Jurassic Park: The Ride - 1997 - Universal Studios Hollywood

[@cblord5]

This was my video shot in 1997 on SVHS. I was concerned about water damage to the camera which you can see during the video. I wanted the ride recorded so much that I took the chance this one time and luckily the ride worked flawlessly. I remember these days so well. This ride was the awesome attraction if it's time.

I went in the summer of 2015 and I remember it dropping one time

[@headfangs]

This is kind of sad to watch, you'd think with almost two decades worth of technology the ride would only look better now, not worse. The snappiness of the movements on those spitting dinos was incredible, the truck actually fell AND it fell at a believable speed, and the tongue action on that t-rex was really lifelike! Until this video, I'd always assumed the clunky movements of the ride's dinos were a product of its time, clearly they're a product of neglect. :(

[@ZLRob]

The big problem with using animatronics, is the fact that they are using them in water. Water naturally rusts metal no matter how well coated/ painted/ and lubed the metal objects are. Unfortunately, over time, attractions like these need major rehauling and rework in order to restore the fluid movements that they once had. I get it. The amount of maintenance work that a ride like this requires is beyond immense I'm more then positive. I rode this back when I was about 7 or 8 I want to say. Right when the ride came out. Watching this video brings back such fond memories. Makes me want to go and visit once again.

[@TheGrayMysterious]

The 2016 refurb made the animatronics somewhat better than they've been the last couple years. Hell, they finally got the falling Jeep working again, and a couple dinosaurs have brand new skins, so how's as good a time as any to go.

[@rickyhyppa7960]

Meh, Disneyland has had this dilemma since they opened in 1955 with the Jungle Cruise, and they're pretty cheap when it comes to maintainence, and although the animatronics in this attraction are far more sophisticated, that's why we pay good money for the pass!

[@matthewdavid3409]

I honestly think with a ride like this there probably needs to be the understanding that the ride is never completely finished. Every year they might as well rotate and give each dinosaur a refurb or a replacement. It makes sense to keep your rides in their prime if you want to have people come visit.

[@WakerOfTheSky]

[@TheOriginalPoon]

@@derekthompson6653 stop it lol The ride was the definition of jank by the time they remodeled. It’s my favorite all time ride and it hasn’t had every effect work at 100% for well over a decade. The last time I remember the Explorer set piece work was pre 2012. It was either commit to a rebranding or destroying the ride and replacing it with something else, which was never going to happen. The latest additions post 2020 make the ride far superior. I miss the aesthetic of a park falling apart but otherwise it’s a very worthy successor that has everything more or less working. The middle portion still is way too quiet even after the new animatronic, but is otherwise a great attraction

[@fletchy40]

[@BluJayMix]

Yep. Honestly my opinion is that putting the T-Rex in front of the water was a stupid decision being as water and animatronics didn't mix back then, I don't know about nowadays just yet. What they could've done is hide the T-Rex in the shadow before the lights turn on and point to her, just like they did in the Japan version. Now THAT was a smart idea. But they can still HANG the T-Rex though :P I have no idea what they're gonna do with the Jurassic World ride, hopefully they don't make that stupid decision again. I'm sure they won't.

Yes, putting the T-Rex behind all the water (waterfall AND fog) was a bad idea.

[@wolftal1178]

This original park ride was so much better than the recent one! The animatronics actually look more realistic than the later ones! It really helps, captured the fear and adrenaline of Jurassic Park.

It’s gone now lmao

[@brianorozco1074]

Well it falls right next to people so they can’t get any of the guests on the ride injured. The one in Universal Orlando Resort also used to have a falling Jurassic Park Ford Explorer but then it was replaced with a crate which is like supposed to have a Velociraptor inside it, so the crate shakes and then it falls until it’s like two inches above the people’s heads

I rode this right after it opened, greatest ride ever

Man the way the explorer falls, almost landing on the boat. So awesome! I wish the Orlando ride had had that.

[@LiLgPnoy15]

dude, this is way better than the upgrade they have now. Can't believe they went backwards with technology. What the hell happened to spared no expense!!!

6:06 me when I realize this ride is better in 1997 than it is 2021

[@kara_keegan_2242]

I wish the ride was still like this, they made it so good that the riders came out looking actually terrified, and that's the good thing and showed that it was successful. The one that just opened you can see all the fake and chunky movements of the animatronics and its not scary. When thar car fell in this one, it almost fell on top of them which was so awesome.if I wanted to go on this ride I want to go on this version

[@noahsecades4241]

It's kinda sad that these Dinosaurs are getting so old that it's hard for them to move as they use to back in the 90s. What Universal should have done is fixed up the same dinosaurs to move as they did back then and maybe put in 1 or 2 new ones. This also could have matched up with the release of Jurassic World, but sadly no. Universal doesn't care about authenticity anymore It's all about the money. Anyway's even if the ride is getting a bit old I still think it's the best ride out there.

[@achickenusingthephone7168]

Noah Secades I remember I was 6 I was her I was really excited to go they looked so realistic I got scared, now that I came back they look like old robots

[@noahsecades4241]

Too bad, seems like Jurassic is starting to rust away, hopefully a refurbishment will happen sooner or later cause Universal is in the process of refurbishing some of their old attractions and is currently working on Water World, maybe Jurassic will be next?

[@achickenusingthephone7168]

Noah Secades hopefully

[@noahsecades4241]

Apparently, Universal Studios refurbished Jurassic Park the Ride back in Early Winter of 2016 but only added a fog machine to the opening scene, this proves that Universal Studios still doesn't care about how this attraction is gonna survive or it's affect on future generations to come, they need to actually give a shit and go in there and fix this mess of a ride before it's popularity decreases to a point where they will be forced to close it down in replacing some stupid ride like Despicable Me. Jurassic has so much potential

[@squidly3270]

they are making a jurassic world ride now but idk if its in florida too but ik its gonna be in hollywood

[@chey6380]

I love how in awe these people are of this amazing technology.

[@retroriley17]

I swear to God if Orlando gets rid of the original Jurassic Park ride I will cry, Universal should leave at least SOME classic attractions. Jurassic Park is timeless.

[@justinmontoya2237]

That Mickey cap @ 3:43 was there when I rode this before it closed for remodeling!! ALL THOSE YEARS

[@kevinwolff]

All of the timing and animatronic movements were so spot-on and spectacular! I never have seen this ride like this before since I first rode it back around 2004. I wish it could still be like that, but now even the spitting dinos don't even pop up - they just stand and spit slow streams while the car "falls" slower than gravity.

[@MrCamel2humps]

That looks absolutely terrifying.... LOVE IT!

[@Leo-no7zi]

Jurassic world is garbage never should of changed it 🤦‍♂️

[@brianorozco1074]

I think lots of people are completely forgetting that the one in Universal Orlando Resort is still themed to Jurassic Park. The only things there that are Jurassic World themed are the Raptor Encounter and the Velocicoaster

[@elvingarcia3010]

@@Leo-no7zi yes

[@jdrexy4459]

They actually updated the Jurassic World ride not too long ago.

[@powerlinepowerlineentertai1712]

I really do miss this version of the ride. It really makes it feel you're in a tropical jungle river with Dinosaurs and then you end up in some building with a t-rex. I hope the one in Orlando stays open so I ride it.

[@AgentSmartnumber86]

Everyone here in this video looks retro and has out of date technology but they look like they had loads of fun and the ride looked amazing I'd trade all of this I have now to go back and experience this

[@matthewvasquez9278]

I'm so thankful my father would take me and my siblings here in the early 2000s, I recall going on this ride alot between 2001 and 2003, car would always fall then

[@Itstephaniie]

I think it's obvious to say that the fluid movements from the ride before has rusted up in such a short amount of time. What went from counting the different types of dinosaurs, my brother and I now count how many times the dinosaurs movements are delayed and if they're even able to blink. Hopefully the "refurbishment" does this ride justice.

[@patrickmcmanus6183]

Itstephaniie It didn't.

[@Itstephaniie]

It didn't! Closed for refurbishment opens with newly painted tracks and I think nothing else. How embarrassing

[@brianorozco1074]

Also I think water could create rust on the inside of the animatronics

[@MatthewSmith-cv7op]

I remember this ride so well. They literally spared no expense.

[@g2393]

There was supposed to be a Jurassic Park themed park in Texas that was going to be built in the early 2000’s but after 9/11 happened some of the inverters actually died from the attack, after that the rest of the investors pulled out and the park was canceled.

[@JeffreyEgan]

I remember riding this as a kid, right around 1997 as well. Thanks for letting me re-live that experience with this upload!

[@sophmatcha]

rip to the original ride 😞 the feeling was always magical once the giant doors open

[@brianorozco1074]

The one in Universal Orlando Resort is still themed to Jurassic Park and still has Jurassic Park gates that open around the beginning of the ride

[@MailboxSmasher]

@@brianorozco1074 that sucks.

[@brianorozco1074]

@@MailboxSmasher Actually I think that’s a good thing because I’ve seen so many people in the comments section saying that they wish the version of the ride in Universal Studios Hollywood was still themed to Jurassic Park. Instead of complaining, they could just go to Universal Orlando Resort and ride that version of the ride

[@shadowedfate151]

Honestly there is something so chilling about hearing that guy on the radio comm scream in desperation "IT'S IN THE BUILDING! IT'S IN THE BUILDING!"

[@brandonpoe1669]

this is how i remember the ride when i was a kid. i rode it again a year or so ago and its so different now no waterfall at the end no fog and no darkness hardly you could see the t rex waiting to engage before you got to the end so it totally killed the jump scare and reveal

[@Trudz1789]

I probably rode this in 2003 or 2004 when I was 3/4 and it’s crazy how vivid and nostalgic all this is to see again, still remember that ride so clearly. I had my face painted as spiderman and my brother was like a blue dragon

[@oneupnerd]

With the new ride overtaking this one, it’s a huge difference. I would still prefer this over the new ride.
