Hey Thrill Seekers,
You’d be forgiven for missing this one, what with the announcement of the imminent arrival of King Kong and Universal’s new deal with Nintendo but over the weekend something new has inhabited Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
Velociraptors have arrived, you’ll get the chance to take the ultimate selfie and see these magnificent creatures face to face in an all-new experience Universal are calling; Raptor Encounter.
The encounter is located between Camp Jurassic and the Jurassic Park Discovery Center.
Your experience begins when you approach a paddock where the raptor will be contained. You’ll learn some cool facts about the dino that you may not have known…
Did you know? that an adult Velociraptor can reach speeds of 60 miles per hour in the open!
Then, if you’re brave enough, you can approach the nearly 9- foot- tall wild raptor for a photo. But be sure to keep your hands and feet away… you wouldn’t want to end up being its dinner!
From jsut this weekends visit we have already seen how popular Raptor Encounter is especially with the brave children, take a look at this video, I’m pretty sure you see more adults jumping than under 12’s! 🙂
Smiles included…
Jamie
