San Diego Comic-Con will feature an exciting new experience based on the iconic film Jurassic Park, coinciding with its 30th anniversary since its release in July 1993. The collaboration between Universal Products & Experiences and Amblin Entertainment brings a free, timed-entry event called Step Into Jurassic Park, allowing guests to relive the movie’s most memorable moments.
Fans of this enduring franchise will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the action like never before. They can walk in the footsteps of Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, and revisit the events that started it all. From encountering Dennis Nedry’s (Wayne Knight) Dilophosaurus to reliving the nerve-wracking toilet scene with Donald Gennaro (Martin Ferrero) and the Tyrannosaurus rex, attendees will witness faithful recreations of these iconic scenes. In addition, the two-day event will offer Jurassic Park-themed snacks and exciting giveaways for fans to enjoy.
This experience comes at a time when several Hollywood studios, including Universal, are choosing not to bring star-led panels to San Diego due to complications arising from the ongoing WGA strike that began in early May. While awaiting a decision on whether SAG-AFTRA will join the strike, studios are uncertain about the availability of their biggest names for such events.
Since Steven Spielberg’s original movie hit theaters in 1993, Jurassic Park has spawned five sequels and emerged as one of the highest-grossing franchises in history. While the subsequent films garnered mixed commercial and critical reception, none managed to reach the heights achieved by their predecessor. Nevertheless, Jurassic Park continues to be cherished worldwide as a beloved franchise. Universal’s theme parks are also celebrating its 30th anniversary, inviting fans to visit Universal Orlando and experience the iconic gates and immersive adventures in the Land of Adventure. Exciting rides like “Jurassic Park River Adventure” and “Jurassic World VelociCoaster” await, along with a new themed Tribute Store offering clothing, merchandise, and collectibles.
Step Into Jurassic Park will be available to fans at pre-booked time slots from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. PT on July 21-22. Reservations for the event can be made starting at 9 a.m. PT on June 29 through Jurassic Park’s official website.
