Jurassic Park: The Ride

This is about the current attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Japan.

Info
Jurassic Park: The Ride opened at Universal Studios Hollywood on June 21, 1996 and can be found in the Lower Lot. Stephen Spielberg was invited to ride it on opening day but asked to be escorted off the ride before the 84 ft. drop due to his fear of heights. The ride was so popular that it was replicated at Japan and a similar version exists in Florida. A different version was also made for Singapore.

Ride Experience
The ride starts off with the boat going up a small incline and then going through the doors into Jurassic Park. You then enter Ultrasuar Lagoon and encounter some Ultrasaurus' grazing on plants. You then enter a cave into Stegosaur Springs and see Stegosaurus' on the sides of your boat. You then enter into Hadrosaur Cove and see a Hadrosaur stick it's head out of the water, accidently leading your boat off course and into the Raptor Containment Area! Once inside the Raptor Containment Area, Velociraptors squirt poisonous venom (water) at you. You see an abandoned raft with items from the dead passengers. As of 2011, a Mickey Hat can be seen next to the raft (sybalizing death of Mickey) because of Universal's long rivalry with Disney. Then you are told that you are being evacuated through the Enviormental Systems Building and you start to enter it via a long lift hill. Once you get to the top, a varity of dinosaurs are running around the building. No lights are on (except for the emergency ones) and you are stuck in the dark. A womans voice says that life support systems are failing and counts down from 15. Once she reaches 0, a T-Rex tries to eat the riders by jumping into their face, but instead you plunge down an 84 ft. drop and into a pool of water, getting drenched. Once off the ride, you can buy a photo of yourself on the drop.
