From USH Website:

In 2019, face Indominus rex when she makes her world premiere in the new, high-tech Jurassic World. Journey to where living dinosaurs roam the earth in the part expedition, part heart-pounding water ride based on the blockbuster film franchise.

On this river-raft adventure, get doused as a colossal Mosasaursus dives for its great white shark snack. But the real danger lies ahead when the brutal Indominus rex escapes its enclosure. Be prepared when a 50-foot Tyrannosaurs rex comes to your rescue… right before your final plunge down a treacherous 84-foot waterfall.

And plan to experience the original Jurassic Park®- The Ride one final time before it becomes extinct on Sept. 3, 2018!

Calling it now, Mosasaur's a screen.

Indominus could be great as an AA figure though, especially if Creature Tech is doing it!

Oh man that sounds awesome!

Please bring this to Orlando!

Oh this is gonna be real bad, ain't it?

Wrong

 

[WebHead1138]

So basically it's the same ride but updated and rebranded?

 

[JungleSkip]

Wrong

I see a lot of #Screenz in its future.

Yes

You see Screens, I see Projection Mapping.

Not gonna lie, that sounds great.

Yep, getting plussed, bigly.

That's not better.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

That's not better.

I would argue that Projection Mapping would offer a way to use depth in an environment than just traditional screens.

That said, glad this is finally announced. I've had heard of it for quite a few times throughout the past year, as it always seemed like the gun was loaded and ready but things were being held.

Either way, it's finally going to treat the attraction with the need it deserves, especially given the state of the attraction.

It's a doubled edged sword as some don't like JW, and there lies fears, but I'm for it.

 

[Freak]

Yay! Glad to see it’s official!

Don’t mess this up Uni. Give us some good AAs and go easy on the screenz.

Hollywood has 2 T-rex's during the final scene. One that pops it's head down and tried to eat guests, the other being the one before the drop. I'm assuming the first T-Rex that pop's its head out will be the one who becomes the I-Rex which means the baby is gonna be practical and get SUPER close to guests. I like it.

WELP. We finally know where Bruce photo op will end up after all these years.

6 months was how long it would be closed for last time I heard. Keep that in mind

Brian's right 9-10 is what they're currently being told - my bad

 

[ChiefBrody]

I feel there's a lot of potential for some strong screen scenes inside the show building, but I hope there's no reduction in overall AAs compared to what's there now - the mosasaur/great white scene in particular would be so impressive if they can pull it off using practical effects. I would also love for them to find a way to really improve the immersion of the attraction by finding a way to disguise/conceal the SSFL when you enter through the gates. I'm still not completely sold on the new movies, but this needed updating - it's too good to continue operating in its current state.

Longer. 9-10.

If the use of screens is anything like Shanghai's Pirates I'll be satisfied
