USA: Universal Studios Hollywood Opens New “Jurassic World – The Ride“ Experience

After a comprehensive make-over of the “Jurassic Park – The Ride” rafting attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood in the past months (cf. EAP News f. 14 May 18), visitors to the park can now enjoy the renovated water ride under its new name “Jurassic World – The Ride”. A number of new life-sized animatronics was added to several scenes alongside the rafting channel; in the all-new “Raptor Encounter”, riders engage with “Blue”, a Velociraptor character from the Jurassic World movies, who comes face-to-face with guests. All new elements of the ride were implemented by Universal Creative in cooperation with Industrial Light & Magic (a division of Lucasfilm), Universal Pictures and the filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow and Frank Marshall.

Close to the rafting attraction, a new interactive play area (“Dino Play”) invites kids to explore and excavate dinosaur fossils. At the Jurassic Café, visitors can savor Costa Rican-inspired cuisine and the all-new tropical “Isla Nu” bar adds to the gastronomic offer in the Jurassic theme area. (eap)
