Jurassic Park - The RideFlume rideMinimum height to ride: 46 inches About Jurassic Park - The RideUniversal Studios Hollywood's most thrilling water ride, Jurassic Park — The Ride opened its gates in 1996. Beginning as a gentle raft ride through the peaceful dinosaur exhibits including a 50-foot tall Ultrasaur, the river ride takes a turn for the worse thanks to a stray Parasaurolophus! As you are terrorized by raptors, spitters and the infamous T-Rex, you will also be bombarded with water coming at you from every side. Be prepared to get soaked... all the way down to your 'bones' with an 85-foot Final Splashdown! Notes: A new 'Wetter than Ever' experience was added in 2007 as 60-foot-high water geysers soak all riders after the final splashdown. Additional dinosaurs were added to the final curve before the boat returns to the station. A more And at the Grand Opening, Steven Spielberg was one of the first to ride this attraction, but asked to be let off before the 85-foot finale. -- Last edited by Brandon Mendoza [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from Jurassic Park - The Ride

Readers' Opinions
This ride is a work of art its amazing! I love it - Nicholas Kalscheuer To me the perfect waterride, the effects are great, the storyline is good, and the change from outside to inside is great. Inside is where the action gets very good, and the drop is the best I have ever experienced. - A. P. not a good ride for anyone looking for a thrill. in the description online it says the drop is strait down. if you see it it is clearly not straight down!!! although i was scared the first time i went on it. it was because i was at the begginning of my thrill ride career! Terible. - Corey Nelson There's nothing like the first time you ride this. It's such an immersive experience, and the drop is terrifying, and for that the ride gets its magic in my opinion. After that, it's not quite as wonderful, but still tons of fun. The dinosaurs are great, and now they've made the ride wetter than ever, so be careful with the photo taking. The drop is fun, and the theming is awesome. Bring friends, and you'll be loving it every time. - T.S. Stone A fun, well-done ride. This powerhouse has beautiful theming and details from the original movie, as well as the climactic and long final drop. The tranquil section of the ride has a nice atmosphere, and the part where the boat takes a wrong turn is nicely recreated to look like a scene of the legendary movie. Once the boat starts climbing up the hill the ride gets better and that drop is just awesome. Your likely not going to get really wet on this ride, with the exception of getting splashed once in a while. Unless their are running their "wetter than ever" promotion you likely don't need to worry about getting soaked. I'm a huge fan of the original movie this ride is based on, and this ride lives up to the movie. This is a not to be missed ride. Waiting times are moderate, buy like with Mummy, I suggest getting on this first thing in morning, once the lower lot is opened. It is rare when this fast loading attraction exceeds a 35 minute wait during the day. - Manny Barron Despite some deteriorating animatronics, Jurassic Park - The Ride is able to recreate the world of the movies seemingly effortlessly in a stunning and thrilling attraction. - Jacob Sundstrom really fun ride will definitly do it again - Dan Rosenberg 1000/10 The T-Rex drop and the dilophosaurs were nice, but the raptors really stole the show for me. They're trying to jump into the boat and then there's a Rex coming through the ceiling. Best ride in the park. - Jack Borgeson Been my favorite ride in the park since the ride opened. One new problem with it lowers my opinion just a bit. Feb 2009 went on it and the audio was barely discernible. The audio of the raptors and dilophosaurs ( spitters ) used to really be scary but now it's so quiet all you can hear are the hydraulics and servos making clicking noises as the puppets jump up. The lack of audio makes it a mockery of what it used to be or could be again. I'll always love this ride and go on it but I had to listen to the negative comments of those on the boat I was with and give it some credence. They felt it was a letdown and given the low audio I heard, I think I can understand WHY. - Bryan Fear This ride is definitley the best in the park. It does a really good job of showing things from the movie. The drop isnt that big...but its still fun. Oh but beware...the line can get insanely long...i waited for forever last time!! - Chloe ! Probly The Best Ride At Universal! - Sheldon Gel I l♥ved it. Hands down. I rode it three times, and the T-Rex scared me each time! But it was sorta hard for us to find the enterance... ☻ - Molly R Brilliant! The final drop is amazing. - Stephen Thickett A well-themed action flume ride. Not as Action-Packed as Indiana Jones, or as immersive a flume ride as Pirates, but very good by Universal standards! Great job Universal!!! - Sarah E
