Universal Studios Florida
Step into the chaos where science meets survival in the ultimate dinosaur adventure.
Universal Studios Florida in Orlando is the park for which Jurassic Park: The Ride was initially proposed, although the ride was built first at Universal Studios Hollywood. In September 1993, Universal announced plans to open a Jurassic Park attraction in Florida as part of a second theme park built adjacent to Universal Studios Florida. Jurassic Park River Adventure opened in 1999 as part of Universal Islands of Adventure in Orlando, within its Jurassic Park-themed land.
