Lets go see a Triceratops

The Last couple weeks have been busy here in Orlando, but this year during busy seasons Universal has reopened one of my favorite things Triceratops Discovery Trail.  

Lets see how it looks!

The Entrance
 The Walk In
 One of the 3 pens
 A food dish but I don't know for who
 The Queue. Take note of the flat green box infront of the screen.
 Animal cage in bushes
 Tractor thing and some chow
 It's chow time!
 A bunch more queue that's closed
 Dino tracker
 Tranquilizer Box
 Some sort of something
 I spot a raptor cage
 Remember that flat green box, well its a control panel and its not very hidden( well they just need to close the case)  at all but it does not seem to be used anymore.  
 You can see in this pick that stuff in the queue sat for a long time and then was moved
 There she is
 "Hello there random arm, I will eat you now"
 Smile
 Sad
 Side shot
You can see here in this blurry shot that the trikes still lift one leg

Overall thoughts:  We are super happy that this is open again!!! But lets us say that we were disappointed that not all the queue was open and by the looks of it it wont be anytime soon.  The thing that made this attraction so special was that it was an experience seeing all the JP tools and science behind the "day to day" operations of JP. We get a little of that not but not much.  We also find it sad because people don't find that interesting, its experiences like this that make theme parks stand out than an amusement park.   We will say that we were happy to see a smaller child very excited to see the trike.
Note: You cannot pet the trike like you were able to do years ago when this was new.
