The New Jurassic World Ride Accentuates What’s Good About the New Movies

Like many of you, I was skeptical when news broke that Universal Studios Hollywood was re-theming one of its most iconic rides.

Lego’s partnering with Universal for a new 13-episode animated mini-series called Lego Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar that takes place before both of the Jurassic World movies.
