If you've never been to Universal Orlando Resort and you're a fan of the Jurassic movie franchise, where have you been?!

Jurassic World VelociCoaster is just one part of the land at Islands of Adventure. You can meet some of the film's most famous residents with a meet and greet with Blue the raptor, as well as the ferocious Bravo. There's also two rather cute baby raptors to see in their paddock too.

Fans of Michael Crichton's original Jurassic Park novel may find Jurassic Park: The Ride familiar as you take what begins as a rather relaxing boat ride through the herbivore enclosure becomes the need to escape from a ginormous T-Rex!

You can head into the Discovery Museum and see the birth of some of the park's latest inhabitants or take a family ride on the Pteranodon Flyers.

VelociCoaster is the perfect edition to the Islands of Adventure's Jurassic Park area adding extra screams across the lagoon.

The apex predator of roller coasters has finally arrived at Universal Orlando Resort. Are you planning on taking a ride?
