    Sitting in the front is great, you can have a better experience, but yea you will def get drenched!

    Sit in the front. Definitely enhances the experience since you can see all the features on both sides, and feel more "in" the ride versus other rows.

    Everyone, keep titer mouth shut when you see the t-rex. Trust me. Women, your white t-shirt will get soaked. Black women, your hair will be ruined.

    Great ride, but even if your kids reach the 42” height requirement, it may still be frightening for them. If you’re unsure how they’ll react, wait a year or so.

    It's 7/21/11 at 12:40pm. They said the wait time was 80min for the ride and we waited maybe a little more than 40min! Definitely worth the wait with this FL heat&humidity!!

    Great ride! Love dinosaurs and the drop was crazy! I sat in the second row middle seat and did not get soaked. If you sit on the edge... sorry

    If you don't want to get wet and you don't want to spend money on a poncho check out the garbage cans where you exit the ride behind the Jurassic Outfitters shop for discarded ponchos.

    I recommend that you check this ride out in the evening... creates a better effect, and the lines are shorter!

    Be on the lookout for small, grey, furry dinosaurs known as 'squirrels' that can be seen just before entering your vehicle.

    When you enter the raptor paddock look to your left and you'll see the shirt of a recently attacked universal employee. Look at the name tag on the shirt for a fun anti-disney jab.

    First two rows get the most wet, but even then most of the water flies over your boat. Great ride!

    In need of a refresh, maybe in time with the new Jurassic World. One drop with a dated movie ride leading up to it.

    Yes, you will probably get wet. Not quite as wet as on Popeye's or Rip Saw, though.

    Hadrosaur Cove is the best part of the ride! Just hope they stay out of the water and don't get you into any trouble!

    Right when you enter the Raptor containment area, look to the left and you can see the remains of someone who didn't get out of the path of the raptors.
