A thrilling river raft ride through primeval dinosaur exhibits.
My friends always ask me,"How wet will i get?"
& my reply has remained the same since Day 1:
"Imagine i am lifting a bucket, filled with 1 litre of water & i will throw the water over your head."

DAY: Friday. TIME: 4.00pm. STANDARD LINE: 85 minutes. SINGLE RIDER LINE: 5 minutes. RIDE DURATION: 10 minutes. TIP: There is a single rider line, even though it is not advertised. Just ask a cast member before entering the queue. TIP: You may take bags on this ride. They won't really get too wet. Think of pouring a cup of water over your bag. If this concerns you, get a locker. Lockers are free for 45mins in front of the Mummy ride next door. The Jurassic Park lockers are not free. DESCRIPTION: Commendable ride. I prefer this raft version over the boat version in the US, however, the drop is just too short. It has even less drop feeling as Pirates in Disneyland. I feel also the rapids could be taken up quite a few notches. It's overall too calm. I prefer the scenery in the Hollywood version. If you go down the drop facing backwards, be prepared for a complete soaking. Otherwise, you will just have a splash (which in Singapore weather, will dry in about 5 minutes!). Good job, but I hope they ramp up the rapids before the official opening. Australia's Wonderland still had the best rapids I ever rode! - Daniel Smith

A great raft ride, with splendid animatronics, although the theming of the indoor part is not in the same class as IOA. The 7m drop is exciting, and those at the side which hits the water first will be soaked. Otherwise we were just splashed (on 4 rides my wife and I were both soaked just once). Note the drop stops very suddenly, and you can be thrown about with some force. Brace yourself. - Martin Rees

Absolutely a much more thrilling version of the Jurassic Park ride. All riders will get wet, with some people get soaked to their skins. The drop was very small compared to that of Jurassic Park River Adventure. Nevertheless, it packs a lot of fun, especially during the fast-current parts and the dark-ride section. A true highlight of the park. Ones shouldn't miss this attraction! - Adriel Tjokrosaputro
