Sitting in the front is great, you can have a better experience, but yea you will def get drenched!

Dave Sawyer

Sit in the front. Definitely enhances the experience since you can see all the features on both sides, and feel more "in" the ride versus other rows.

Renée C.

Everyone, keep titer mouth shut when you see the t-rex. Trust me. Women, your white t-shirt will get soaked. Black women, your hair will be ruined.

Abbey Sandoval

Great ride! Love dinosaurs and the drop was crazy! I sat in the second row middle seat and did not get soaked. If you sit on the edge... sorry

Undercover Tourist

Great ride, but even if your kids reach the 42” height requirement, it may still be frightening for them. If you’re unsure how they’ll react, wait a year or so.

Jimi Hendricks

If you don't want to get wet and you don't want to spend money on a poncho check out the garbage cans where you exit the ride behind the Jurassic Outfitters shop for discarded ponchos.

Dana Hare

don't feel like waiting in line to get wet and cool off?!? splash zone will get you SOAKED. left of the ride behind the restaurant ! in the shade too!

Dwight Millman

When you enter the raptor paddock look to your left and you'll see the shirt of a recently attacked universal employee. Look at the name tag on the shirt for a fun anti-disney jab.

Harry López

A must try, the line always keep moving so you don't feel the hour you wait

Elise Fromularo

It's 7/21/11 at 12:40pm. They said the wait time was 80min for the ride and we waited maybe a little more than 40min! Definitely worth the wait with this FL heat&humidity!!

Raspete Jorge

Bring your girlfriend to this ride and you'll experience the dinosaurs in your own arm in every fall!

????Kara S.????

why are you still wondering "how wet you will get" you will get drenched!!! but its worth it for your face in that picture.

Dim

Great ride, even it is already there for a while still great experience.

Dwayne Kilbourne

I recommend that you check this ride out in the evening... creates a better effect, and the lines are shorter!

Mertesacker

Must do adventure river but try to keep dry!!!! So much fun

Santi Caamaño

Nice and slow at the beggining... say "hi!" to the t-rex right before the big (and vera wet) drop!

Kimmie Ohh

You will get wet from the water especially if you sit in the front.

Amanda G

Try riding at night for an extra creepy feel, great fun for dinosaur lovers!

Eric O

Be on the lookout for small, grey, furry dinosaurs known as 'squirrels' that can be seen just before entering your vehicle.

Brenden Chandler

Very cool I like the idea of the raptor containment are section

Caitlin

First two rows get the most wet, but even then most of the water flies over your boat. Great ride!

Kassandra

Like this ride, needs to be updated... And ps you will get wet if you sit on the outside left...

Marques Robinson

Right when you enter the Raptor containment area, look to the left and you can see the remains of someone who didn't get out of the path of the raptors .

Joselyn Diaz de Jesus

Its an awsome experience and theres a cave to explore for the kids of family

Tom Halleran

In need of a refresh, maybe in time with the new Jurassic World. One drop with a dated movie ride leading up to it.

Matthias

Love the Jurassic Park theme!! ????????

Colin Lord

You won't get as wet as you think, even on the drop at the end.

Jennifer Villanueva

Discover area was very family friendly . Wish there was more Jurassic related rides.

Adam Silva

You WILL get wet, and it WILL be amazing

Sarah V

Very fun and worth the wait for any Jurassic Park fan!!

Alex Moody

Hadrosaur Cove is the best part of the ride! Just hope they stay out of the water and don't get you into any trouble!

Dwayne Kilbourne

Suspenseful ride... building up anticipation for the final plunge; just be sure to smile for the camera !

Mike Warman

I wish they had a bigger souvenir shop with more things from the movies !!

The last slop is the best part of the ride.

You won’t get very wet unless you’re front row.
