RIDE DESCRIPTION
QUEUE AND PRE SHOW
Guests enter through the Jurassic World gates and into a series of switchbacks
The queue is designed to look like Isla Nublar from the film
The queue is covered with posters and billboards explaining the dinosaurs at the park
Overhead, video monitors display "Jurassic World Network", the island's TV station which shows Dino facts as well as interviews with characters from the movie
As guests approach the loading area, smaller monitors display safety info before guests board their boat
RIDE
Each boat is capable of holding 25 people
The ride begins by climbing an initial lift hill, and the boats are taken to the Mosasaurus Aquarium Observatory, encountering a Mosasaurus
Guests then go to a lush, tropical area, where they find a mother Stegosaurus and her baby and encounter a Parasaurolophus before entering Predator Cove, where the riders see carnage has ensued after the Indominus rex has broken out of its paddock, along with the Tyrannosaurus rex and some Dilophosaurus
Riders overhear that the ACU (especially Dr. Wu) is being called in to round up the escaped dinosaurs, passing by a damaged Gyrosphere and a pair of Compsognathus / Procompsognathus fighting over a tourist's hat
Claire Dearing comes in over a monitor and tries to comfort the riders, but her feed breaks up before riders traverse another lift hill, where they see the "Indominus" itself spying on them through a hole in the nearby wall
Owen Grady then patches in and advises the riders not to move out of the boat. He then sends Blue the Velociraptor to help the riders escape
As the boat nears the top of the lift, a Velociraptor holding a chewed wire lunges at guests through a hole in the ceiling
Following attempts by Dilophosaurus to spit venom (actually water) at riders and a close call with the Indominus, the riders meet up with Blue, who guides them to an exit, but the Indominus has made it there first
The Tyrannosaurus then appears and attacks the Indominus; their subsequent fight buying riders some time to escape
The boat then goes down a drop of 28 yd (25.6 m), splashing all guests with water once it reaches the bottom and ending the ride
The riders exit the ride into the gift shop
TYPE - Shoot the chute
Lift system 3 chain lifts
Drop 84 ft (26 m)
Duration 7:06
Height restriction 42 in (107 cm)
HISTORY
The ride was announced on May 10, 2018, by Universal Studios Hollywood officials during a 25th anniversary celebration of the 1993 film Jurassic Park, directed by Steven Spielberg based on the 2015 film Jurassic World and its 2018 sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Industrial Light & Magic collaborated with the design team at Universal Studios Hollywood to create the creature and its environment
A 3D effect makes objects in the foreground move faster than those in the background, a technique that gives the Mosasaurus a realistic appearance
The attraction also features larger dinosaurs than Jurassic Park: The Ride, and new animatronics allow the dinosaurs to move better than their predecessors
The attraction officially opened on July 12, 2019, without advanced notice or fanfare
It previously had a soft opening for friends and family of Universal employees
The official opening coincided with a number of other Jurassic World-themed attractions adjacent to the ride entrance
Guests can take part in the Triceratops Encounter, where guests interact with Juliet, a Triceratops, and Dino Play, in which young visitors excavate large dinosaur fossils
Guests can also interact with baby Velociraptors like Sierra or Tango along with their trainer
Jurassic Cafe introduced a bar called Isla Nu-bar, named after the series' fictional Isla Nublar island
