Now this is how you blend screens with practical effects! That chase scene with the indominus was phenomenal. The whole experience is like a moving 4-D film.

[@kennethrohloff7535]

[@coreymouton3900]

The sets alone dogs our whole ride…and it’s looks like the ride vehicle from Spider-Man ride…with a mix of the Mummy ride vehicle

[@M3m3l0rd12]

It looks so good. Universal really likes using that type of vehicle since it’s also used for Spider-Man and Transformers

[@suninmyeyesyes]

It's a really clever way to blend it all. But still, anything on the screen just looks so fake. It's like the animation is too fast or something. It just looks rubbery.

This was maybe blended better than The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman. That ride is 25 years old and finally has a ride or two that may be blended as well or better. Battle for the Sunken Treasure in Shanghai Disneyland is the other one that comes to mind.

[@TheTacticalTuna]

@@SNS3000I don’t think you understand where Epic Universe is located, it’s about a mile or more from IOA so building a monorail in between would be literally impossible. It isn’t like Hogwarts express at IOA and USF where both parks are right next to each other.

[@SNS3000]

@@TheTacticalTuna Yeah, I guess that would be too expensive plus there is the issue of crossing public roads and I don't know if they own a direct path between the parks.

[@TheTacticalTuna]

@@SNS3000 Well it’s not even a finance issue, Florida wouldn’t allow them to demolish businesses “Icon Park etc” all the way to IOA on property they don’t own or manage. They are extending Kirkman road to lead to Epic Universe but other then that they don’t own anything surrounding the park.

HOLY HELL. As someone who, as a little kid, my weird irrational fear was the animatronic characters in rides chasing/following the ride vehicle and would never want to sit in the back of the vehicle for that specific reason (yes, I love FNAF now as an adult BECAUSE of this lol)….the part where the dino actually GETS UP from the bushes and starts chasing after you legit gave me the spooks. It also totally caught me off-guard how fast the stegosaurus (I think?) swooshed his tail in the scene right after that. Almost reminded me of the whomping willow on Harry Potter’s Forbidden Flight in a weird way. Universal Orlando we NEED this in the United States ASAP

It's pretty much impossible to do this kind of ride on a water ride. They are two entirely different concepts.

[@spinlok3943]

@@DaveSmith-cp5kj I’m talking rides in general at the American Universal parks. Not the Jurassic Park River adventure.

[@RadiantDawn]

Tbh, I'm a tad but jealous. I wish we had something like this here in the US. Don't get me wrong, I know we're spoiled enough as it is and we have a lot of good rides here too, but I always dreamed of something like this. Nevertheless, to give my critical opinion, it did lack some dramatic effect. For instance, the lights on the buildings at the end part when the T-Rex and the other dinosaur were fighting were too bright, and there should have been more props for special effect like sparks and smoke rising, indicating the damage the dinosaurs caused to the power supply of the buildings. I would also like to see them implement a misting/fog system to most of the ride when your vehicle is going through the woodland/jungle areas, perhaps also to hide the parts of the building that are visible towards the ceiling. I also would say that the ride was a little too short. This video itself was only under 6 minutes long and you didn't even only cover the ride, but the outside entrance to the ride as well. And lastly, the LED screens. It's too obvious that they are flat screens. Not very realistic. Unless you were wearing some 3D glasses like on Spider-Man. It should be 3D, or at least better HD quality for those screens. Regardless, I'm stoked about this ride. I would only hope that I ever get a chance to ride it someday. Maybe in a world where you don't have to be a billionaire to be able to afford the fun things in life on top of basic living expenses.

Maybe also a world where China is a safer place to visit

[@BreakingBen4eva]

I was sitting there wistfully watching at the first indominus sighting thinking "man, i wish someday they'd make the dinosaur actually move to come after you... it would be so threatening" and then immediately my wish came true as the ride progressed 😂😂

[@themeparks_todo]

As said by many before: this is exactly how it should be done. It’s as if they put Velocicoaster, Jurassic Park River Adventure, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man and Transformers into a blender…and this is the result. An amazing looking ride that definitely seems to be on par with for example Pirates in Shanghai Disneyland in terms of mix between screens and practical sets and animatronics. This is really mindblowing and I hope to be able to experience this one for real one day. Looking forward to that already!

[@dynamicmediacurations]

Still wish the screens weren’t there, but this ride does a pretty solid job incorporating them. The AAs are absolutely incredible.

[@cmike.skywalker]

I wish they’d do a section for Jurassic World in Epic Universe, I’d love to have these attractions. But I also want them to keep the original Jurassic Park in IOA. Both trilogies have such different dinosaurs, characters, and overall aesthetics that I feel like they can easily have a section for each JP and JW in different parks.

I'm all for immersive screens + animatronics, especially when they look this good! This ride does both exceptionally well 👏 It actually feels like you're being chased by dinosaurs. The fluid motion of the animatronics is the best I've seen on any Universal attraction so far. I hope we can get this one added to Universal Studios Florida/Hollywood US. Incredible!

[@TigressUnicorn]

I really hope Universal get the go-ahead for their UK park and that this ride comes to it. I don't want to lose the classic River Adventure in America, but this is a masterpiece of a dark ride and deserves to be in multiple locations.

[@Emperor_Oshron]

it really kind of refreshing to see a _Jurassic Park/World_ ride that's more in the model of those classic Fantasyland dark rides where you go through an abbreviated version of the movie's plot rather than a self-contained "original story". come to think of it, i'm not sure there are many rides like that at Universal Studios at all.

[@afantasticdream7490]

What I always imagined a Jurassic Park attraction should be like...

[@jbponzi1]

Overall looks fun. Definitely some great AA’s, especially Indominus on the turntable during the chase. The screen balance is good, though it’s still jarring between the physical sets and film. I have had to rewatch the transition from the first scene overlooking the valley and then in to the physical sets. There’s something off about the transition from light to dark, even with the approaching storm. Love seeing the Scoop being used. I souped up update to Countdown to Extinction (still prefer that name).

[@jaykay1899]

Good point. I think it’d look better if the beginning screen was set in night time

[@puddlejumper8466]

Hot Take: I think this should replace "Skull Island: Reign of Kong" in Islands of Adventure. Far superior in every way (though I will miss the giant Kong head). It would be a snug fit, but the attraction can fit in the spot.

[@theweirdone242]

I can't agree more! It would be cool if they could make that whole strip on the lower lot (jurassic world water ride to the transformers ride) and recreate it into the Mainstreet section from the first Jurassic world film. They can take out the panda express and replace that with a Jimmy buffets restaurant like from the film, they can even replace the Character Shop and retheme the building into the Imax movie theater from the film, and have them not only sale jurassic world stuff, but also other popular IP that have also been released in Imax. On the right side of the street, they can retheme the studio scoop into a regular jurassic world ice-cream quickservice. The whole strip will lead guests into this new Jurassic World dark ride(be the old transformers showbuilding). Basically, universal should make that section of the lower lot into a jurassic world land. It also could be cool if somehow they can recreat the monorail and have it take guest up to the upper lot and down the lower lot. Heck, I can even argue that the escalators are already jurassic world themed.

This ride isn't the first to incorporate screens and real life sets. Invasion of the planet of the apes tried to do this in 2022 (tell me if I am wrong). However, the planet of the apes ride was extremely garbage. The screens weren't hidden well except for 2. This ride does it perfectly while integrating some animatronics in it. I was saying that this ride vehicle was a reuse of spiderman and transformers but it really doesn't matter. It gets the job done extremely well without getting too boring. I just have 1 criticism, for screen based rides, cover the ceiling of the part that will have screens. Once you see the top, it really takes you out of the illusion.
