| has gloss | eng: DINOSAUR (originally named Countdown to Extinction) is a dark ride at Disneys Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Guests board vehicles called Time Rovers and are taken on a turbulent journey through the Cretaceous era. Originally named Countdown to Extinction, the rides name was later changed to DINOSAUR to help advertise the Disney film of the same name during its release year. Though the attraction is now marketed as a tie-in to the film, it does not and never has contained any explicit references to the film. However, it has always featured a more subtle tie-in to the film: the two dinosaurs most prominently featured in the ride are an Iguanadon and Carnotaurus, which were both featured in the film. Scenes from the movie also appear in the pre-show, to help the guests identify the Iguanadon as the film's protagonist. |
