Aw!! Thank you so much! We truly love theses amazing humans and what they've done for the themed entertainment world! Thank you so much for supporting us!
Having worked Triceratops Encounter in ‘99 I can tell you exactly why it didn’t work, and it wasn’t because the guests weren’t impressed by the figure’s animation. The way it was set up made them stand in line waiting through a steamy jungle with lots of sun often for over an hour. To then be guided by a average non actor TM reciting a spiel that despite being written with humor, we were forced to deliver as serious as possible by the “coach/manager” they put in charge of it. Then after spending an hour+ of their day sweating in line a uninteresting 15min walking tour, more waiting before going in to the finale, they were extremely disappointed it wasn’t Pteranodon Flyers:the ride in the sky they expected it was. There were a multitude of things that could’ve made it work, that I as a 20yo could’ve pointed out (and tried to). Such as a better script, better manager/director, making it actual ACTORS, interactive elements in the line, the illusion of seeing more Dinos, or just better signage. But despite 4-5 lateral adjustments to how it was presented how to reach the audience seemed to be a mystery. Perhaps creative should’ve actually talked with those of us who tried to make it work as given. Because some of us bypassed the guest’s disappointment so much they’d often think it was a real animal. If not a dinosaur a Rhino we glued horns on to. (Which also speaks to the audience’s intellect we were trying to reach.) To bad it sat for near 20years abandoned, it was deserving of so much more.
Amazing channel amazing guests
Amazing amazing…
(With happy tears of joy)
