcoess]

universal was so stupid!!!

[jackdelamare]

Anybody know why they removed this? It's amazed.

[U3X6785]

How would like to be the guy describing this animatron?

[DragonWorship006]

i like the dino's, they look cool

[HeyYou711]

at least the Jurassic Park ride and park will always stay there in universal! They will NEVER clae the ride! I just went last summer, the rides and the whole Jurassic Park park was awesome!

[STARSHIPPRODUCTIONS]

i totally agree i remember this ride and it was awsome the perfect ride for everyone i wish they would bring it back but the sad truth is its gone just like back to the future

[JoeyDeBird]

Jurassic park the ride is gone?

[LOPONUMER]

Oh no, that's not gone.

[LOPONUMER]

Yeah, those where AWSOME atractions. My dad wen there and he said,"Hey kids! Yu wan to go to Universal?" He really wanted to go for the Back to the Future and Jurassic Park stuff, and when some dude that worked there said,"Oh yeah, we don't have that stuff anymore open." My dad said,"Why not? Something got broken?" And the dude said,"No. Becuase it was all bullshit!"

[junglegiant]

They really should clean this ride up or refurbish it a little and then open it back up with some new features and things to make it more exciting,it would be a nice addition to the jurassic park island if they do it right because there arent a lot of things to do in jurassic park.Even though I miss this ride,there is a lot that could be done with it.

[LOPONUMER]

Yeah, like compys that actually walk around the area!"But I would suggest they should be remote controled. Not made to repeat actions."

They should make a ride that was just like what happened in that scene where the t.rex attacked the car!

[hannahfan2]

I was looking for the clip to this! All I could find was the water ride. My dad and I wanted to get on but the line was to long. So we just left. I wanted to see the clip just to see what I missed.

[toamatoro614]

they closed it for halloween horror night 2005 they wanted 2 make the dinosaurs head dangle 4rm the celling and make it look dead THAT SUCKS ITS NOT FAIR

[LOPONUMER]

Yeah, they're pissing alot of Jurassic Park fans of. Including me!

[Shrk782]

and me

[LOPONUMER]

And you...

And my friends...

Wait a minute...

THAT'S IT! I'LL DESIGN THE NEW JURASSIC PARK ISLAND!

[captshak]

BRILLANT!

[LOPONUMER]

Yeah, with those mechanical dinosaurs from the Walking with Dinosaurs live show, and real ferns, cycads, and palms. HELL! I'll even throw in a Jurassic Park coaster!

[mdalsted]

@LOPONUMER That's the spirit! Have at it! Fulfill your dream! Never let it go!

[thekidhypno]

this isn't open i was at islands last week

[Shrk782]

Thats cause they closed this down in 2005

[Avlesa]

When my uncle went he taped it and the man said she was not felling well not working good) and there was tonnes of sparks and the head came off ! It is really funny but when I went nothing happened! :(

[UniversalEvolution]

You have to get that footage from your uncle and upload it on here, lol.

[npyskater]

This opened back up.

I passed by it the other day and people were in line for it.

I'm going to check it out next time I go.

[dooglechops]

It is not open, what you saw is a line to meet the baby triceratops.

[npyskater]

Yeah I went back a few weeks ago and noticed.

Well now I have to renew my pass next week.

lol

[dinosaurthingy]

[dinosaurthingy]

would anyone here happen to have the queue video for either the jurassic park river adventure or this triceratops encounter? I am a huge jurassic park fan and its about the only jurassic park footage that I have not seen. If so it would be greatly appreciated.

[dinosaurthingy]

man, I really would like to see the queue video for this attraction

[ETAndElliot]

I was sneezed on by the Triceratops.

[UniversalEvolution]

It was taking a pee one time we we're there, lol.

[Avlesa]

[dinosaurthingy]

I love how good they themed that queue line, it really puts you in that jurassic park mood and makes you feel like your actually in jurassic park.

[evilperson3596]

Thank You for uploading this! I love the Trikes!

[lauracrocbateman]

they closed it ?????? *runs off crying* i loved that attraction

[randomvidios]

whyd they close it?

[Ricohete]

I've been wanting to see this one, but never managed to get to the park before they closed it down.

[dinosaurthingy]

They should really bring the triceratops encounter back with some upgrades and stuff but the theming of the queue line was fantastic!

[paleojosh]

i remember that part of the park, it was so awsome i wish they would bring it back
