During the Pteranodon Flyers' planning stages there was a lot of contact between
SpectraF/X and
Caripro.
Caripro made quotations and forwarded designs to
SpectraF/X, but
SpectraF/X never revealed the customer. Communication between the two stopped and
Caripro assumed the project was dead.
What happened next isn't completely known. It seems
SpectraF/X started construction using the designs of
Caripro, but never completed the ride. It is thought
SpectraF/X went bankrupt before the ride was complete. Much like
Caripro was unaware the ride was intended for Universal Studios, Universal Studios was probably unaware
SpectraF/X had worked with
Caripro and Universal Studios hired
Setpoint to complete the ride.
This is why this ride may look like a
Caripro built ride even though they are not credited with building it.
