Jurassic Park

Attraction Fact Sheet

Jurassic Park at "Universal's Islands of Adventure®" will bring guests face-to-face with "living, breathing" dinosaurs. The creatures will respond to visitors by blinking their eyes, flinching at their touch and in the case of Spitters, actually spitting water on guests as they make their way through the lush, tropical island. Inspired by Steven Spielberg's Universal Studios film - the most successful motion picture of all time - this adventure contains the most life-like animatronic creatures ever created. Some will delight. Others will threaten. All will amaze guests with their realism, swiftness and natural motion.

Jurassic Park River Adventure

This phenomenal interactive ride adventure thrusts guests into the living, breathing, three-dimensional world of Jurassic park, a land where stormy skies are pierced by colossal five-story dinosaurs that move within inches of awe-struck faces and a world where riders discover that they have become prey for the terrifying Tyrannosaurus rex, as they are unrelentingly hunted by the most fearsome creature ever to prowl the Earth. Moving faster, more fluidly and more realistically than any previous animatronics, these beasts come within inches of guests' faces. Guests not only get a frighteningly close-up look at "living" dinosaurs, they also experience a treacherous 85-foot plunge, straight down the longest, fastest, steepest water descent ever built.

Triceratops Discovery Trail

For the first time ever humans can pet a "living" dinosaur. At the feed and control stations, trainers will teach guests the family history of the resident 24-foot long, 10-foot- high Triceratops. The trainers will explain everything from the creature's emotional state to his feeding habits. Incorporating state-of-the-art principals of hydraulic physics, mechanics and space-age robotics, this exhibit contains the most advanced animatronic animals ever created. The creature's responses to touch will include realistic blinks and muscle flinches.

From the skeletal remains of a massive T-rex to the laboratories where biochemists develop the technology to bring these prehistoric creatures to life, guests have never been this close to the mysteries of these ancient beasts. This interactive discovery center will allow guests to watch a seemingly real Raptor being hatched in one of the many demonstration areas.
