Jurassic Boat Ride Pigeon Forge - Is It Worth It?

[@davidpuente3823]

This ride should be free for residents and 5 dollars for the rest because all you get is broken 80s hydraulic cinematics and sounds of a freight train.

[@arkanyapeters1669]

David Puente you mean 90s because the ride opened in 1992.

[@pikaperishock1478]

It's probably pneumatic but the sounds of the compressed air but they are still very loud and very broken sadly

[@kristinaautry5553]

Thank you for saving me $15. 😂

14... lol

@@JPVideos81 Don't shortchange yourself. I was rounding up. Lol

[@hawksgoated3613]

it was actually worth the experience for me because when i was 13-14 i went here my friend was terrified of dinosaurs and at the end the t rex was right next to him and he was screaming and crushing me against the boat to lean the other way

[@thejmackproject]

I rode this years ago and was very disappointed for the price. Great review thanks for sharing 😎

[@lisacc1470]

hi,, I always loved the Jurassic park movies, but for this ride, the price is abit high but glad you and daughter had fun going through it.

[@mountainwoman5713]

Love Tennessee ❤️Smokey Mountains camping for years . A day at pigeon forge and one at Gattlinburg . Miss those days . Thank you for the memories and the dinosaurs!

[@Sandy-is2kf]

Great Video JP, we love the relationship you share with your daughter. I am 59 and I was a Daddy's girl, I miss him something fierce. He has only been gone 3 years. Your daughter is adorable JP. Thank you for the video, I would probably skip the ride but my 14 year old would want to ride it. LOL We love that part of Tennessee so Thank you again so so much!!! Stay Safe

price a bit high but spending time with your beautiful daughter is priceless :) keep up the good work

[@lilyd1010]

JP, I love when you take us on your family adventures. Your daughter is too cute, she has your smile . Love seeing them. We have a family member who can't get out of the house - these videos really help him to feel like he is part of the outside world. I'm taking your Disney video to the old folks home on Saturday, they'll LOVE it. Thank you for all you do & sharing it with us. :)

The sounds reminded me of the old Godzilla movies! Oh no! There goes Tokyo!

Wasnt too loud for her?

Like you said not bad for a roadside attraction. .Kids that like dinosaurs should really enjoy this ride Lili is so cute...having a good time on a rainy afternoon. Thanks for sharing the fun.

[@gilsongallego2328]

How crowded was pigeon forge ?

[@JPVideos81]

Not too bad, this was back in February. Gatlinburg gets more crowded though.

[@user-wm4je4ct8y]

I liked it. It was different. I like the water, the steam as you go in. I think it gives you an appreciation of how the world was a long time ago.

[@sylvadoandstuff5224]

I think you are talking about the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios

[@pungaboy]

Your not gonna mention that the majority of the dinosaurs look like the withered animatronics from fnaf 2

[@spacemandudley6237]

Rode it a few years ago...enjoyed it but the price is too steep for the experience.

Too loud but still entertaining

The people in the boat in front of us and the ones in in back of us were very disappointed, Both boats the occupants went to the Ticket area and wanted their money back, I have no idea if they got it back but I wished we would have asked for ours back, the ride was veryyyyyy disappointing especially for the price. Very Disappointing.

[@JPVideos81]

You need to have low expectations to enjoy it. It's not Disney.

[@docbrown6550]

@@JPVideos81 I agree with that but the Price you Pay should reflect the Enjoyment of the Ride and they are wanting wayyyyy too much money for that Ride.

Great video. Your daughter is braver than i am, i went on a ride in Disney's Animal kingdom at the time was called countdown to extinction which they now call Dinosaur i closed my eyes pretty much through the whole ride. Look forward to your next video.

More like 8-10 bucks

[@adamtereska8734]

Video was great as always. As you said, some of the animatronics not working and some were, the maintenance department needs to get on the stick with repairs. $14 for a dark ride that isn't 100% is way steep. Great video as always.

[@JPVideos81]

I think they are avoiding repairs to save more money. Kinda like those cheap indian motels.

[@pokemonhunter9409]

So, I wanted to add my comment before I read any of the others, let’s see how far off I am (no comment JP! Lol). You paid $14 a piece which is roughly $3 + a minute. Time with your daughter priceless, time on the track boat....mmmmmm 50 cents a minute, for both of you. I would give it 2 of 5 stars, just for the fact that all the exit signs is very exciting wondering if you’re going to get stuck in there any second! Lol. Would probably ride if I was there, but wouldn’t go out of my way. Thanks for sharing and gave thumbs up as always!

It’s fun tho I just mow the lawn each day and drive up there from Gatlinburg and ride it

Hi! I wanted to say that this dark boatride was good in the earlier 2000, I remember it having more animatronics...but age and wear and tear and nobody taking care of the animatronics brings it down. Also I can SMELL this ride, the old water and rubber. There used to be a raptor instead of a diplosaurus and a baby, and a t.rex head came out and roared.

[@JPVideos81]

Its been updated for 2020 with most animatronics working now.

[@TarkTheWild]

@@JPVideos81 just saw!

[@edithdavis2848]

Your right Had to turn volume down . Was interesting think it could have been a bit more coordinated, they need to get it all working. The price is to high if you only get to see parts of it working. Actually price is to high any way.

For that price it should be top notch.

If they do some upgrades, it will justify the price.
