Raptor Encounter — Attraction in Orlando

After a reasonable queue this photo opportunity is a chance to get a picture with Blue from Jurassic World. in case you are wondering, blue is the beta of the velociraptor pack and is easy to spot because... well because she has blue down her side...

anyway, unlike going to disneyland and standing next to some sweaty 25 year old college grad dressed as mickey mouse, this (in essence) character spot features a totaly different 25 year old college grad , but this time, it isnt a sweaty one, because this character is animatronic.

the suit itself is the same basic thing as the ones seen in shows like walking with dinosaurs or used in youtube pranks by very rich companies, and unlike some stupid mascot this character can actual have expressions. well it can roar. it is a velociraptor. they do that. but its a full, life-sized velociraptor with some pretty darn good onboard electronic making it basically the same as standing with the velociraptors from the kitchen scene in the first film.

it is honestly breathtakingly gorgeous. it moves extremely lifelike for the character and, best of all,scares little kids smeggless. what more can you ask for?

if i ever return to america i assure you, even though i'm 17 i will be returning to this. a must see for any fans of animatronics or just the Jurassic...

The actual dinosaur experience was really cool, but the cast members were really mean through the attraction. I felt like I was fat- shamed by the raptor trainer himself. I went to go get a picture with Blue and the raptor trainer called me a “full course meal”. I felt so hurt and embarrassed by that comment I will not go back. The raptor trainer (puppeteer) holding the baby raptor was mean too when I went to pet the baby. She said, “Why would you offer your hand to a dinosaur, imagine what Blue will do when you get a picture with her, get your hand taken off.” Of course I always when petting any animal like a dog or cat, I offer my hand as a kind gesture for the animal to get my scent and get to know me. The experience just felt very hostile and I feel like the “full course meal” comment was very hurtful and ignorant. I would not go back. Of the whole experience, Blue was actually the nicest and kindest, rather than the...

I went there June 27th, 2018.

Blue was awesome. She was very calm and ladylike with me and my friends.

When we were there, we were in line and when it was our time, the handlers said that she needed to rest and the next showing would be the last of the day.

And when we were about to leave, a Photopass photographer just arrived. And when I asked her if she could take my picture, she said I should wait AGAIN in line, so she could take the picture. I decided no. I have waited for more than 2 showings, roughly more than 35 minutes (20 minutes resting time for Blue and half line of the previous showing)

If there were supposed to be a Photopass photographer ther available, shouldn't the photographer be present at...
