History Ride / JurassicParkRiverAdventure

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: ''Ultrasaurus'' in the Hollywood version is shown bending its neck in a way that would be impossible for a real life sauropod. Its also [[AquaticSauropods aquatic and submerged]], reflecting a long-outdated hypothesis about behaviour that even the film series knew enough to avert.
** ''Parasaurolophus'' is too portrayed as being [[AquaticHadrosaurs semi-aquatic]], reflecting a long-outdated hypothesis about hadrosaur behaviour that even the films knew enough not to do.

** There's a wrecked car as well as a wrecked boat with either a ''Dilophosaurus'' or a ''Compsognathus'' pair on it...and yet there's no blood to be seen.

** Several ''Pteranodons'' flying in the background, even though they make no appearance in the ride.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The ''Parasaurolophus'', a dinosaur that has been mostly limited to being in the background in the films, plays a pivotal role in the attraction, as one of them bumps the boat off course and into the restricted area; unintentionally being the cause of all the mayhem the riders endure.

* EasterEgg: In Hollywood's version, you can see Nedry's Barbasol can amongst the rocks when you're reapproaching the station.

The ride first began development '''very''' early on, with it already being on the drawing board 18 months before the first ''Film/JurassicPark'' film was released into theaters; concept art of it even appears in the background of one scene in the movie itself. The reason for its early development was simply that Creator/StevenSpielberg and the park's management could see its theme park potential straight away.

* PteroSoarer: In the rebranded Hollywood version, a pair of dead ''Pteranodons'' can be seen in Predator Cove, foreshadowing how dangerous the ''Indominus rex'' is.

* RuleOfScary[=/=]RuleOfCool: How the ''heck'' did a massive ''Tyrannosaurus'' like that make it to the top of such a tall building? Doesn't matter, because it makes for such a epic finale. This is touched upon in the Hollywood re-theme, as the building is now the T-Rex enclosure.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: The ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' is always reserved for the ride finale, lunging at riders as they plummet down the 85-foot drop to safety.
** In the Hollywood version, there are subtle indications that the T-Rex has broken free from its enclosure and has been stalking the off-course boat, from the pushing a jeep off a cliff to breaking the ceiling of a water treatment facility to finally charging through a waterfall in a last-ditch attempt to eat the riders.
** The refurbished Jurassic World ride added ''[[TRexpy Indominus rex]]'' as the BigBad, but still keeps the ''Tyrannosaurus'' as the last dinosaur you see before the fall.

* StockDinosaurs: Series mainstays ''Stegosaurus'', ''Parasaurolophus'', ''Dilophosaurus'', ''Compsognathus'', ''Velociraptor'' and ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' appear. After the rebranding, the aquatic lizard ''Mosasaurus'' and the dead bodies of the flying reptile ''Pteranodon'' are also added to the mix.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: ''Ultrasaurus'' and ''Psittacosaurus'' are among the dinosaurs in the ride.
