One minute, you’re gliding along in your raft. The next, you’re face to face with a giant T. rex. There’s nowhere to turn. She’s bearing down on you and your only escape from her razor sharp teeth is to take the pitch-black plunge before you. Did we mention it’s an 85-foot drop?
Jurassic Park River Adventure will be closed for planned maintenance starting January 5, 2026 through November 19, 2026. The attraction will reopen on November 20, 2026.
