It’s been over 20 years since the iconic Jurassic Park ride debuted at Universal Studios Hollywood, and ever since then it’s been terrifying small children and entertaining adults with a riotous water ride through an ever more dilapidated park. That’s why it makes a lot of sense Universal Studios Hollywood announced today that the beloved–if slightly worn out–ride will be replaced next year with a brand new water ride based on the Jurassic World franchise! Check out the announcement video below.
According to the Universal Studios Hollywood website, the ride will be high-tech and feature a number of new creatures including the terrifying Mosasaurus: “On this river-raft adventure, get doused as a colossal Mosasaurus dives for its great white shark snack. But the real danger lies ahead when the brutal Indominus rex escapes its enclosure. Be prepared when a 50-foot Tyrannosaurus rex comes to your rescue… right before your final plunge down a treacherous 84-foot waterfall.” Sounds both horrifying and amazing TBH, and we’ll be at the front of that line when the ride opens next year!
