Growing up I always wanted to see a dinosaur up close, and with the added experience that Universal Orlando have recently come up with I will have my chance. However, I would have rather met a “nicer” dinosaur! Like maybe a plant eating one…..not one that would like to eat me.
This new encounter is located between Camp Jurassic and the Jurassic Park Discovery Center. You will now have a chance to meet a Velociraptor! Yes, this man-eating dinosaur has arrived at Jurassic Park in Universal’s Islands of Adventure!
- Your experience will begin the moment you approach a paddock where the Velociraptor is contained. There’s a dinosaur trainer standing by to teach you some really cool facts about the Velociraptor’s too. My friend had a sneak peek and was told he better run fast because an adult Velociraptor can run upwards of 96 kilometers per hour! That’s like 60 miles per hour! Can you run 60mph? I know I can’t, and I run FAST! You also have a chance for a once in a lifetime (because you might not make in out alive) chance for a photograph with the nearly 9 foot tall Velociraptor. Also take heed of the warning: animals may bite! Are you brave enough to meet Universal Orlando’s newest prehistoric reptile? Just don’t go during feeding time, and you should be fine.
Of course with the release of the upcoming movie “Jurassic World” in theaters June 12th will only make this amazing encounter at Universal Orlando even more terrifying! I’ve seen the previews, and oh my.
Check out the video below that Universal released, and let me tell you these people are crazy getting that close!
