Things I noticed At Universal Today 2.14.03

[USO2003]

Citywalk:

Fossil still has the construction walls up but is open.

A bunch of tents were up, I assume for Reggae Fest.

Universal:

Shrek has got more Construction Walls Up and they have added posters that tell the story of the future attraction.

The Stage was being constructed at the old Boneyard for Mardi Gras.

Second Hand Rose in New York was closed.

That construction wall near Jaws was still up from last month.

BTTF Store was still open from it's opening 2 weeks back.

Animal Crakers was open.

Islands of Adventure:

Dueling Dragons was reopened since it's paint job.

Triceratops Encounter was closed/removed all signs for it are gone.

Thunder Falls Terrace was still closed as always.

---This is all the new and updated information I seen today.---

Wow, this is big news! Is it really gone forever?

That wouldn't surprise me actually. I don't think the attraction ever really caught on with the public. Still, it was a brilliant bit of work and if it's really gone I, for one, will miss it.

Any confirmation/denial from the insiders?

It's not on the Park Maps, The sign with the Trike Skeleton is removed, and a sign at each entrance said "The scientists have completed their study on the Triceratops" so it seems it is either gone or going to be closed for awhile.

Any talk on what might be done with the dinosaur that was used in this attraction? I understand that it was quite a piece of work.

Dinosaurs, there were 3 of them. Rumor on www.screamscape.com said they were going to be added to the River Adventure Ride.

Neither from me. I didn't even know about this till USO posted. I *rarely* go through JP anymore, so I would've never known.

I'm sad the Triceratops Encounter has closed I have some great pictures of my boys with Topper and Sara(?) I think that was her name. What was the third ones name? This area is so large, I wonder what will go there. Oh well, add another to the list

The last trike was named Chris.

Were any of the fast and the furious cars still on display. I am going in a couple of weeks and would really like to see them.

I wonder if this is where the JP Jeep Ride will go?Perfect location and this is just what JP area needs.Now all they need is to bring back the Island Skipper Tours and I am all set!!

 

[the Dark Marauder]
