Moving on from Shrek land, we found ourselves surrounded by greeneries and prehistoric designs, and then rounding the corner, we found 2 large velociraptors around a mini fountain! Hello Lost World!! Anyway, this area is divided into two themed areas: Jurassic Park and WaterWorld. Unfortunately, when we were there, WaterWorld was closed for renovation, which was really sad because we were looking forward to watching the show in WaterWorld. WaterWorld, as stated in the USS website, is a live water show featuring death-defying stunts and awesome explosions. Oh well, maybe next time!
Meet and Greet in this area includes the infant triceratops named "Diane" and a rare encounter with Velociraptors which have escaped their cages, but yet again, unfortunately, we weren't able to see any of them. Anyway, there are also some mini food stalls all around the area so you could buy some beverages or freshen up a bit. The area is a bit cooler than other areas because there are a lot of trees giving shades from the sun.
Dino-Soarin'
We opted to ride this first because the line was really short haha. This is more of a kids ride where you ride a Pteranodon, and you can pilot it on your own, either you can soar it up high or down low. Kind of a slow ride but it was still fun.
Canopy Flyer
One of our favorite rides in USS! It is like a mini roller coaster wherein you have your feet hanging as your soar over the Jurassic Park area. Not that scary, those with fear of heights can still ride this. Really really worth the wait if there's a long line.
Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure
Of course, you're USS experience would not be complete if you haven't tried this ride. It's one of the most popular rides in USS, hence, the very long waiting time. Fortunately for us, this was the only ride with a 40minute waiting line so we opted to just fall in line. Before going in, don't forget to buy some raincoats or anything to cover you up so you won't get too wet, and also, leave all your belongings in the lockers available near the entrance of the ride. You can rent it for a certain amount of time for a fee, of course. Anyway, as the name implies, this is a rapids ride, therefore, you will get wet. It just depends on what side you're sitting on if you will get more wet than your companion haha. You will be riding a circular raft like and it will take you through, an apparently, chaotic Jurassic Park wherein dinosaurs have escaped and is attacking people. Be prepared for the last part, it's the best part of the ride!
Fossil Fuels
This is like a mini restaurant where you can have a quick bite/merienda, which features hotdogs, sausages, and frozen drinks.
Jurassic Outfitters
The souvenir store in the area selling themed hats, shirts, keychains, ballpens, etc. etc.
The Dino-Store
Another souvenir store in the area.
Anyway, after trying out all the rides, we decided to get some lunch at the Discovery Food Court. Of course being that it is inside USS, it's a bit pricey, but still, stomach filling, so not bad. In the middle of the food court stands a tall Trex bone, kind of like the lobby in the Jurassic Park movie, very cool! I ordered Chicken Hainanese meal and J ordered the ordinary roasted chicken. Each meal comes with drinks and a plateful of veggies we have no plan on eating haha.
After the slightly delicious lunch meal, we rested up a bit and then went onwards to the next area of the park: Ancient Egypt!
