It’s unique in that it was the only segment not transferred to the Blu-Ray set—aside from short excerpts in the Jurassic Park 3 documentary. In fact, during the film’s promotional period at the park, Jurassic Park: The Ride was temporarily dubbed "Jurassic Park Summer Splash," with the park map declaring it "now wetter than ever with 3 times the attitude!" A banner advertising this temporary rebranding can still be seen near the ride in the splashdown area. Notably, this feature provides the clearest version of the opening and closing dialogue recorded initially by Richard Kiley, along with several other highlights. Jurassic Park: The Ride was a water-based amusement ride based on Steven Spielberg's 1993 film Jurassic Park and Michael Crichton's 1990 novel of the same name. It is located at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida, and Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, Japan. It was formerly located at Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles, California, where it was turned into Jurassic World: The Ride. The ride was researched and built as the film was still in production and opened at Universal Studios Hollywood on June 21, 1996. Duplicates of the ride have since been built at Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Japan as Jurassic Park River Adventure. A river rapids ride version, Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, opened at Universal Studios Singapore in 2010. Jurassic Park: The Ride opened at Universal Studios Hollywood on June 21, 1996. Filming cast members Jeff Goldblum, Ariana Richards, and Joseph Mazzello were among the guests in attendance at the ride's grand opening celebration. Steven Spielberg also attended the opening but requested that he be let off of the attraction before the 84-foot (26 m) drop. On August 12, 1996, Universal launched an online game, Jurassic Park—The Ride Online Adventure, to promote the ride. Meanwhile, Universal Studios Florida wanted to build their version of Jurassic Park: The Ride. It would be placed in their new second theme park, Islands of Adventure. The park would feature islands themed to Marvel superheroes, Dr. Seuss books, fairy tales, cartoons, and dinosaurs. Jurassic Park: The Ride would be slightly different from the Hollywood location. The ride would be named Jurassic Park: River Adventure and feature significant changes. On May 28, 1999, the attraction officially opened to the public. During the development, Universal Studios Japan was planning to add Jurassic Park: River Adventure, a mirror version of the Islands of Adventure location. Jurassic Park: River Adventure opened on March 31, 2001, along with the park. On May 10, 2018, it was announced that the Hollywood location would receive a Jurassic World remodel. The attraction was becoming outdated due to the film's massive success in 2015. Jurassic Park: The Ride would close on September 3, 2018. After being closed for 10 months, it reopened on July 12, 2019, as Jurassic World: The Ride. The ride includes all new animatronics and special effects.
