UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD JURASSIC PARK THE RIDE FULL
You can read the full press release from Universal below. Jurassic World – The Ride opens in Summer 2019. The old ride closed last September, but you can see what that entire area looks like in this video I made from the park last year. Plus, the aesthetics of the entire Jurassic Park area of Universal Studios are being revamped with a new marquee. There's always the chance they could be holding some info back as a surprise for guests, but as of now, this sounds pretty much identical to the old ride experience – but instead of the T-rex bursting forth just before the waterfall, it now sounds like we're going to see Rexy face off against a new villain, maybe the Indominus rex or the Indoraptor. When the Tyrannosaurus rex begins to battle one of the attraction's new behemoth dinosaurs, the rafts will spill down a treacherous 84-foot waterfall as the sole means of escape. Encounters with such docile creatures as the Stegosaurus and Parasaurolophus will quickly turn awry as predatory Velociraptors and Dilophosaurus begin to wreak havoc, turning guests from spectators to prey. Once aboard specially designed rafts, guests will navigate the lush environs of dense vegetation, traversing new areas besieged with towering dinosaurs meandering just an arm's length away from visitors.
It will feature additional new dinosaurs from the film, lush scenic design, and ground-breaking technology that has yet to be experienced within a theme park. The state-of-the-art attraction will debut an original storyline that takes place within the theme park as depicted in Jurassic World. But while this teaser poster seems to indicate that the entire attraction is getting an undersea vibe, it's actually keeping the same ride track but getting a spiffy new paint job and adding some brand new dinos into the mix.
