In July 2019 the reimagined Jurassic World—The Ride opened. Check out The Making of Jurassic World—The Ride here. And for those a little timid to face the dinosaurs, Universal Studios also opened the walk-up Isla Nu-Bar.
The thatched-roof bar serves a variety of island-inspired cocktails, and the obligatory collectible tiki mugs are, of course, on sale. For now, though, we have to be creative, and what would be better than trying two original recipes from the Isla Nu-Bar? Show us your creativity. We would love to see your pictures!
