Chris Pratt had to get into character and tame a dinosaur during the opening of the Jurassic World ride at Universal Studios Hollywood on Monday, July 22. The actor was joined by his co-star Bryce Dallas Howard and the film’s director, Colin Trevorrow. The ride is an updated version of the original experience, which opened in 1996 and operated until 2018.
Fans will still have the chance to explore Jurassic Park, this time with more frights and splashes. Chris and Bryce reprise their roles for portions of the ride, which is based on the film. The stars, and the members of the audience, were in for a surprise when one of the film’s stars made an appearance.
Chris knew just what to do when Blue (the cuddly Velociraptorhis in the film) made quite the entrance when it was time for photos. Scroll ahead for more photos from the exciting opening.
