I could go for either. In the public consciousness I’m sure they’re viewed as the same exact franchise but like anything the first one (Park) is still the best. World isn’t a bad movie either and if I’m being honest it’s my second favorite of the whole franchise. Having the Indominus added to the River Adventure wouldn’t be offensive to me especially since it’s likely that’s the only way we’d ever get it in Florida. I enjoyed the Hollywood ride when I went on it and a plussed version at Islands that possibly keeps the Ultrasaurs and includes the Mosasaur in a different way would be an A+ in my book. Or they could just fix the current ride, either one.

I was originally against the Screens based opening of Jurassic World, but after riding this a week ago, I think it needs to be either put out of it's misery or an extensive rehab will need to happen.
my gut tells me they would rather spend the money on the indoor portion that won't succumb to the elements.
This ride shouldn't even be open in it's current condition...

We're closing-in on three months of the lagoon being in a non-show-ready state.

I'm sure someone has already posted this, but it reminded me of being in the movie when the kids drive thru the park and no dinosaurs show up. I guess in that case, they nailed it.

It's been nearly 5 months - they put those walls up the first week of March.

Ironically, this is the first time I ever wondered into Camp Jurassic, as I always thought it would be a rather lame play area. I was incredibly impressed with the Cave system. It was sorta like being in the Goonies. It was also void of people. Kind of like how Tom Sawyers Island is. I enjoyed this way more then River Adventure.

Camp Jurassic (those caves especially) is such an underrated gem.

Did you happen to discover the spitter spray guns area with the wall guns?
If not, that’s a true highlight and worth entering the area.
For those who have not discovered it, veer right when you enter to find the spitter water cannons.

We absolutely love Camp Jurassic. Nothing wrong with 2 twenty-somethings climbing around the nets up top right?

This 70 something climbs the nets too. CJ is the park's best kept secret.

An absolute hidden gem. I could stay there for hours.

And I have.
Them: Don’t change River Adventure!
Me: Change it but save the John Hammond portions of the queue video. That being said, if you touch Camp Jurassic, heads will roll!

One of my favorite theme park memories is crossing that bridge in the cave with my brother & we got surprised by the powerful geyser below while crossing. Scared the hell out of us but we couldn’t stop laughing. We were in our early 20’s too haha. Hope CJ stays around forever!

Early 20s? Lol. Try mid 40s and we still had fun
Love to hear I’m not the only one who ADORES the Amber Mines in Camp Jurassic!

I love lands that have these old-school explore at your own risk experiences almost like Tom Sawyer island. This is why Jurassic is my favorite of all universal lands, as you can get lost and experience things without waiting in a line. Attractions like this add depth to a land and make it feel like an actual, lived-in place.

I've been harping a lot on the ride, but I was there last Wednesday.....holy cow.....it was like there was nothing going on until the dilophosaurus. This needs to be fixed. Anyone hear anything about whats happening here for the future?
