Jurassic Park River Adventure

Frommer's Review

A leisurely raft tour along a river is interrupted when some raptors, who could hop aboard your boat at any moment, escape. The ride lets you literally come face-to-face with "breathing" inhabitants of Jurassic Park. At one point, a Tyrannosaurus rex decides you look like a tasty morsel, and at another point, spitters launch venomous saliva your way. The only way out: an 85-foot plunge in your log-style life raft. It's steep and quick enough to lift your fanny out of the seat. (When Spielberg rode it, he made them stop the ride and let him out before the plunge.) Expect to get wet (how wet depends on the individual experience -- I've seen people get soaked and some emerge barely damp). If your stomach can take only one flume ride, this one's a lot more comfortable than Dudley Do-Right, and the atmosphere is better. Note: Expectant mothers or those with heart, neck, or back problems shouldn't ride. Guests must be at least 42 inches tall.
