Jurassic Park - The Ride

Jurassic Park - The Ride takes you on a boat trip through a jungle full of dinosaurs. Then something goes wrong: a T. rex has escaped and the only way out is a 25.9-metre drop.

The concept

Modern science has brought the dinosaurs back to life. You sail down a river and see them up close: a long-necked dinosaur towering above the boat and dinosaurs standing in the water. A peaceful cruise, until there is a security breach.

The Experience

The boat drifts into a dark building, where a raging T. rex awaits you. The only escape is down: a 25.9-metre drop that ends in an enormous splash. A boat seats 25 people, in five rows of five. The trip lasts about seven minutes.

You will get wet

Universal Studios Japan warns that you will get very wet. A poncho is no unnecessary luxury.

Use the single rider queue

There is a single rider queue. Handy if you are on your own or do not mind sitting separately.

Buy your ride photo

At Jurassic Park - The Ride Photo you can buy a photo of your drop.
