Just finished our second day here in Orlando, and it was the first day we were able to get to Universal Studios Islands of Adventure park. After enjoying the Spider-Man ride (a must-do, by the way) we made straight for the Jurassic Park island, based on the classic film.
One of the things I have always enjoyed is how the desigers of the rides decorate the wait-line, adding details derived from the fictional worlds the ride represents (this is called “theming”). Well the people behind the Jurassic Park attraction have raised the bar for all attractions that follow.
They have recreated, in incredible detail, the welcome center building seen in the first movie, along with “biologists” who walk the grounds and celebrate the hatching of every new dinosaur (these are usually raptors). The effect is remarkable, and if you are a fan of the fantastic and would love to live in a world where dinosaur cloning is a reality, definitely check it out.
Here are some photos:
