Set just after the time of the Jurassic Park movie. The area has some thrilling rides and has discovery-based exhibits. The characters of John Hammond and Ian Malcom even put in an appearance from time to time. The Island takes place under the guise of the "real" Jurassic Park: a theme park / zoological park focused on dinosaurs. As such, the area is filled with the attractions and exhibits one would find in the "real" Jurassic Park.

Rides and attractions

  • Jurassic Park River Adventure, a highly-themed "water-based attraction" through the various dinosaur paddocks of Jurassic Park, culminating in an 85 ft (26 m) drop away from the jaws of a menacing T-Rex. Opened: 1999
  • Pteranodon Flyers, a children's low-speed, suspended roller coaster which takes 2 riders at a time around the sky above Camp Jurassic.
  • Camp Jurassic, a children's play area centered around an imported 50-foot (15 m) Banyan tree.
  • Jurassic Park Discovery Center, a replicated (but not entirely duplicated) version of the Visitor Center from the film. Features various hands-on exhibits aimed mostly at kids, including a trivia game show in which guests compete, hatching Velociraptor eggs, and other educational, interactive exhibits.
