Jurassic Park River Adventure is always on our to-do list when we go to Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida. One of the nostalgic rides that opened with this park with a great 85 foot drop drenching you especially if you are in the front row.
Experience:
You enter your raft (make sure items that shouldn't get wet are tucked away), your raft goes up a small incline followed by a small plunge. It then enters the Jurassic Park Gate.
In the Ultrasaur Lagoon, you encounter a big Ultrasaurus/Brachiosaurus which raises its neck high above you, then slowly lowers it back near the water to feed. Two Psittacosaurus in the lagoon graze on plants and drink from the river nearby. The raft goes through a cave with water trickling down its sides. You enter Stegosaur Springs, a "volcanic" area like Stegosaurus South in the novel. An adult and baby Stegosaurus stand on either side of the river.
The raft begins to head toward a part of the park known as Hadrosaur Cove. A Parasaurolophus pokes its head up from the water and shoots water from its nose onto guests. Seconds later, another startled Parasaurolophus jars the raft, causing it to drift into the Raptor Containment Area, which is shown to be heavily damaged. Jurassic Park Animal Control addresses you through loudspeakers, telling you to stop the raft and get to a safe place.
Off in the jungle area to the right, Raptors can be heard rustling the bushes and plants. The raft passes a replica of the Raptor Pen from the film, and branches move, simulating the creatures attempts to escape their confines. A large hole is torn in the wires of the fence. Two Compsognathus/Procompsognathus are seen fighting over a shirt, and the boat is seen that Animal Control sent to guide you towards a safe area; the Compsognathus have apparently attacked and killed the crew. The raft heads toward the water treatment plant, where riders see a Velociraptor run into a dark corner. A large crate with something snarling inside hangs overhead about to fall.
You begin to slowly head up a steep hill into a large building in silence and darkness. You enter a dark tunnel with several pipes near the ceiling. To the right of the riders, there is a shadow of two raptors growling inside a pen. A Velociraptor now jumps out of a dark corner and begins squealing and clawing at a gate sparking with electricity. Another raptor is seen jumping up from a control panel. As the raft follows a short drop and a right turn, sirens begin blazing loudly due to an evacuation. only to stop seconds later. Suddenly, a loud Dilophosaurus squeal is heard, followed by a snarling Dilophosaurus. A loud roar then can be heard, and a large three-fingered claw mark can be seen ripping through the wall. Moments after, a few Dilophosaurus jump up beside the raft, spitting their "venom". Seconds later, the head of the Tyrannosaurus rex appears in front of you, roaring and growling. It bends over snapping its jaws and then raises its mouth towards the ceiling as the raft plunges down an 85 ft drop as your ride photo is taken before you get soaked. Source: Wikipedia
