The ones we were near didn't really make noise, though, so it wasn't a big deal. I agree that I'm not sure I'd want to sit right by a T-Rex. :) I'm actually not sure if the building replaced anything else or not. From construction photos, it was constructed new (not converted from an existing building), so my guess is that it was built in a previously empty location. It is kind of towards the center of the whole Downtown Disney complex, pretty much right next door to the McDonalds. Don't know if that helps, though, as I don't really know the place exceptionally well myself. In fact, we had a hard time finding the restaurant even with my Dad calling out landmarks over the cell phone.

It's never happened to me, but I'd hate to be at one of the tables where the gorilla is RIGHT THERE and starts to go crazy. Are the tables that close to the dinosaurs as well? I think they'd be fun - at a distance. And taking into account that I've only been to Orlando's Downtown Disney twice and have only a fair idea in my head of what's where, where is the new restaurant located?
