 It’s an awesome ride, especially when the Velociraptors and Dilophosaurus create havoc, turning guests from spectators to prey. When the Tyrannosaurus rex engages in battle, the visitors in their rafts plunge down a real treacherous 84-foot waterfall and make a Jurassic splash as they escape. Yes, you will get wet!
