Universal Studios Hollywood’s Jurassic Park Ride is Going Extinct

As Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom finds its way to theaters this summer, the dinosaurs aren’t the only thing evolving.

Universal Studios Hollywood’s "Jurassic Park — The Ride" will soon go extinct to be replaced by a brand-new Jurassic World-inspired incarnation, EW can exclusively reveal.

The iconic original attraction, inspired by Steven Spielberg’s 1993 sci-fi adventure that kicked off the now-multibillion-dollar franchise, brings park guests face-to-face with enormous animatronic dinosaurs and was at the cutting edge of thrill-ride technology upon its introduction in 1996.





Now, after over two decades of terrifying attendees, the ride is getting a makeover of Jurassic proportions. “This next-generation thrill ride will be a fully reimagined iteration of the groundbreaking adventure, elevating every facet of the experience,” a press release says of the new attraction, called "Jurassic World Ride".

“With the introduction of never-before-seen dinosaurs, enhanced storytelling, lush scenic design, an entirely new color scheme, and uncompromised state-of-the-art technology, the ride will capture elements never experienced within a theme park.”





"Jurassic Park — The Ride" will stick around until Sept. 3, 2018, before meeting the same fate as the creatures on which it was based.

The associated Jurassic Cove restaurant and Jurassic Outfitters store will close at that time as well, to reopen along with "Jurassic World Ride", which will make its debut in 2019.





In recognition of the legendary attraction, Universal Studios Hollywood has launched a “Countdown to Extinction,” inviting Jurassic fans to experience the ride before it makes way for the next version.

The countdown kicks off this weekend with the immersive Jurassic Park 25th Anniversary Celebration at Universal Studios Hollywood. The three-day event will include giveaways, exhibits, special guests, and a screening of the beloved original film.

Turns out the Indominus rex featured in a recent teaser video isn’t the only Jurassic World cast member coming to the new Jurassic World ride at Universal Studios.

Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and BD Wong will reprise their roles from the gigantic sci-fi adventure franchise, playing Owen Grady, Claire Dearing, and Dr. Henry Wu, respectively, in an all-new storyline exclusive to the upcoming Universal Studios Hollywood attraction.




According to a press release, the actors “will shed light on their interactions with the dinosaurs along with facts and information about the imposing prehistoric creatures that first roamed the earth more than 65 million years ago.”

Jurassic World — The Ride will be replacing the iconic “Jurassic Park — The Ride,” which closed down shortly after the release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in the summer of 2018.




“Jurassic World — The Ride” will also allow riders to see the Mosasaurus in her natural habitat and will have two additional interactive components. The first, called “Raptor Encounter,” will allow the audience to interact with everyone’s favorite raptor Blue.

Meanwhile the other one, called “Dino Play,” is a more educational experience, allowing young visitors to give paleontology a try, exploring and excavating some giant dinosaur fossils.

I have seen the Jurassic World section of Universal Studios many times on Youtube and it's amazing and the Jurassic World ride is also really cool from what I saw in the Youtube video clip. I also like the Raptor Encounter with Blue and it's so cool that you can pet Blue and bond with her. When I first saw the Youtube video I found it funny that some of the park visitors are scared of Blue when she growls but when you watch the video of the Raptor Encounter you can see a little girl having a wonderful bond with Blue and Blue is actually loving to the little girl. It was so cute I couldn't resist watching the video again and again. I would adore this part of Universal Studios because I would LOVE to see more stuff with Owen Grady and since I love Owen Grady so much this section would be perfect for me to visit someday
