Jurassic Park River AdventureFlume rideMinimum height to ride: 42 inches About Jurassic Park River AdventureIf you want some action at Jurassic Park in Islands of Adventure, you might want to ride the Jurassic Park River Adventure. You see, you are invited for a tour of this awesome park. You ride in these boats,witch are on a water route. Your tour starts at Ultrasaur Lagoon, where these gentle beasts roam. After passing Stegosaur Springs, your boat starts heading for Hadrosaur Cove. An escaped Hadrosaur explodes from the water, bumping the boat. Now instead of Hadrosaur Cove, you're going to the Velociraptor area of the park. The fences are down, and no one can save you now! Going up the ramp, two Raptors try I love the pop up heads to attack you, but miss. The T rex cage has broken open, and Spitters attack! What`s next? A drop! The T rex lunges for you, but you escape by plunging down the 85 ft drop. -- Last edited by matt stecker [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from Jurassic Park River Adventure

Readers' Opinions
Excellent concept...very comfortable ride with a great ending. - Christian Baggett What opened as an amazing ride has kind of fallen into disrepair. Most of the effects are kind of working a bit slower these days. Luckily the atmosphere, theme, and final heart-stopping drop make up for most of these issues. 8/10 - Dan Huffman Fair but not the best. A very elaborate attraction though so still worth a look. - Mark Moore The first time I rode this, the AAs were not in good shape. But on my last trip this past May, the AAs moved realistically, and I was really impressed with Jurassic. The T-Rex in particular is awesome. Not as good as Dinosaur, but this is still a must for dino lovers. - Sylvain Comeau This ride is fun but has its issues. The animatronics are just not that great, especially when put up against Dinosaur or Countdown to Extinction at Animal Kingdom. You can see the cinderblocks and base holding the brontasaurus looking creature in the beginning of the ride. More often than not, some of the dinosaurs arent working. Once when I went on the T-Rex "died" as soon as the boat made the left turn. I will say even though the ride itself is better than the one in Hollywood. The Hollywood attraction is better in animatronics and effects wise. This is a ride you can pass if youve been to the park before or looking for a ride to kill time, but for first timers its still a ride you should see. - Chris Shafer love the drop - tyler bell even if the ride didn't have a drop, i'd still love it! it's as if you are really in the movie, and the drop at the end just adds to the ride to make it that much better. and the lines are never too long. even in the busiest seasons. - liz corso The final drop is the whole reason to ride. The theming and animatronics are pretty good but it seems something is always not working on this ride (IOA Orlando). My daughter's favorite movie is JP so we go on this quite a bit when we are there. The Express pass wait is only 10 minutes or less. 8/10 - Noel Blackman This ride has many wonderful levels to it.The entrance to Jurassic park with the actual theme music and lifelike dinosaurs in the cove is one stage. The boat going off course and encountering free, hostile (i.e. water spitting) dinosaurs is another with the T Rex and giant drop at the end the climax. This is an excellant ride not to be missed. - jim mclaughlin A fun ride with cool sceneries. - First Timer I've never had to wait long for this one and definitely enjoyed it. The drop at the end is a nice surprise. - Carl Stovall
