The many festivities surrounding the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park will continue into July, as Universal Products & Experiences and Amblin Entertainment will be bringing a massive activation to San Diego Comic Con. The two day experience is set to take place between July 21 and July 22 and will recreate some iconic moments from the 1993 film.
Be sure to “Hang, on to your butts” because the activation will recreate the infamous scene where corporate attorney Donald Gennaro (played by Martin Ferrero) attempts to run and hide is ultimately attacked by the Dilophosaurus and then his ill-fated toilet trip when he eventually meets up with the T. Rex! As, Dr. Ian Malcom said, “When you gotta go, you gotta go”! A first look at the activation, seen above, shows a recreation of that famous toilet and a definite visit from the T. Rex!
Visitors will also be greeted by meticulously crafted scenes, bringing the 1993 prehistoric park to life right before their eyes,” according to a press release. There’s also a “Visitor’s Center” selling merch and special Jurassic Park-themed food to eat.
“The legacy of Jurassic Park is felt across the world,” said Melissa Rodriguez, vice president of franchise strategy for Universal Products & Experiences. “The film has stayed entrenched in the hearts and minds of viewers since its initial release 30 years ago, while also delighting new fans every year. We’re looking forward to celebrating the footprint this film has left on fans globally through special events, unique merchandise, games and more!”
The Jurassic Park installation will run from July 21-22 between 10am – 8pm PST at San Diego Comic-Con International. Tickets are completely free and can be reserved this coming Thursday (June 29) at 9am PST // 12pm EST.
Additional details on the limited event are scheduled to drop within the coming weeks. SDCC 2023 runs from July 20-23.
