If you’ve ever been to Universal Studios Hollywood,
you’ve probably already enjoyed sinking your teeth into the nail-biting log
flume experience Jurassic Park: The Ride
that celebrates the original Jurassic Park, which director Steven
Spielberg himself couldn’t even finish at the opening in 1996 (although there
was no “running and screaming” reported).
Curious about something in particular..?

Clever Girl: The Truth Behind 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's' Indoraptor
SPOILER WARNING!
Now that you’ve seen Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom you’ll know it’s the first film in the franchise to end with a pretty major cliffhanger. In fact, it’s the first Jurassic to do a lot of things, like have a secret ending, a human clone, and… probably a dinosaur-human hybrid. Confused? Okay, such a thing is never talked about in the film, but it’s all about the devil in the detail – or in this case, the Indoraptor. When it comes to that awful script about dino-human hybrids from way, way back, “something has survived”. So let’s look at all the clues that suggest Fallen Kingdom’s socially-inept hybrid may not only be part-human, but part-Maisie….

'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Review: The Latest 'Jurassic' Sequel Brings Down The Franchise’s Fences Once And For All
Cast: Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Pratt, Isabella Sermon, B.D. Wong, Rafe Spall, Toby Jones, Daniella Pineda, Jeff Goldblum, Justice Smith, James Cromwell, Ted Levine
WARNING: Major spoilers ahead!
There was a
time when audiences thought they’d never see a Jurassic film grace the silver screen ever again. The franchise’s
14-year hiatus followed 2001’s dismal Jurassic
Park III, and the first few years of that absence saw fans scouring the
internet for any indication of a fourth film. Of course, there was that script – yes, the one involving
dinosaur-human hybrids – that, thankfully, fossilised before it ever saw the
light of a filmmaker’s laboratory. However, 2015’s monstrously-successful,
nostalgia-powered juggernaut Jurassic
World proved to be worth the long wait.

A Curious Wookie At Disneyland And Universal Studios
If you know us
personally (that’s me and Sian), then you’ll have no doubt attended our wedding
earlier this year. That means you know we’re a right pair of Disney buffs - and
film buffs too. So naturally, during our visit to LA we visited both Disneyland
and Universal Studios.

Kauai Part II: The Not-So-Lost Jurassic World
Following on from my post on our Jurassic Falls experience, during our
stay on Kauai we stayed in Kapaa, located on the east coast of the island. And
let me first mention that it was the best accommodation we've ever stayed in. The campus, composed of accommodation
blocks, was surrounded by tall palm trees, and beyond them gorgeous green mountains.

The Real Isla Nublar
I remember one of my very first blog posts where I joked about King Kong’s Skull
Island being on Google Maps. It is on there as a bit of a joke, but of course it doesn’t actually
exist in any shape or form, although scenes from the latest Kong movie were shot on
location in Vietnam as well as Kualoa Ranch in Hawai'i. However, there is a
fictional island that pretty much does exist: Jurassic Park’s Isla Nublar...

Welcome To Jurassic Park...
At Kualoa Ranch, the gates to Jurassic Park are always open
Since landing in Honolulu, Hawai'i a few days ago, we haven't just been lucky
enough to visit the city zoo where scenes from Jurassic World were filmed (see the elephant pictures below, whose
enclosure doubled as the film's Gentle Giants petting zoo), but just yesterday
morning we were even luckier to visit the real thing. Yes, we spent the day in
Oahu's Kualoa Ranch, where the box-office monsters Jurassic Park and Jurassic
World were filmed, in 1992 and 2014, respectively.
