The Ultrasaur Lagoon is drained during the ongoing refurbishment of Jurassic Park River Adventure at Universal Islands of Adventure.
The dinosaur remains in place, but much of the covering along its long neck has been removed. Internal framing and wiring are visible above the exposed lagoon floor and temporary work rails.
