Given Universal Studios’ track record with the original Jurassic Park ride, and the upcoming release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, it seems that Universal Studios is banking on transforming the iconic ride into another hit attraction, one that’s more modern.
Universal Studios Hollywood announced today that their classic Jurassic Park ride is “going extinct” later this year.
First opening in June 1996, Jurassic Park – The Ride redefined theme-park thrill-rides as as much as as the original Jurassic Park film set a new standard for digital special effects in film.
The Jurassic Park ride will close its gates for good on September 3, 2018, but it will be replaced by something new.
