This ride is very fun. It does a good job of putting you inside the movie setting. The giant hill at the end of the ride is super intense! My only suggestion would be that there be an option for the ride to skip the gigantic hill at the end, sort of how Disney does with Mission Space, two versions of the same ride. That way, individuals who would otherwise injoy the rid except for the hill would be able to see the rest of this cool ride. If you do like big hills than this is awesome!

Fun for the family, you dont have to wear your mask since its outdoors and socially distanced, and you will probably get a little wet, but nothing crazy. My kids, wife and I love this ride!

Even though its dated the nostalgia of it was wonderful. Adults and kids had a great experience and the raptor wrangler and Blue the raptor were doing photo ops are absolutely wonderful.This was a must see for the kids and for olall of us were glad it was a part of our first time here.EDIT:Try to do this at night as well. The darkness really adds to the experience

Ride was true to the move scenes & was a thrilling ride. Be prepared to get drenched almost entirely! If you have a poncho or jacket put it on before getting on.

As a huge fan of the franchise I loved this ride and while, yes, the technology is outdated, it feels like a true blast from the past and a wonderful nostalgia fest.. Brilliant water ride too.

This ride is a classic and definitely one of the best! The final drop is fantastic, and the whole experience feels pretty realistic.

A classic that still gets you excited. Hear that roar of the dinosaurs and its fun for all ages. Make sure you put on your rain shoes because theres a good chance youll get soaked on this water attraction. (A perfect benifit under the hot Florida sun)

Great ambiance they start you with music . You will get wet but not to much great ride.

The ride is great, but.. Note to all. During COVID, this ride soaks your mask and its a little rough. Instantly cant inhale or breathe through the mask. I wish that I brought disposable masks just for the water rides. If you only have a single cloth mask, the staff tells you to keep it over your mouth and nose at all times, but you literally cant after getting off this one. I think this ride should be closed if they cant offer cloth masks at the ride. Almost everyone getting off didnt have a mask on because they couldnt.

Its one of my favorite rides! Perfect for movie needs and thrill seekers a like! It starts as a calm boat ride but then takes a wrong turn! Its so fun and a great way to beat the heat.

You get to meet a real life blue the raptor. You also get to go into the real Jurassic Park with life-size dinosaurs in a log flume type rode with an 85ft drop that has a scary surprise at the end.

Review №17

Highly enjoyable. The entire ride is very chill and smooth, with only one major drop towards the end and, because of that, I definitely recommend it to those who might not be fans of roller coasters AND those who dont mind getting a bit wet.

Review №18

One of the must see rides of Universal Parks. It is also one of the oldest rides though so the animatronics are slowly rotting and the tide has technical issues frequently. Hopefully the ride shall continue to be preserved for future years.

Hands down the best ride in Orlando, Ive been on it dozens of times and it is always enjoyable. The robotics are top notch, the details are perfect.

Review №22

Worth it if you dont have to wait more than 20-30 minutes or if you are in need of a refreshment. Ride is calm until the end, where you get wet for sure!

It was good, my daughter was really afraid of the T Rex animatronic in the end of the ride, so maybe too much for some children

Its pretty boring and way out of date but the final drop is still one of the best parts in the entire park.

Could use an update by now but still one of the greatest rides for young boys. My kids loved it, And it definitely boosted their dinosaur obsession. You dont get too soaked. Perfect

The final drop gets me every time. You can get pretty soaked on this ride depending where youre sitting and you get to see some cool dinos.

Great ride visiting a lot of the dinosaurs of the movies. Awesome drop at the end. Gets you wet enough to help you forget about the Florida heat and humidity for a while.

Review №39

This ride was very surprising to me. I do not regret getting on it, it was a lot of fun. It is basically a very relaxing ride on water the whole time, except that there is a drop at the end. I dont like big rollercoasters, but there is a place where you can watch this rides drop (and get close to it in order to get splashed) and I had seen it and thought it wasnt too bad. WRONG! The drop was definitely intense. But considering that the rest of the ride was super slow and relaxing, I actually think that it is a fun surprise and, since its only one time, it isnt that bad. Depending on where you are sitting, you could get just a little wet or completely soaked. I got just a little wet but my boyfriend got soaked. Other than that, during the ride, you get to see dinosaurs, nice decor that is very reminiscent of the movies and get splashed with a little bit of water. It was a cute and interesting ride, although I feel like it does look at little bit dated, the dinosaurs look very much like robots. Maybe it if was more recent they could have looked a little more realistic. Still fun and would recommend. Plus, I dont know if there is usually a long line to take this ride, but when we went it wasnt that hot outside (about 18 degrees) and there was no line at all! So definitely a plus.

Final Drop is dope. Marvelouswe have visited this in off season so it was only 10 minutes wait for us. Lucky us :) as people have waited even 2-3 hours for this ride in peak seasonEach boat holds plenty of people. when it starts, the Jurrasic Park theme music, and when the gate opens, you get goosebumps. The beginning is a little boring, where dinosaurs are emerging from water or bushes, but the atmosphere is great and kids seemed to love it. you will feel the fire heat. You get squirt by water no matter where you sit. Then after you go off the path into the raptor containment area where you can hear a panicked voice telling you to turn around. The tiny dinosaurs are eating an employees shirt as you go underneath a shaking cage that emits enraged velociraptor sounds.The last corner takes you straight into the path of a T-rex that looms out of the fog. The ride eventually raises you up to the top of the control tower and from there to escape the Tyrannosaurus Rex you are dropped from a height with a splash. the climb is in totally dark so you dont know how big the drop would be. that was fun. The finale is fantastic and what really makes this water ride special.I have read many reviews where people are saying you ll get wet/soaked completely. See if you are front, chances are you ll get wet, but not completely and no, you wont be soaked in water. I was at 3rd row and there was just a splash of water. I have carried our ponchos with me but if you dont carry, its still fine.There is a great observation area outside the ride at the water drop and i have taken few beautiful shots of it

I loved the ride. Be prepared to get wet. Extra pair of clothes would be helpful. The drop is super thrill.We have thoroughly enjoyed the ride. The music really gets you in to the mood. Sudden fall is the best part of the ride. lines are huge I have been to disney twice and never have i ever seen this place less crowded. Using fast pass to reserve a slot would save some time.

My boyfriend and I rode this twice during our stay and it is by far my favorite ride. I loved it. They also take a picture during the drop at the end that you can purchase. You do get wet depending where on the boat you sit.

Review №54

It is pathetic that after having been sprayed upon by their puppets they try to charge you to dry off. Truly pathetic that they would try to extract more money from you in this way.

Its normally a great ride, but the last time I rode it the sound cut out at the ending sequence and a cast member was saying something over the speaker. It completely ruined the ride.

Everything was ok, keeping social dispersonnel. the use of face mask and hand sanitizer, all was well handled by park personel.

Review №61

A great attraction that has a minimal scare with the final drop. The story is good as you float through Jurassic Park towards the final splash down drop. If you are in the first three rows; you will likely get wet. We were in the fourth row and barely got a splash, since we didnt want to get soaked. The drop is not as bad as it looks.

Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies, and this ride lived up to my expectations and exceeded them. I loved every second of this ride, and my friends loved it too. This was one of my favorite rides at Universal Studios, and I cannot wait until the next time I visit to go on it again.

Great ride for little and big kids. One time in the back we got a little wet and one time we got a little more wet. Each time we have ridden we didnt get drenched. The last drop is lots of fun. I wouldnt say this ride is scary to any age child. There are two drying stations after the ride, one before the gift room and one after.

I liked the one in Singapore more as they focused more on the story in that one. This one did not feel the same until the very end, which was the only good part of the ride in my opinion. Prepared to be soaked if you sit in the first couple of rows!
