Ever since the release of Steven Spielberg’s iconic film in 1993, Jurassic Park has captured the imagination of audiences worldwide. The concept of a theme park filled with living, breathing dinosaurs has fascinated generations, and now it has become a reality at Universal Studios’ Jurassic Park attractions. From thrilling rides to awe-inspiring encounters, Jurassic Park offers an immersive and unforgettable experience for fans of all ages.
One of the main highlights of Jurassic Park, located in Universal’s Islands of Adventure, is the iconic rides that allow you to get up close and personal with your favorite Dinos. Jurassic Park River Adventure takes Guests on a thrilling river raft journey through dense jungles and towering waterfalls. As they navigate the treacherous waters, Universal Guests encounter various species of dinosaurs, some peaceful and awe-inspiring, while others pose a more imminent threat. The climax of the ride is a breathtaking plunge down a towering waterfall, a heart-pounding moment that will leave guests exhilarated.
The newest coaster located in Jurassic Park is the Jurassic World VelociCoaster. This attraction is based on the new franchise called Jurassic World. The coaster propels Guests through a series of twists, turns, and inversions, all while being pursued by a pack of velociraptors. With its breathtaking speed and gravity-defying maneuvers, the VelociCoaster delivers an adrenaline rush like no other, making it a must-ride for thrill-seekers.
For the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park, guests heading to Universal can visit the Tribute Store, which is decorated in Jurassic Park theme. Guests can get up close and personal with items that were in the films and have photo moments to commemorate the milestone.
Jurassic Park, directed by the legendary Steven Spielberg and based on Michael Crichton’s novel, captured the hearts of audiences thirty years ago. The original film set a new standard for visual effects and immersive storytelling. Set on the fictional Isla Nublar, the movie introduces us to the visionary character John Hammond (who Guests can meet at Universal right now), played by Sir Richard Attenborough, who creates a theme park filled with genetically resurrected dinosaurs. Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are invited to the park to endorse its safety, but chaos ensues when the power fails, and the dinosaurs run amok. With its groundbreaking use of computer-generated imagery, Jurassic Park brought dinosaurs to life in a way never seen before, delivering heart-stopping action and suspense that has stood the test of time.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary, one famous part of Jurassic Park has been recreated. The scene where the children can hear and feel the T-rex coming closer due to her jello shaking has been revisited. In a TikTok video, the actress who played the little girl does a great job of recreating the original scene, wobbly dessert and all.
