Isla Nublar

 

Welcome to Jurassic Park......or is it Jurassic World? Actually, it's both. Here, guests can experience the thrill, mystery, and science of both film trilogies in this area. There is even a sign in the center with both the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World signs on it to help transition these two sections.

Entering in through Berk, guests first come into a Jurassic World area. Here, they can find thrilling attractions. They can take a ride on the Jurassic World Velocicoaster and speed through the jungle. This is a similar ride to the one in Universal Islands of Adventure. Nearby is Jurassic Cafe, a dining spot, as well as the Jurassic World Adventure. This advanced motion dark ride, similar to the ride system used in Spider-Man and Transformers but minus the 3-D element, sends guests through Jurassic World when the Indominus Rex breaks free and goes on a rampage. This is similar to a ride found in Beijing. The ride exits into Hammond's Trading Company, named after John Hammond, founder of the original Jurassic Park. Located on the border with the Jurassic Park section is the Raptor Encounter, where guests can meet Blue the Velociraptor or some baby raptors.
Proceeding into Jurassic Park, guests can find more to see. On the left is a play area called Camp Jurassic. Also in the area is the Dino Bites restaurant and the Dino Store. On the right side is Jurassic Park River Adventure, an updated version of the ride in Islands of Adventure but still the classic attraction themed to the original film. The ride exits into Jurassic Traders.

When doing a Jurassic area, I wanted to include the Jurassic World things, but then I also wanted to feature the old Jurassic Park things too. Even though the river adventure in Hollywood has been updated to include characters and dinosaurs from Jurassic World, and I admit it is pretty great, I had to put in a nod to the original somehow, so I decided to do this.

Egypt

  Guests travel back to the perils of 1920's Egypt, where old archaeological sites hold dark secrets and ancient curses. This is a thrill-seeker's area with its key attraction, although it also has things for younger adventurers too. When entering through Jumanji, guests come into a Middle Eastern bazaar. Here, they can shop at Ancient Accessories and Egyptian Antiques as well as eat at the Explorer's Inn. Further down is a play area for kids, Lost Ruins. Guests can also ride cars through the Egyptian Ruins on the Ruins Exploration Cars, which feature old automobiles hat guests can ride. However, the major attraction of this land is found in an ancient tomb, and it is the Revenge of the Mummy coaster, which is similar to the one in Orlando and Singapore.

Jumanji

  So this might not be a real area in the world, but I still wanted to include it since I ran out of ideas for country and world region-inspired areas. This section is mainly based off the 2017 sequel/reboot series, even though a few nods to the original can be found throughout the land. When guests enter through London, they enter the jungle....literally. They are immediately immersed in a jungle outpost where things from all over the mythical land of the game are seen. Nearby is Nigel's Cafe, a dining location, while Traders of Jumanji is located nearby as well. Towards the back of the area is Jaguar River Rapids, where guests ride rafts through Jumanji, only to come across some supernatural perils. The key attraction of this area is found further on. Here, guests will board EMV jeeps (similar to Disneyland's Indiana Jones Adventure ride) and travel through Jumanji on a ride combining animatronics, screens, and visual effects known as the Jumanji Expedition.   Lost Treasures...
