Heads up, dino-fans—there’s a new, fan-favorite carnivore at Universal Orlando Resort. From the Jurassic World films, Blue the Velociraptor has made her debut at Raptor Encounter in Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

Haven't checked out the new encounter but I'd imagine it's very similar to the previous one which is really fun. Don't skip it!
That girl in the video is a good friend of mine. Neat.
From what I have been told this new raptor is very difficult to operate and extremely hot with no air movement. So I think the job would be fun for about the first 15 minutes and then it would be like any other costumed character outside in the sun.

I'm an idiot. I saw the words "Raptor" and "Blue" and thought they were re-installing Ice Dragon/Hungarian Horntail.

Seriously impressive what can be engineered these days. And hilarious watching kids react to it.
I don't think raptor encounter was there when I went about 15 years ago, I have no memory of it. Looking at videos of the old version, this is many times better. The old raptor didn't look quite right.
