My Tricerator's encounter





.​

Cool! What's this? My 6 year old (daughter!) loves dinos and the triceratops is one of her favorites. Does that dino move? We just decided to go to Universal and IOA a couple of weeks ago so not sure about all the attractions yet. Where exactly is this?

Thanks

That was the Triceratops Encounter back in 2004.
That was one the biggest animatronics I've seen. It was so real that I always heard people asking , "is he real?" Yes, he is very real, the guide used to reply. And people believed it.
They closed the attraction. I don't know why.

That's a shame too. They need to bring this back. I can't imagine why they would have gotten rid of this attraction. Even if it broke down alot, which is the only reason I could fathom, seems like it worked quite a bit. Working some is better than not having it at all. It definitely added to the JP area. And the ride line que was really cool too. Universal needs to stop getting rid of things. Like I was very upset they got rid of the Oak Tavern too. They need to keep everything and only add when they make changes.

Oh man bummed that it isn't there anymore

Thanks for letting me know though so I didn't waste 1/2 a day looking for it LOL

We say Walking with the Dinosaurs last winter - AMAZING animatronics for dinos.

I'm not the original poster, but the dinos are in the Discovery Center in the Jurassic Park area of IOA. It's great for kids -- you can watch a dinosaur egg hatch!
