Based on the hit film, this section of IOA is amazing. The entrance arc was duplicated from the film, as was the Discovery Center. The outside of the Discovery Center overlooks the entire lake of IOA.
Jurassic Park River Adventure --
Based on the hit film, this attraction takes guests in riverboats around the complex to see all the new dinosaurs that have been created. But, in true Jurassic Park tradition, something has gone terribly wrong! And the only way out is a 85 foot drop....
Triceratops Encounter --
This is by far one of the most astonishing attractions at IOA! Although geared towards younger children, visitors will enjoy this visually amazing attraction. Guests will visit a vetrinary paddock where dinosaurs are cared for. There they will learn about the history, feeding habits, and migration of the triceratops, and then.....actually come in contact with a triceratops itself!
Jurassic Park Discovery Center --

Ever dream of flying? Well, in Pteranadon Flyers, you can! Seated beneath the wings of these massive flying wonders, guests travel against the wind and over treetops in a man-made jungle. Great fun for kids.
Camp Jurassic --
This terrific playground area was designed specifically with kids in mind. Children (and their parents too....hehe) will enjoy this area filled with miniature volcanoes and waterfalls, suspension bridges, hidden caves, and much more.
This area is based on myths and legends. Did legends like Merlin and Poseidon really exist? Guests can explore what they believe to be real in this wonderful area of IOA.
Dueling Dragons --
One of the most popular attractions at IOA, Dueling Dragons is the world's first dueling inverted coaster. An inverted coaster is one that has the track above passengers instead of the usual layout. Visitors choose whether to ride the red coaster, Fire, or the blue coaster, Ice. Both giving a thrill ride.

Seuss Landing is geared more towards younger children. Marvelous attractions take guests into the crazy world of Dr. Seuss. With restaurants like Green Eggs and Ham, and craziness ensuing all around, visitors are sure to have a wonderful time.
The Cat In The Hat --
This attraction is wonderful. Visitors climb aboard couches and get transported through a wild adventure of turns and spins with the most famous Dr. Seuss character of all time. Follow him through his hijinks with Thing One and Thing Two....at least until mom comes home!
Caro-Seuss-el --
Have you ever been on a regular merry-go-round? Well, they just go around and around.....but not the Caro-Seuss-el. Yes it still goes around, but it also rocks up and down! Guests can also control the features of their mount. Some turn their heads, blink their eyes, and even rear back. Loads of fun.
