I always feel that Dinosaur's poor lighting, jerky ride, blaring soundtrack/voiceover, and disorienting strobe effects are purposefully designed to overwhelm and distract you from realizing it's really not such a great ride. I've thought that they could do a better job of bringing you back down after that assault on the senses - maybe some Pink Floyd during the laser light show at the end.
For those playing at home, here's what we've learned from this thread so far: First, DinoLand is what happens when Disney doesn't make good on the Beastly Kingdom at the start and allows those raiders over to Universal to steal ideas for their ark of IP. Second, Disney should not treat its parks like sacred temples (which is a recipe for doom) and make changes that improve the experience (rather than ripping out the hearts of its guests who want change). Third, the last thing Disney should do is give up looking for the holy grail here in lieu of a crusade to save a part of AK that does not fit - if so, they will have chosen...poorly. Fourth, for all those suits over at the Kingdom, the need to improve AK should be crystal clear - but it doesn't seem to have sunk into their skulls yet.
