New Jurassic Park Theme Park Experience To Replace ALL Universal Attractions

Wait 5 sec.

Soon, Jurassic Park attractions will go far beyond Universal Studios.Jurassic Park first came roaring to life in 1993 when Steven Spielberg adapted Michael Crichton’s 1990 best-seller into a major motion blockbuster that ushered in a new era of special effects in film. It feels like a lifetime ago, but it would have felt even longer if Jurassic Park hadn’t found success across all forms of entertainment over the past 32 years.In that time, we’ve had six sequels (The Lost World, Jurassic Park III, Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom, Dominion, Rebirth), two short films (Battle at Big Rock, Dominion Prologue), two animated shows (Camp Cretaceous, Chaos Theory), comic books, tie-in novels, video games, and all the Universal Studios Jurassic theme park attractions.Credit: Universal StudiosOff-Screen Jurassic Park Experiences Were InevitableWe can’t imagine any other franchise translating as well into the theme park setting as Jurassic. After all, Jurassic Park (1993) and Jurassic World (2015) each take place in an actual theme park, so seeing their transition into the real world was inevitable.Collectively, the Jurassic films alone have grossed over $6 billion so far, with Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) currently pushing that total toward $7 billion. Needless to say, the Jurassic franchise remains as lucrative as ever, both on the silver screen and beyond.Credit: Inside the MagicRelated: ‘Jurassic Park’ Official Sequel: Everything We KnowUniversal Studios’ Jurassic Attractions Are Spared No ExpenseWithin the Universal Studios theme parks, the brand has also been “spared no expense”. What started as a river-rapid-themed adventure has now expanded to include the Jurassic World banner, which brought with it even more thrilling experiences. Attractions currently include Jurassic Park River Adventure, VelociCoaster, and Jurassic World: The Ride.The rides can be found in all five Universal Studios resorts worldwide: Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Studios Orlando, Universal Studios Japan, Universal Studios Singapore, and Universal Studios Beijing.Though each signature attraction maintains the river-rapids theme, they vary from one to the next (some more so than others, with the most notable difference being between the “Park” and “World” banners). Then there’s VelociCoaster, which breaks away from the river-rapids format entirely with a high-speed roller coaster.Credit: Universal Studios JapanAnother Kind of Jurassic Theme Park Experience Is ComingNow, there’s another authentic Jurassic experience on its way.The first-person action-adventure video game “Jurassic Park: Survival” (TBA) can hardly be compared to the likes of Jurassic Park: The Ride other than the fact that it shares the same IP, but it will offer fans the chance to return to the original 1993 park in virtual form.Watch the trailer for “Jurassic Park: Survival” below, per Jurassic World YouTube:Related: ‘Jurassic Park: Survival’ Trailer BreakdownWhat’s “Jurassic Park: Survival” About?The game takes place 24 hours after the events of the 1993 film, inviting guests back to Isla Nublar where InGen’s dinosaurs are now running amok.“Return to Isla Nublar the day after the events of the beloved 1993 Jurassic Park film in an original adventure 65 million years in the making,” the official synopsis reads.“Survive thrilling first-person action as InGen scientist Dr. Maya Joshi, who was unable to evacuate Isla Nublar, in this single-player action-adventure game and discover a never-before-told story. Through thrilling encounters, experience the wonder and danger of dinosaurs, each with their own distinct and adaptive behaviors brought to life by John Hammond’s vision.”Credit: Universal City Studios LLC and Amblin Entertainment / Saber InteractiveThe original characters from the film — Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), Lex Murphy (Ariana Richards), and Tim Murphy (Joe Mazzello) — have long since escaped by helicopter.But there’s one person who failed to evacuate: InGen scientist Dr. Maya Joshi.Alone, Joshi must “outsmart, escape, and interact with the film’s iconic dinosaurs” and use her “ingenuity through distraction and stealth to navigate intense and unforgettable encounters in a journey to outlast some of the deadliest creatures to ever walk the earth.”“Explore the park and face its dangers,” the official website adds. “Use all the resources at your disposal to find intelligent solutions to endure the many threats lurking on Isla Nublar.”Credit: Universal City Studios LLC and Amblin Entertainment / Saber InteractiveRelated: ‘Jurassic Park’ Releasing Official Never-Before-Seen Version of 1993 FilmIs It Open World?Players will be thrilled to know they’ll be free to explore “a fully realized Isla Nublar.”While it doesn’t sound like “Survival” is an open-world game in the traditional sense, it has been confirmed that the title will feature both iconic locations such as the Visitor Center and Jurassic Park gates and never-before-seen areas, which will likely include areas from Michael Crichton’s book, and off-screen parts of the island only hinted at in the 1993 film.Credit: Universal City Studios LLC and Amblin Entertainment / Saber InteractiveOf course, the game won’t replace the Universal attractions, but it will offer guests a different way of experiencing the original park without having to step foot outside their front door.While Jurassic World continues to consume the original branding, it will be refreshing to be able to step foot back on Isla Nublar the day after the franchise was born.There’s no release date for “Jurassic Park: Survival”.Are you excited about “Jurassic Park: Survival”?
