For those looking for the music, t's also playing in at least one or two rooms of Restaurantosaurus. (Specifically the Rec Room with the jukebox and Gulfstream trailer) The idea behind the music selection is that it's the tracks chosen by the paleontologist grad students working in the fossil dig site. -Rob

My daughters were always scared of the sound effect when you stepped on the pressure pad. The deep roar came from somewhere out of site, and I enjoyed seeing them jump!

Will this be receiving any lighting enhancements like so many other areas of the park?

Oh, so this is like, just for kids... :confused: .. Noted. Seriously, I love this section, and it's the only thing in Dinoland that does nearly put me in the hospital.

I couldn't tell, but the last time we were there in the summer, the rubber floor was looking bare in spots and some of the rope ladders showed some signs of wear.

Bummer. We're going back at the end of March, so it should be back open by then. I wonder what they're doing to the area.

Yup, the whole area is closed. Somehow this thread escaped me and my kiddos we bummed to find it closed this past Sat.

Does this also include the area where kids can dig for fossils? Were there on the 28th and was going to take my daughter for the first time, but the playground was closed...so she ended up digging for fossils for a few minutes.

My kids had a ball in there, and as an adult who once dreamt of being a Paleontologist - I love the way it feels like a dig site. Love the songs, and lots of anoles running around too.

Yeah, the music picks are quite clever. It also is a fantastic playground--Disney's best according to my kids. Hurt my darn LCL going down a slide with Logan though. I'm too old for enclosed slides!
