* PromotedFanboy: In Hollywood's retheme, voice actor Creator/BillyKametz provides the voice of one of the workers speaking over the intercom as the boat passes through Predator Cove[[labelnote:Quotes]]"We have a containment alert. We show multiple containment failures! Repeat: Multiple systems failing!", said after the ''Parasaurolophus'' appears, and "Tracking multiple targets! We are in ''full containment failure!''", said before the ride vehicle ascends the lift[[/labelnote]].

** One concept for the Jurassic World refurbishment was [[https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/019/574/583/large/key-frame-screen-shot-2019-07-25-at-12-21-51-pm.jpg?1564085652 much more ambitious]], featuring two Indominus animatronica, the use of a screen to bring Nothosaurus into the lineup, an animatronic Metracanthosaurus, and a ''giant animatronic mosasaur''.

* RoleReprisal:

** [[http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/910/4a3UXp.jpg Early concept art]] reveals that a section of the ride was going to include a large aviary wherein riders would encounter and presumably be menaced by animatronic ''Pteranodons''. This was ultimately scrapped, though the ''Pteranodons'' would later serve as the theme for roller coaster at both Florida and Japan's Jurassic Park areas.

** Storyboards reveal that the ride would've had a "[[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle false ending]]" scene, where once inside the main building, guests would find themselves going up a conveyor ramp and end up at a backstage unloading dock, where an operator (that would've been played by a live actor) would tell that guests that they will evacuate them out. Just before they would have a chance to release the lap bars, a ''Velociraptor'' would break through a chain-link fence and screech at the operator, causing them to fall down out of shock and accidentally hit the controls that would then send the riders falling ''backwards'' down the same conveyor ramp. The idea of a false unloading station scene would later be recycled into Orlando's version of ''Ride/RevengeOfTheMummy''.

** Hollywood's concept art depicts some minor differences, such as the area surrounding the ride being more elaborate, and the final drop being mostly outdoors.
** Florida's version was originally going to have been built in the Universal Studios Florida park, where ''Ride/MenInBlackAlienAttack'' sits now. Steven Spielberg came in and encouraged them to do something more elaborate for the franchise. The result was the fully-themed Jurassic Park area that now exists at Islands of Adventure.

This was ultimately scrapped (presumably because of budget constraints), though rumor has it that the idea will be refitted for a roller coaster in Universal Studios Japan.

* The attraction was in development ''before the movie even came out''. Concept art of it can be seen on the screens in the background of the dinner scene.

* TheProducerThinksOfEverything: The ride includes a sort of day care for children too small to ride. Since this day care is supposedly run by Jurassic Park, it's stocked with dinosaur toys and WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime movies.

* TheOtherDarrin: In Florida's version of the ride, Richard Kiley's narration is replaced with that of an unknown actor's.

* FirstAppearance: The Stegosauruses made their first physical appearance in the franchise on this ride, a year before ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' came out.

* PropRecycling: When the Triceratops Discovery Trail was closed, some of its props were moved into the queue line of Florida's version.
