The Jurassic Park River Adventure in Universal Studios Hollywood has been a hit since it's opening in 1996. Two duplicates of the ride have been made in Japan and Florida, and while I have yet to venture to the land of the rising sun, I much prefer the original to the Orlando copy.
Take a look at the full ride through of the attraction I recently filmed.
Those of you familiar with the version at Universal's Islands of Adventure, here are a few of the differences.
- Only one hadrosaur in Hadrosaur Cove
- A crashed boat is in the entrance to the cove
- An animatronic Dilophosaurus is in the crashed boat across from the Velociraptor pen (replacing the two small dinosaurs fighting over the popcorn box, who appear earlier in the ride in Hollywood)
- A car falls off the side of the wall on the approach to the chain lift, much like in the movie (this was replaced by the falling raptor box in Orlando, which isn't nearly as good)
- More raptors in the chain lift
- A fully animatronic GIANT T-Rex head coming from the ceiling just after you leave the chain lift (this was replaced by the scratches on the wall in Orlando, which just doesn't compare.
Take a virtual ride and see for yourself, and please let me know, if there is anyone else out there that has rode another version of the ride, what you think.
Until then, WATCH OUT FOR THAT DINOSAUR! Just kidding, I'm a kidder.
