The landscaping which really brings the Jurassic
Park River Adventure to life is the largest individual
planting project ever undertaken at Universal Studios
Hollywood.
Below is a list of some of the specimens on display:
- 353 palm trees of 11 species, including Sago, King, Queen, Kentia and Canary Island Date.
- 926 additional trees of 33 species, including Flame, Golden Rain, Orchid, Australian Tree Fern, Giant Bird of Paradise and Dragon.
- 7,441 shrubs, plants and flowers of 76 species, including Star Jasmine, Breath of Heaven, Rattlesnake Grass, Tasmanian Tree Fern, Shell Ginger, Mystery Gardenia, Sugar Bush, Bougainvillea and Giant Burmese Honeysuckle.
- 300 bamboo plants of six varieties.
Water
The waterfall which masks the final T Rex attack runs at 5,000 gallons per minute. The river consists of 1.4 million gallons of recycling water.
The mist used throughout the opening stages of the
adventure is actually a mist of water droplets, forced
through a series of tiny nozzles.
