Secrets/Tips and Tricks:
- When entering the video viewing room, make your way all the way across to the double doors on the other side. Fill in all available space!
- Front seat is the smoothest, back seat is the wildest.
- When the ride stops in the dark, make a crazy face as your picture is going to be taken when the Carnotaurus roars loudly!
- This ride exits into a gift shop that has dinosaur toys and artifacts.
If you have little ones who don’t want to ride, this is a great time to take them to play in The Boneyard.
