Jurassic Park River Adventure Refurbishment Details

Last month, Jurassic Park River Adventure underwent a substantial revamp to restore its original design and theme with creative direction by the Universal Creative Attractions Show Quality team. To ensure the enhancements remained true to the original concept, the team called on Neil Engel, the Art Director from the 1996 Jurassic Park – The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood. The project was realized through the talents of many teams across Universal Orlando.

Some of the highlights of the renovation of this great Islands of Adventure attraction include:

• a restored Jurassic Park River Adventure marquee sign;
• refreshed and repainted show scenes;
• new skins on many dinosaurs;
• refocused show lighting;
• converted LED exterior show lights;
• restored 81-foot drop rockwork;

“As a partner and resource, Universal Creative’s Attraction Show Quality team assisted with collaboration on the original story and design intent with proper documentation, color guides, and on-site art direction. It’s a real testimony to our devotion on preserving our Universal brand while enhancing guest experience” says Eric Hunt, Attractions Show Quality Director.
