Universal Studios Hollywood has a lot of exciting things coming up this summer, including the opening of the newest version of the Jurassic Park ride!
Based on the global blockbuster hit, “Jurassic World—The Ride” is a spectacular new adventure that will take guests on a breathtaking excursion through the theme park as depicted in Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s film, JURASSIC WORLD. It will soar to new heights with the addition of iconic dinosaurs from the movie, including the colossal Indominus rex and the magnificent aquatic Mosasaurus, which will mesmerize onlookers in her natural habitat.
The Jurassic Park ride was always a favorite of mine, where we’d coast through the park, peacefully at first. Once the dinosaurs break through the gates though, that peaceful feeling disappears as we try to escape Jurassic Park before the t-rex gets it. The ride culminated in an 80+ foot drop down a waterfall and if you’re lucky, you’d only get mildly wet. (Ponchos are available for use, for a fee, in the shop before you get on the ride, but what fun is that??)
There’s also a lot more excitement coming this summer. From Saturday, June 22 through Sunday, August 11, “Dark Arts at Hogwarts™ Castle” returns to Universal Studios Hollywood with a mesmerizing display of light, music and special effects that unleashes the dark creatures and villains within “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.”
Straight from the latest press release: “As darkness falls on Hogwarts castle, Dementors™, Death Eaters and other unspeakable creatures from Aragog and Mountain Trolls to Thestrals will cloak the castle with sinister images from the darker side of magic—even conjuring the visage of Lord Voldemort™ himself, until the Patronus spell—one of the most famous, difficult and powerful defense of the Dark Arts charms in the wizarding world—is cast.
This spectacular light projection experience is accompanied by an exclusive musical arrangement that emanates in a surround sound environment. It was conducted by prolific arranger William Ross and recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra in London, based on the original scores composed for the film series created by Academy Award®-winning composer John Williams. “
And, even more good news: “The California Neighbor Pass enables guests to choose any day for their first visit and return to enjoy Universal Studios Hollywood for more than 175 days over nine months, including select weekends, for $149 when purchased online.
