Dinosaurs Alive / Shoot the Rapids.

So... just pitching an idea here... why couldn't we combine a crappy ride and a dinosaur up charge to create something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc5xt6hOQqw

I mean we already have the STR just needs some paint... and we have the dinos....

I happen to like STR and I would hate to have to pay to ride it.

But you're not paying for the ride you're paying for the dinos ;)

I will admit, on the back side of STR when you're lazily moving along with nothing to look at, they should have had a dino peeking over the rock face as a teaser for Dinosaur's Alive

I have been on Jurassic Park At ioa. and i dont think just adding some dinos to str will make it as good as jurassic park.

I like like Jurassic Park at Universal too. You would have to re-theme the whole ride. Dinosaurs really don't fit in the wild west theme STR has. With CP's history of theming, they should just leave it as is.

Wouldn't really go with the theme of Frontier Town now would it?

Have you guys not heard of sarcastaball? And What's wrong with dino's in the wild west. They have plenty in common.

Shoot the Rapids is on Frontier Trail, not in Frontier Town.

Frontier Town and Dinos is no more bizarre then the Cowboys and Aliens movie awhile ago.


I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

We've tossed around the idea of adding Paddlewheel's animation to STR before, whIch is a much sounder idea to me. We'd get a little of PWE back, and Dino's could still be an up charge on the island.
