The Jurassic Park River Adventure has been operating at the Resort for decades, giving Guests an exhilarating look at some impressive scenery and, of course, some amazing dinosaur animatronics.
This ride can be found at Universal Studios Hollywood, but this version is themed specifically to the Jurassic World franchise. Guests on the west coast know this experience as Jurassic World – The Ride.
Unfortunately, this ride has been experiencing some issues lately. The ride was delayed over the weekend, as you can see below:

One fan responded, saying the ride had been left in a sad state:
It’s been suffering, multiple malfunctions with animatronics missing or not working altogether for quite a few months, they either have to close it for 12 months and do a full re-Ferb or close it permanently and re-engineer as something else

A concerned Guest recently stated multiple issues on the ride, including missing animatronics and deteriorating equipment.
We reported on this claim, revealing that half of the dinos reportedly do not move properly, with two dino animatronics now missing entirely.
Hopefully, this attraction gets the attention it desperately needs and deserves!
