Will the T-Rex Cafe ease the pain of Downtown Disney changes?
Screamscape.com has some interesting details via a press release on what we can expect to find in the upcoming T-Rex Café set to open this fall. This is the first example of what is to come from the new Downtown Disney, so a lot is riding on this newbie.
Guests will be greeted with life-size animatronic dinosaurs that live among cascading waterfalls, bubbling geysers, a fossil dig site and much more. There will be a meteorite shower every 20 minutes and an aqua bar complete with a 6,000-gallon shark tank and a large octopus with mechanical tentacles. A full-size skeleton replica of Argentinosaurus, one of the largest of the dinosaurs and copied from a museum specimen about 125 feet in length, looms over the entrance, joined by a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton.
The only reason I am posting this is because I want to read what you the fans think of what you see hear. The cynical Disney addict has been saying that this will be no more than a re-themed Rainforest Café. But this looks a lot more elaborate than your average Rainforest and much more interesting as well.
Yes, the animatronics could be ciraca-1964 and turns this into a giant cheese-fest, but let’s stay positive. I mean a shark tank is cool in almost any form…unless this turns into some sort of Nemo-ized shark tank…
