This is the quickest and most concise article I could find on the subject. It seems as though Sue is going to be getting moved temporarily, as well as getting some small changes. Intriguing. Thoughts?

Feeling reminded of Dippy. However noth, the reason for removal and the replacement are much better than in case of Dippy.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Sue isn't even going off display completely. They're giving her a "throne room" in the Evolving Planet exhibit. The Sue Twitter handle changed its name to "Private Suite Haver" in response to that news. (BTW that's a fun Twitter account worth following)
