Summary: Through the marvels of time travel, guests are sent back in time to view (and try to retrieve) dinosaurs.  During the pre-show, the Dino Institute Director (played by former "Cosby Show" star Phylicia Rashad) introduces you to your "Time Rover" vehicle.  Your trip is de-railed by her assistant, who wants to send you back to retrieve a live Iguanadon (featured in the Disney movie "Dinosaur").  Unfortunately, your Time Rover ends up in the middle of an impending meteor shower, with only Carnotaurs to be found (you know, those ferocious meat eating dinosaurs).  As you lurch from scene to scene, the tension mounts as the Carnotaur seems to pursue you.  After a terrifying face-to-face encounter with Carnotaur, you make it back to your time safe and sound - with an Iganadon along for the ride!

Comments:  We do not recommend this ride for low-functioning children with autism, or for younger children at all.  The ride is loud, dark, and terrifying.  The sensory input is overwhelming, and children who cannot tell reality from make-believe will be frightened.  The vehicle is programmed to simulate off-road terrain, and is very bumpy and rough.  The most frightening scene is at the end of the ride when the Carnotaur is directly in front of you, roaring and baring his many teeth.  We recommend you have an adult preview this ride to determine if it is appropriate for your child.
