      About This Attraction

      ICON_Height At least 42" ICON_Water Water Ride ICON_Recommended Best for Family


      Gently glide past an enormous Ultrasaurus. See a baby Stegosaurus and its mother. Watch out for the Dilophosauruses, commonly known as "spitters."

      Suddenly you're bumped off course and into a restricted section of the park… the Raptor Containment Area. The power to the fences is down. The raptors have broken loose! You ascend into the Environmental Systems Building as chaos unfolds around you. The lights are out. Raptors stalk your every move. And your only escape from the terrifying jaws of a towering T-rex is an 85-foot plunge in total darkness!

      Facts and Figures

      • 1.5 million gallons of water are used in Jurassic Park River Adventure.

      • When built, the ride's 85 foot plunge was the largest theme park water descent ever constructed.


      • "There was a quiet calm that led into a scary atmosphere of sights, sounds, & touch as water splashed, teeth gleamed, & blood curdling screams seemed as real as life.  The very end when the giant raptor lunged foward to bite our heads off...it was like we went through the floor of the boat to a dramatic rescue.  The mixture of fantasy with a touch of reality by staying true to the theme of the movie made the ride thrilling and we are ready to ride it again!"
