Jurassic Park: The Ride (solo trip)
How Solo-Friendly is Jurassic Park: The Ride?
What makes it 89% Solo-Friendly: The single-rider queue cuts waits, the intense 26-m splash entertains thrill-seekers, and no companion is needed, so a solo visitor gains maximum value.

This ride is very fun! It's similar to the first movie, starts off nice and you see the wonderful world of dinosaurs, then all of a sudden it gets intense with the dangerous dinosaurs coming into the mix, and at the end you see the T-Rex as you experience an insane drop!
