Ride[]
You first start off at the Jurassic Park gates. Then you will go on to a raft, and hear a narration by Richard Kiley. You will then enter the gates and go into Ultrasaur Lagoon. The Ultrasaurs (Brachiosaurus) are at least 4-stories high and will spray water at you through the blowholes at the top of their heads. The raft will then go through a waterfall, and when you come out you will enter Stegosaur Springs. A baby Stegosaurus will poke it's head at the visitors and the mom will watch. The narration goes on and you are about to enter Hadrosaur Cove. Then a Parasaurolophus knocks the boat off course and a Psittacosaurus watches you go into the Raptor Containment Area. You will hear a Tyrannosaurus roar and plummet a car into the water. A JP crew is shouting "They have to get out of there NOW!" and as soon as he finishes his sentence another Tyrannosaurus roar can be heard. You then see an overhead delivery of a velociraptor being lowered but stops abruptly. With that, you are roughly transferred on a conveyor belt and start the big climb. A scientist shouts out "Oh god, ladies and gentlemen we are going to try to evacuate you on the level platform ahead, please remain seated." And with that, velociraptors start appearing breaking the sides of the building. There are two, the send one seems to be chewing on the wires causing the next scene to have the lights broken off. You then go into a very small drop. Now, you turn and above you is a T-Rex roaring at you (The dinosaur seems to have bit into the roof). Then you face a dilophosarus bursting water to the riders. Now you are face to face with a Tyrannosaurus Rex where you will encounter a lady who counts down from 10 seconds leading to your emergency exit. Right at one, the Tyrannosaurus makes his way to eat the audience but they make a 84 foot plummet exiting the building and entering a splash down. Another narration comes up along the lines of "This concludes your tour of Jurassic Park, please come again very soon". Then you are taken to the unload station and you are brought to the Jurassic Park River Adventure merchandise store.
