The parasaurolophus in Jurassic Park River Adventure at Universal Studios Hollywood. Despite having submechanophobia and being totally freaked out by underwater animatronics, this parasaurolophus is one of my favorite animatronics in the world. I don't know why, but I'm totally fascinated by it.
When the ride opened, this animatronic originally lunged straight up several feet out of the water, lurching her head before diving back down. Hollywood ended up altering theirs to slowly lift her head out of the water instead. Orlando and Japan still have the original effect and it's incredible to see in person.
It's always a pleasure to see my parasaurolophus buddy!
