The reimagined ride takes the Jurassic story to the next level. Get ready to get up close with the "colossal Indominus rex" and being a water attraction you can also expect to see the "magnificent aquatic Mosasaurus".

Jurassic World - The Ride will also feature some of the stars from the film franchise including Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and BD Wong. The trio will "reprise their roles as Owen Grady, Claire Dearing and Dr. Henry Wu" as visitors set sail on a relaxing journey, but things don't quite go to plan.
