Ranking All The Rides At Universal's Islands Of Adventure: Worst To Best

4. Jurassic Park River Adventure

A slow moving boat ride through Jurassic Park takes a wrong turn and you end up in the restricted section. Will you escape the Environmental Systems building before the the parks vicious residents get to you?

Probably a more traditional log-flume style ride than Ripsaw Falls, Jurassic Park River Adventure is a real treat for any Jurassic Park fan. When the gates open you are welcomed to Jurassic Park and encounter a whole host of dinosaurs.

I love this ride and you don't even get too wet (depending on where in the boat you sit). If you want to get a face full of water then go for the front row. If you want to stay dry then go for a middle row and don't sit on the end.The drop is pretty steep at a whooping 85ft so you build up speed as you plummet.

Even if you aren't a lover of Jurassic Park this is a great attraction and one you should put it on your to-do list.
