Universal's Island of Adventure is a theme park in Orlando, Florida. In the center of the park is the Jurassic Park section. This section is, for the most part, meant to replicate the real park from the film. It is the largest of the Jurassic Park-themed sections within Universal parks.
Park Gates[]
The park gates are similar to the ones featured in the movie Jurassic Park.
Camp Jurassic[]
This mega recreation area is a multi-level prehistoric playground where kids can have mammoth-sized fun. Explore dark caves and amber mines, climb dinosaur-capture nets and negotiate swaying suspension bridges as the ground rumbles with the roar of dinosaurs.

Jurassic Park River Adventure[]
For a complete description, see Jurassic Park: River Adventure
The main ride in the JP section is the Jurassic Park water ride. You start off in a small boat that takes you through a tour of the park. Suddenly a dinosaur jumps out of the water and knocks you off course. You start going into a restricted area. You see Compys eating a worker. You start going up. You enter a large dark building. Inside the building raptors are tearing apart the power supplies. The room is filled with raptors and the raptors loud noises. When you get to the top of the building you see a life-sized T.rex head. He roars at you and opens his mouth to eat the boat you are on. Right when you are about to get eaten the boat suddenly drops down an 85-foot waterfall, and then the ride is over.

Trivia[]
- The Islands of Adventure was featured with Universal Studios Hollywood in Warpath: Jurassic Park as Albertosaurus‘ arena. Also when completing the arcade mode as Albertosaurus (with Acrocanthosaurus using the Universal Studios arena in the final stage), instead of showing the credits it showed an advertisement for Universal Studios Florida.
- The Velociraptors of Isla Adventura are revealed to be actually V. mongoliensis and not V. antirrhopus.
