PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Inspired by the original Jurassic Park movie, the Jurassic Park rides at the Universal Studios theme parks in California and Florida, immerses guests into the living, breathing three-dimensional world of Jurassic Park. Riders board 25-passenger free floating boats where they experience life-like, mammoth animatronic dinosaurs that come within inches of the boat and stand up to 5-stories tall. During the 5.5 minute adventure, riders survive an 84-foot drop straight down in pitch darkness narrowly escaping the terrifying Tyrannosaurus Rex.

PROJECT SCOPE
Cloward H2O provided design and engineering for the water features on the ride including the lagoons, waterfalls and ride flumes comprising 1.4 million gallons total as well as civil, site structural and electrical controls engineering for the Jurassic Park Rides.
