Over the years, the face of the parks we review have changed significantly, but not everyone takes kindly to these changes. Rides and shows come and go, but while some attractions need more than a little sprucing up (Rest in pieces, Twister!), there are often closures which can baffle the park-going public. Some are merely inconvenient, but others can bring out anguish and heartbreak! This episode, we're counting down the top ten most heartbreaking closures, the ones that brought petitions and anger straight to Guest Services / Guest Relations!

Episode 97 - Theme Park Reel-view #5: DINOSAUR
Hey there, folks! SurferClock and TAP-G here to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Because it's been a while, we wanted to review another of the many films that went on to inspire (or change) theme park attractions. Today's Reel-view will have you opening the door and getting on the floor, because today's review is the 2000 film, DINOSAUR. Disney's CGI darling was a relative success at the box office, but does it hold up and, more importantly, was it worth changing the exciting "Countdown to Exctinction" to the considerably…less so "DINOSAUR?" Find out by giving this reel-view a listen by clicking below!
