It’s fascinating to hear Steven Spielberg say that they planned the ride even before they shot the movie, wow! Such a great movie and an awesome ride! It will be missed by many.
Oh man, Jurassic Park was my favorite ride for many years. I’ve ridden it dozens of times, and I think it malfunctioned at least 75% or the time (which just added another level of suspense)!
I can beat that. I can beat that. When the attraction was still under construction (in 1995?) I contacted the Universal publicity department as I wanted to write an article about it and they had me come out and I was given a guided tour when it was still being built and I got to walk around in the parts of the attraction which later could only be seen from the boat but not visited close-up. Sounds like something I should look into trying again. My article finally appeared in Prehistoric Times magazine. I was even allowed to take behind-the-scenes photos that day.
I was doing stage crew for the Beatlejuce show the year this opened. It was a BIG deal... The ride still looks really good! I'm sad I won't be back in time to ride it before it gets changed. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!
My favourite movie of all time and easily one of my favourite theme park attractions! If I'd known the last time I rode it was actually 'the *last* time' I'd have ridden it a bunch more. Unfortunately I couldn't quite fit a trip out from the UK into my schedule before September but I'm sure when it's back in its Jurassic World guise it'll be just as good.....?? * crosses EVERYTHING * Thanks for giving it such a great farewell, Justin!!
Probably the coolest “ride thru” video ever! Never been to universal so I’ve never been on the Jurassic Park ride but it looks so sick!!! Kinda bummed I’ll never see it in person.. I wonder what kinda changes they’ll make 🤔
The ride system will stay the same, with new animatronics, effects and a new paint job. Oh and of course, the Jurassic World branding. Reopening in 2019, this will take only a few months.
From what I hear they dont plan on changing the ride in Orlando. They're pretty much the exact same ride except you get way more wet from the drop in Orlando
The one in Orlando is very similar. IMO better because more space means more greenery making it feel more real. But there are some features on this one that we don't have in Orlando that are pretty neat though. But overall they are extremely similar.
Looks like the truck and the Dino that pops up out of the water are broken. I guess its great that they will be doing a refurb so they can bring back the magic of when it was new and fully operational.
Last time I rode that ride about a year or so ago, half the stuff didn't even work, the rubber skin on the dinosaurs, was melting and cracked faded, and falling off. I'm pretty sure once say knew it was going to be turned into Jurassic world, they pretty much stopped all maintenance, other than safety!
I love that they put cameras on the ride. I'm sad I never got to go on it in Orlando when I went back in 2000. I loved seeing you and Ally on this ride. Thank you for sharing this with us Justin and I hope you guys have a great day and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thanks for letting us enjoy this for one last time :) There used to be more exciting elements to this ride before now as well(the car used to fall, the area where you said there was a ghost dino actually had a dino in it that shot out water, etc...)
Hearing that music makes my heart sing! Every time my husband and I ride this ride we are in awe and the dinosaurs seem so alive! Some of the best memories in the Jurassic Park area.
I’m sad to hear this. My first vacation without family was at California. This was the very first ride I rode when I got there back in September ‘95. I was floored when the gates opened and it was definitely a lasting adventure for me. Thanks again for taking us along.
I rode it in 1996 a couple of months after it opened. The Jeep fell down the wall then. Great physical effects ride, no screens. Wish they were all like that.
But it will be evolving & change & it will be even better & I was blessed to have been able to experience it & my mom who surprised with it when she told me a weeks before we went to Florida for my sister's wedding & I got so very excited & brought my Jurassic Park sound tracks including the Jurassic world soundtrack & I started humming the Jurassic Park theme& when the wedding was finally over & went to Orlando to where we would be staying I had the mother of geek moments as a Jurassic Park fan& lover of all dinosaurs & I was sad when I had to leave & I promised myself the some day I would return even if it killed me & that was two years ago & I would love to go see the real life Jurassic world. 💖😉😇💗
Sacrifice Ally to the Blue Dinosaur? Are you insane? She's GORGEOUS!!! Distract him by throwing that hat. And just how in the (Jurassic) World did you get in ahead of time like that? You must have some Universally terrific friends!
Justin soooo lucky to take a spin one last time on the most iconic ride in universal history....I guess its true what they say all good thing must come to an end👏
Love that my kids loved her especially my 5 year old daughter who has special needs kept telling her to calm down so cute. They even loved the ride so glad I got to go on it before it changes
I wanted to be there so bad! I was saving up for it. But a couple months ago, I had a family emergency so I had to go to Utah and I wouldn’t have been able to go on another vacation for another 3 months so.... yeah I can’t make it over there before the ride closes. But I’m happy that you got to ride it one last time. Thank you for sharing the experience with us.
I'm super excited for the new Jurassic World make-over! Hopefully they replace all the animatronics with new, updated ones. I've also heard rumors that the new ride will have the mososaurus!
Going to miss this ride even though I was terrified every time I went on it because I was always anticipating the drop. Excited about the new ride I hope it's even cooler than the original.
Also, as I'm sure most JP fans know, the entire opening event for the ride from back in like 1996 is available to watch on TH-cam with such LA royalty as Rob Rodriguez in attendance and riding it for the first time. Quite the nostalgia trip if you're ever in the mood!!
That looked awesome. I have been on the Orlando version and to me, this personally looks better. The atmosphere looked more dark and intense and the animatronics looked more realistic. I hope the new version is amazing as well.
I LOVED this ride when we went back in 2008! So sad to see it go, but I'm sure the updating and upgrading will make it an even better ride in the future!
i'm so sad about them re-doing this! jurassic park is one of my favorite movies, and i finally got to go to universal this past year (im 21) and this was, by far, the best ride. even with the forbidden journey up and running
From the rumors I have heard The new Jurassic world ride will not only keep the same track with the changed Jurassic world setting but the new drop will have both the indoumus Rex and the T. rex will be at the top fighting as you go down the drop. They might also have blue there with them as well
I still remember waiting in a 3 hour line for this ride and well worth the wait it was. I am sad to see the original go, but excited to see what is next on the horizon.
I was so sad to hear this is closing since I never got to ride it, but you uploading this video has made letting it go a lot easier, so thank you Justin and Ally
I haven't been on that ride, Although I have been to Universal Studios Hollywood, back in the 80"s, every time I hear Welcome to Jurassic Park even on video I get chill bumps, I'm sorry I'm going to miss the original ride. That movie is a classic.
That was epic! I've never been on this ride and I really appreciate this awesome point of view. Thank you so much Justin and Ally, for sharing your adventures. You've done your duty. Now go get a dry pair of shorts Justin!
LOL I forgotten how interesting and fun that ride is. I've got a friend of mine who works at the park there and he gets to ride it every once in awhile
Thanks for filming this, It brings back memories. When I was in high school i apples to Universal Studios for a Summer job.It was 05/24/1996 when i started working there. It was my first job as a teenage. Now that I know its going to close, i'm going to take my wife and family to Universal. Thank you so much for this video.
My girlfriend and I love your videos and we have left a like on every one of them, we also love when Allie takes part in the videos we . we look forward to more vids and more Allie and your son as well
Thanks Justin! (Ally, I love your hair!!) I haven’t been to Universal since I was a young teen, so unfortunately I’ve never rode the ride. I’m sad to see it go, but happy that something similar will still be there so I can experience that.
I ALWAYS watch you on my tv but I had to stop in and say that your production quality has gotten sooooo much better over the last 6 months or so! I really appreciate the effort that is going into these videos!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!! That lapel mic mixed with the go pros LOOKED AND SOUNDED AWESOME!!!!!
I only hope that when it reopens the unbridled monetary success of the JW movies have helped it regain some of its former glory that was lost over the years due to various breakdowns/rotting dino skins/"ghost dinos"/broken jeeps/lame T Rex arms etc.... It's still one of my favourite attractions ever but when I rode it last (maybe 2016) it was only a shadow of its incredible Jurassic majesty.
This video is absolutely amazing in every way thank you so much for making it. love it!!!! Just went on this ride for the last time a few weeks ago and filmed it too!! 🦕 🦖
It’s fascinating to hear Steven Spielberg say that they planned the ride even before they shot the movie, wow! Such a great movie and an awesome ride! It will be missed by many.
Oh man, Jurassic Park was my favorite ride for many years. I’ve ridden it dozens of times, and I think it malfunctioned at least 75% or the time (which just added another level of suspense)!
This ride belongs in a museum!
I can beat that. I can beat that. When the attraction was still under construction (in 1995?)

Sounds like something I should look into trying again. My article finally appeared in Prehistoric Times magazine. I was even allowed to take behind-the-scenes photos that day.
it's always nice to see you and Ally having fun together
Rode this 10 times one day, that view when the gates open was still amazing even after the 10th time
I was doing stage crew for the Beatlejuce show the year this opened. It was a BIG deal... The ride still looks really good! I'm sad I won't be back in time to ride it before it gets changed. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!
Cool I worked for universal studios 😃
Sorry u
Love this. Rides are so much more immersive when you’re not sharing a ride vehicle with other parties of people or seeing them ahead of you.
The guy in the dino suit made my day. Thanks for the smiles Justin!
My favourite movie of all time and easily one of my favourite theme park attractions! If I'd known the last time I rode it was actually 'the *last* time' I'd have ridden it a bunch more. Unfortunately I couldn't quite fit a trip out from the UK into my schedule before September but I'm sure when it's back in its Jurassic World guise it'll be just as good.....?? * crosses EVERYTHING * Thanks for giving it such a great farewell, Justin!!
Probably the coolest “ride thru” video ever! Never been to universal so I’ve never been on the Jurassic Park ride but it looks so sick!!! Kinda bummed I’ll never see it in person.. I wonder what kinda changes they’ll make 🤔
Ben Laurence the ride is almost identical at the Orlando park. Trust me
The ride system will stay the same, with new animatronics, effects and a new paint job. Oh and of course, the Jurassic World branding.
Reopening in 2019, this will take only a few months.
From what I hear they dont plan on changing the ride in Orlando. They're pretty much the exact same ride except you get way more wet from the drop in Orlando

same........
Fantastic video as always, loved the mounted camera footage from on the boats!
LOL "HERE TAKE THE GIRL, SPARE ME!" XD
Looks like the truck and the Dino that pops up out of the water are broken. I guess its great that they will be doing a refurb so they can bring back the magic of when it was new and fully operational.
Bryan Dempsen they’re doing a full re theming so the truck and the dino that pops out the water prob will be gone after they do the re theme
Bryan Dempsen
Yeah, the parasaur was my favorite part of the ride. I’m gonna miss it, but hopefully they bring it back or introduce something new?
Last time I rode that ride about a year or so ago, half the stuff didn't even work, the rubber skin on the dinosaurs, was melting and cracked faded, and falling off. I'm pretty sure once say knew it was going to be turned into Jurassic world, they pretty much stopped all maintenance, other than safety!
When I was there the Dino popped up but the dilos didn’t spit water sad that my fav Dino’s didn’t hit me in this ride at least they got me on the tram
I love that they put cameras on the ride. I'm sad I never got to go on it in Orlando when I went back in 2000. I loved seeing you and Ally on this ride. Thank you for sharing this with us Justin and I hope you guys have a great day and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
dude i REALLY liked how this was filmed; like the different angles n stuff gave it, like, a better visual perspective
Thanks for letting us enjoy this for one last time :) There used to be more exciting elements to this ride before now as well(the car used to fall, the area where you said there was a ghost dino actually had a dino in it that shot out water, etc...)
Hearing that music makes my heart sing! Every time my husband and I ride this ride we are in awe and the dinosaurs seem so alive! Some of the best memories in the Jurassic Park area.
I love this ride! I'm gonna miss it, but looking forward to seeing the updated version
Even though I HATED that drop I’ll really miss always seeing that Mickey Mouse hat floating in the water
Vanessa B I almost fell out of the boat on the drop.
(Laughs devilishly)
Who says they will get rid of the Mickey Mouse hat? Okay, ya, they probably will.
I’m sad to hear this. My first vacation without family was at California. This was the very first ride I rode when I got there back in September ‘95. I was floored when the gates opened and it was definitely a lasting adventure for me. Thanks again for taking us along.
I love that they included you guys in the final rides. 1st class treatment, as it should be.
I ride that JP ride 2 times cant wait for the new JPWorld ride soon
I rode it in 1996 a couple of months after it opened. The Jeep fell down the wall then. Great physical effects ride, no screens. Wish they were all like that.
Sad to see the ride in such bad condition, but glad to know they'll be bringing back to life in some way. Thanks for the nostalgia and the feels
I’m so sad I’ll never get to ride this version but ugh such a beautiful ride
But it will be evolving & change & it will be even better & I was blessed to have been able to experience it & my mom who surprised with it when she told me a weeks before we went to Florida for my sister's wedding & I got so very excited & brought my Jurassic Park sound tracks including the Jurassic world soundtrack & I started humming the Jurassic Park theme& when the wedding was finally over & went to Orlando to where we would be staying I had the mother of geek moments as a Jurassic Park fan& lover of all dinosaurs & I was sad when I had to leave & I promised myself the some day I would return even if it killed me & that was two years ago & I would love to go see the real life Jurassic world. 💖😉😇💗
Sacrifice Ally to the Blue Dinosaur? Are you insane? She's GORGEOUS!!! Distract him by throwing that hat. And just how in the (Jurassic) World did you get in ahead of time like that? You must have some Universally terrific friends!
This ride is my favorite. I am so sad it is going away but I had so much good memories on that ride.
You know, I still don't understand how people can dislike Justin's videos, honestly they are the best!! Those party poopers!!!!
As always Fun with you guys! Glad they are keeping a Dino theme. 💜💜
Justin sooooo lucky to a spin on the most iconic ride in universal history one last time....but all goid things come to an end
Justin soooo lucky to take a spin one last time on the most iconic ride in universal history....I guess its true what they say all good thing must come to an end👏
Love that my kids loved her especially my 5 year old daughter who has special needs kept telling her to calm down so cute. They even loved the ride so glad I got to go on it before it changes
"Here take the girl, spare me!" haha Nice! :D
It’s sad that they are closing a good ride that is all real stuff(sort of) and no screens. Can’t wait for the future though.
BRILLIANT ! ! .....i was one of the many First When this Ride came , out........when the Jeep, fall down into the water....and Got seriously WET ! !
I wanted to be there so bad! I was saving up for it. But a couple months ago, I had a family emergency so I had to go to Utah and I wouldn’t have been able to go on another vacation for another 3 months so.... yeah I can’t make it over there before the ride closes.

I'm super excited for the new Jurassic World make-over! Hopefully they replace all the animatronics with new, updated ones. I've also heard rumors that the new ride will have the mososaurus!
Wowzers that ride was cool, That scream from Ally, LOL :P
Noooooo !!! That is my favorite ride !!!! I have to make a most definitely needed trip out there before they remodel it!!!
anna apodaca if you ever miss the ride you could always come down to universal studios Florida where the ride is still open
Going to miss this ride even though I was terrified every time I went on it because I was always anticipating the drop. Excited about the new ride I hope it's even cooler than the original.
Also, as I'm sure most JP fans know, the entire opening event for the ride from back in like 1996 is available to watch on TH-cam with such LA royalty as Rob Rodriguez in attendance and riding it for the first time. Quite the nostalgia trip if you're ever in the mood!!
That's awesome that you guys got to experience it that way. If anyone deserves a special Disney or Universal event, it's you. Love your Videos!
That looked awesome. I have been on the Orlando version and to me, this personally looks better. The atmosphere looked more dark and intense and the animatronics looked more realistic. I hope the new version is amazing as well.
I LOVED this ride when we went back in 2008! So sad to see it go, but I'm sure the updating and upgrading will make it an even better ride in the future!
That was always my favorite ride. I’m so sad to see it go, but excited to see what they do with it.
Believe it or not, I never got to ride this. I thank you for posting this. What a ride!
i'm so sad about them re-doing this! jurassic park is one of my favorite movies, and i finally got to go to universal this past year (im 21) and this was, by far, the best ride. even with the forbidden journey up and running
Ally Looks fantastic! Such a cutie.
Ally is Justin's wife , correct?
That was.........AWESOME. 👍👍 Felt like I rode along with you two.
From the rumors I have heard The new Jurassic world ride will not only keep the same track with the changed Jurassic world setting but the new drop will have both the indoumus Rex and the T. rex will be at the top fighting as you go down the drop. They might also have blue there with them as well
I also heard there will be a part where you see a full sized animatronic mosasaurus diving for sharks
I still remember waiting in a 3 hour line for this ride and well worth the wait it was. I am sad to see the original go, but excited to see what is next on the horizon.
One of the best lines I've ever heard in a Universal vlog, "Do they sell underwear in that gift shop?" LOL.
That was ridiculously cool of Universal to do that for you guys!
Im gonna miss that ride! Always made me so happy!!!!
Thx for taking us on adventures
Lucky you, getting to ride without other guests. And that crazy dinosaur!
I was so sad to hear this is closing since I never got to ride it, but you uploading this video has made letting it go a lot easier, so thank you Justin and Ally
Brings back Cool memory's....and the Bike ....E.T. ride . .....and BACKDRAFT !
Looks like a very cool experience. I actually enjoyed the Hollywood version more than the Orlando one.
Cool that they provided the extra cameras. I went on that ride once, a few years ago. I remember getting very wet.
I haven't been on that ride, Although I have been to Universal Studios Hollywood, back in the 80"s, every time I hear Welcome to Jurassic Park even on video I get chill bumps, I'm sorry I'm going to miss the original ride. That movie is a classic.
Love seeing you guys having fun on the ride
That was epic! I've never been on this ride and I really appreciate this awesome point of view. Thank you so much Justin and Ally, for sharing your adventures. You've done your duty. Now go get a dry pair of shorts Justin!
I wish I could have gone on. I'm gonna miss that ride. RIP Jurrasic Park the ride 1996-2018. It had a good run.
"Countdown to Extinction"? That's got to be a little in-joke aimed at Disney (that was the original name of Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom).
That was my first thought too, but I did a search for the term, and even before that it was the name of a 1992 Megadeth album.
Yeah, I caught that too. Terrible name for a ride!
The ride is getting enxtint. Since it's been the original ride for many years. It's getting a new remodeled ride.
LOL I forgotten how interesting and fun that ride is. I've got a friend of mine who works at the park there and he gets to ride it every once in awhile
Thanks for filming this, It brings back memories. When I was in high school i apples to Universal Studios for a Summer job.It was 05/24/1996 when i started working there. It was my first job as a teenage. Now that I know its going to close, i'm going to take my wife and family to Universal. Thank you so much for this video.
So many memories on this ride. I will truly miss it!
aww that brings a tear to my eye, people will really miss it but the new one will be great!
You guys make me smile. Thanks!
I love that ride honestly I’m so sad. At least I have a souvenir picture from the last time I rode it.
I just love when the gates open! Perfect view!
My girlfriend and I love your videos and we have left a like on every one of them, we also love when Allie takes part in the videos we . we look forward to more vids and more Allie and your son as well
2:19 - The hell is the T-Rex doing? XD The interaction with he and Blue is funny.
Okay, even the ending with the T-Rex dude was hilarious. xD
Thanks Justin! (Ally, I love your hair!!) I haven’t been to Universal since I was a young teen, so unfortunately I’ve never rode the ride. I’m sad to see it go, but happy that something similar will still be there so I can experience that.
Wow what an amazing video. So funny! So sad it's closing. I love the one at Orlando. How fantastic to ride it with no one else x
I was fortunate enough to ride that version a few years ago!
I ALWAYS watch you on my tv but I had to stop in and say that your production quality has gotten sooooo much better over the last 6 months or so! I really appreciate the effort that is going into these videos!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!! That lapel mic mixed with the go pros LOOKED AND SOUNDED AWESOME!!!!!
That's amazing justin, your so lucky but we'll deserved. It's awesome.
I remember going in that ride christmas of 96.... though i was wearing a poncho... cool to relive those memories
Love your videos Justin, but I was too distracted this time by Ally. She looks amazing.
Watching this was so much fun!
I only hope that when it reopens the unbridled monetary success of the JW movies have helped it regain some of its former glory that was lost over the years due to various breakdowns/rotting dino skins/"ghost dinos"/broken jeeps/lame T Rex arms etc.... It's still one of my favourite attractions ever but when I rode it last (maybe 2016) it was only a shadow of its incredible Jurassic majesty.
That’s how the rides should be! No lines and no one else to bother you!
Wish they would update the Mummy coaster. I was underwhelmed by that one, since Jurrasic park and Transformers are awesome.
So sad I’ll never get to ride this. Thanks for this video!
I was in California for Easter this year. We almost made it to Universal, sad that we did not. At least we did DL. 🙂
2:44 the guy in the dinosaur costume is killing me 😂
That is terrifying! Really cool Raptor :D
Salutations! Justin I can't believed you were quick to offer Ally to Blue the raptor! Thanks for the visit! Later in Randomland! 😀
absolutely epic! Love this attraction and will be sad to see it go from hollywood but cant wait to see what Universal change it up to next...
They are just turning it into Jurassic World
Whattttt I love that ride 😢 well at least it’ll still be the same water ride I hope
forever rest in peace....Im always going to miss you jurassic park ride,we will miss you
Thank you for sharing your last ride with us guys
This is such a cute video. You two are adorable.
I’m so jealous, I was just there last month and half those dinosaurs were missing. Even the big t-Rex finale was missing.
This video is absolutely amazing in every way thank you so much for making it. love it!!!!
Just went on this ride for the last time a few weeks ago and filmed it too!! 🦕 🦖
I hope they make Jurassic world the ride that will be awesome
So cool you got to do this! Congrats Justin!
