Jurassic Park River Adventure

Jurassic Park River Adventure at Universal's Islands of Adventure.

Location
Jurassic Park.

Restrictions and access
42 inches; has Express Pass access and a single rider line; there are lockers near the attraction’s entrance that can be used for a small fee, but you are not required to stow loose articles in them — just be sure to note there is no storage on the Jurassic Park ride vehicles.

Two sentence insider summary
65 million years in the making, your boat ride through Jurassic Park will give you an education alright–an education on how to become T-Rex’s next meal! (Now that’s funny right there.) This flume ride starts out immersing you in the natural dinosaur habitat and ends with a plunge.

Fear factor
4 out of 5. The plunge is tall and very steep.

Wait times
Just like Ripsaw Falls, the wait times here depend largely on how nice it is outside. On warm summer days the waits can be 75 minutes or longer. On other days the wait generally is not longer than 20 minutes.

What you wish you knew before you experienced it
If you end up in front, you are probably going to get soaked. If you end up in the back, it may not be that bad.

OI fun fact
When the attraction opened in 1990 it featured the largest theme park water decent ever constructed.
