About this Ride

Float through the lush jungles of Jurassic Park on this scenic boat tour that goes terrifyingly wrong. After peaceful encounters with gentle herbivores, your boat is diverted into the restricted raptor containment area, culminating in a face-to-face encounter with a T-Rex and an 85-foot splashdown into darkness.

A clean white armature has been installed for the Ultrasaur's neck and the baby Stego has had its face skin removed to upgrade the head's moving elements. Inside The Magic separately confirmed the entrance roof shingles (in place since 1999) and sections of the ride track are being replaced.
