The concept

You hang in a little seat beneath the wings of a pteranodon, a flying reptile from the age of the dinosaurs. The figure's wings are 3 metres wide. Real pteranodons had a wingspan of around 5.5 metres.

The Experience

You glide slowly through the air beneath a track, swaying gently. Below you lie the greenery and bustle of Jurassic Park. There are no sudden or scary movements.

Especially for children

Are you taller than 1.43 metres? Then you can only ride if you are accompanying a child between 92 centimetres and 1.43 metres tall.

Lovely view

From your seat you look down on the bustle of the park below you.

Combine with Camp Jurassic

The Camp Jurassic play area is in the same themed land, so the children can carry on exploring after their flight.

Visitor information

You must be at least 92 centimetres (36 inches) and no more than 1.43 metres (56 inches) tall. If you are taller, you can only ride as the companion of a child who meets the height requirement. Children under 1.22 metres (48 inches) must ride with a supervising companion. According to Universal, the attraction is best suited to children up to the age of twelve.
