Inspired by Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s Global Blockbuster Franchise, the Mega Attraction Will Fuse 21st-Century Technology and Astounding Special Effects with New Dinosaurs from the Jurassic World Film
“Jurassic World–The Ride” opens this summer at Universal Studios Hollywood (2019)
Universal Studios Hollywood unveiled a “first look” of its eagerly awaitedmega-attractionn, “Jurassic World—The Ride,” as anticipation grows for its grand opening this summer. Leaping from the silver screen to the theme park, “Jurassic World—The Ride” will immerse guests into newly themed environments and breathe new life into dimensional animatronic dinosaurs, including some all-new fan favorites featured in the Jurassic World films from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment.
This ambitious ride is being reimagined under the direction of the award-winning and inspired minds at Universal Creative, the Academy Award®-winning special-effects visionaries at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), a division of Lucasfilm, Ltd., the brand stewards at Universal Pictures and acclaimed filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow and Frank Marshall.
The reimagined, state-of-the-art attraction will debut an original storyline that takes place within the theme park as depicted in the film Jurassic World. There will be additional new dinosaurs from the movie, enhanced, lush scenic design, and updated, ground-breaking technology that has yet to be experienced within a theme park. Universal is claiming that we have never seen anything like this ever.
From top to bottom the ride will be upgraded, enhanced, and plussed up. The aesthetics of Jurassic World—The Ride will be dramatically enhanced, welcoming guests to a reimagined space reflective of the Jurassic World films. A fresh, new entry statement, stonework landscaping and a contemporary redesign of the iconic pillars illuminated with billowing flames will support a prominent “Jurassic World” marquee logo. Remember those videos in the line? They will be switched out for engaging queue-line videos that feature facts and information about the dinosaurs within the ride set the tone for the adventure ahead. Guests will learn more about these imposing prehistoric inhabitants that first roamed the earth more than 65 million years ago.
And the daring expedition begins.
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. 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. 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.
Also updated will be a new, elaborately themed “Raptor Encounter” where Blue, the most beloved and deadly Velociraptor from the Jurassic World franchise, and her beta Raptors will engage guests in daring face-to-face encounters.
In addition, a new interactive “Dino Play” area will incorporate educational components within an inspired space where children of all ages can partake in excavations and investigate giant dinosaur fossils.
No opening date has been announced other than SUMMER 2019. Get ready for adventure folks.
