Ok as some of you know, I recently got transferred to the Discovery Center and I am the new Intern Vet helping raise the baby dinosaurs! Now in my few days I've noticed something. We at the Discovery Center will theme till we die. When you enter Jurassic Park Dinosaurs ARE REAL, and we will argue with you about it till either you give up, or we see that you will not give in and will just walk away.
Now as some of you know, every so often a Handler and a escort will come out into the park with a baby triceratops! Usually Savannah! and I've run into the most annoying thing I've ever encountered at my job. Why do people feel the need to attempt to disprove the reality that our Dinosaurs are real? We have heard Ridiculous statements in an attempt to prove that our Dinosaurs aren't real. Just today I had a young skeptical girl searching for Savannah's butthole to prove if she was real or not! Does anybody share in my train of thought that this is plain ridiculous? Or parent's demanding that us Vets tell their children that Dinosaurs are not real and we are just doing our jobs and everything we said and everything we do is fake. (this all has happened to me PERSONALLY, I'm sure my fellow Vets have a library worth of guest situations similar to this.

I'm sorry but the thought of someone looking for the dinosaurs butthole has me cracking up, I mean I can't stop laughing...:lmao:

I don't know why people can't just let their imaginations go sometimes. I promise if I ever come in contact with Savannah I will treat her just like the real baby that she is. I hope she isn't camera shy because I will definitely want a picture with her! :thumbsup2

I'm with you Michelle. I'm an actor too so I have to have willing suspension of disbelief. Also, I want to respect other actors work. Maybe that's why I have so much fun at Ren. Fest's, cause I love interacting with the actors they have playing random people of that time. Ooh, and I hope I get to run into a handler and baby 'tops while I'm there!! :goodvibes
 
On the flip side, I will always remember a young woman who saw one of the dino hand puppets with its handler and said "Is that a real dinosaur?" She was dead serious.
 

oh you got it Tigger, we have stories where we have convinced adults that IoA is breeding modern day dinosaurs :rotfl2: we love it when people end up believing us, because it just means we themed well and made sense of the JP Backstory enough to convince them. Now we do love parents that play along, we do understand that YOU know their not real, and in turn we try to explain to your children that the dinosaurs are real in the PARK and cannot leave the island ever. (to not cause any dramatic evenings, resulting in your child sleeping with you in your bed :thumbsup2 ) As long as you play along, so do we!

And the butthole obsession still has me snickering :lmao:
 
we've wondered if taking a sharpie and just drawing a butthole would convince people *snicker*
 
aren't these genetically engineered dinos? Perhaps the need for said butthole was taken care of by the biologist?
 
Srantin, some people are just like that. When I worked JP River, there was a time when we had a late opening due to technical difficulties. Someone asked me what happened and I said that "it's dinosaur feeding time, and all the dinos have to fed separately." One of my COWORKERS gave me a "WTH? You don't say that to an adult" look. The adult, however, smiled, laughed, and understood that I was playing along and to check back later.

<--Has a slew of themed sayings for when an attraction has technical difficulties.
 
I'm wondering what the record is for number of "butthole" mentions in a single thread. :lmao:

That's right, you have to explain that the herbivores can feed together, it's the carnivores you have to feed separately...adults would know that. :thumbsup2
 
Now you have made me sad to find out they are not real :sad: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

:rotfl: His (coworker) reaction was more of a "just say it's technical difficulties and leave it at that"

Of course, he never got guest positives for thematic excellence either. :rolleyes1
 
Ya we always theme over at the discovery center, even to adults we never stop! (its addicting)
 
My DD loves it in the DC, she will be 12 this year, but gets really into it ,even though she knows they are not real:confused3 .
Wew will be at Universal for 3 weeks so will find out where you guys are working ,and give you a shout.
 
We'll say Hi, but we're not gonna inspect your dino's butthole.

Hope you like your new job. See you in June.
 
I was telling my fiance about this thread and I said the handler should have asked that girl to see her's to prove she was real but then he reminded me you can be arrested for saying stuff like that... LOL :lmao:

:scared1: No that would be too funny but fiance is right :lmao: :lmao:
 
Just out of curiousity are there sepcific times that the dino comes out? My husband is getting a little bit sick of hanging around the Discovery Center for over an hour waiting. (he doesn't love the dinos as much as i do) I get so excited every time an egg hatches that he just sits back and relaxes, but I REALLY want to see the triceratops!!! The few times I've asked about it, nobody can tell me when she (he?) will be out.
 
Huh, that's weird. In the 5 days we were at IoA and USO, we didn't see the dinosaur at all! I mean, we walked through JP a lot (we love the River Adventure) but we never saw the dinosaur that you mention.

That's strange, I would've loved to have seen it. Hey, I'll always be a kid at heart and have tons of imagination in me!
