George Lucas' Jurassic Park flicks proved major hits with their audiences of the '80s and '90s, inspiring a wealth of rides at the Universal theme parks positioned across America. One such attraction is Jurassic Park: River Adventure, a water-based coaster taking 25 riders in a large boat across the famed dinosaur island on a leisurely tour, which later gets interrupted by a 'saur sending the vehicle off course towards a massive 85ft drop where every goer is sure (or 'saur, sorry couldn't resist) to get a good soaking and an exhilarating thrill along the way down. The animatronics of the dinosaurs you'll see on the ride are superbly realistic, and really the only complaint I can level is that you don't get to see enough of the fabled extinct race before your climb to the aformentioned scares beyond, so if you end up queuing a while you might feel somewhat short-changed. However, River Adventure is, as its title suggests, adventurous in its approach and should definitely get a look while you visit Universal's Islands Of Adventure!
