Visitors start their trip to Jurassic World on a boat heading to the island. Instructions are given and once there, you get a close look of all the dinosaurs, some about 25 feet tall. You see the Raptors, and you even experience a security breach, where the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex is looking for a tasty snack, which could be you if you aren't careful.

"I love dinosaurs and I just love see them and I think its so cool," said 15-year-old Ty Simpkin, he played Gray Mitchell in the movie Jurassic World when he was 10.
