As a result, many fans wonder if Universal Orlando Resort will update the attraction into a Jurassic World ride instead. As of right now, Universal Studios Hollywood is home to Jurassic World The Ride, and soon, Universal Studios Japan’s Jurassic Park attraction will be rethemed into a Jurassic World ride as well.

This will leave Jurassic Park River Adventure as the only Jurassic Park-themed attraction in the world, and according to an online thread, fans are hoping it stays that way.
