>> Ariana Richards: Hi, this is Ariana Richards and I'm back at Universal Studios Hollywood ready to
ride Jurassic Park The Ride for one last time
before it goes extinct. So bring on the Poncho's here we go.
[sfx: Raptor sounds]
Back!
center up on me.
It was such a great moment to come here when the ride was opening, I'll never forget that day.
Just to get on that ride and go through that adventure and kind of be
part of the moment of the unveiling of the ride was so special.
When it comes to my favorite part of the Jurassic Park ride, I have to say the final drop at the
end has to be the icing on the cake, I just love it.
[screaming and laughing]
Hey this is Ariana Richards and I just got off the Jurassic Park Ride
I rode it for the very last time it was so amazing,
and as you can see I have the effects and completely drenched.
>> STEVEN SPIELBERG: We began the concept of Jurassic Park The Ride while Jurassic Park the film was in production.
Even before it came out. It's not the ride wasn't anticipating a big success
but it was such a natural for you know Universal Studios Orlando and
Hollywood because of what it's about. The movie is about basically a theme park
that goes amiss and we thought it was at one point somebody said "What if the
theme parks more successful than the movie?" And I said that could happen who knew.
[cheers]
>> STEVEN SPIELBERG: This is what they call fast ride over here and a wet one. This is really all
about patience and perseverance and Universal trusting this movie even
before it was a movie to start work on this ride. This ride was placed in the
the conceptual stages over 18 months before the film was released in to theaters.
And that's what I call having blind faith and have a great day and
have a wonderful time on the ride.
>> ANNOUNCER: Spielberg himself toured the construction site to see
firsthand how his dream was coming to life.
>> STEVEN SPIELBERG: It's gonna be great.
This is really what virtual reality is all about. It's not about something to
put on your head and see a condensed image on three sides of you.
This really is a chance to three dimensionally live the movie and ride the movie.
>> ANNOUNCER: As opening day grew closer,
dinosaurs began to be spotted in the skies over Universal. As the huge
creatures found their way to their new home. Even by Hollywood standards it was
an unusual sight.
