Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
For all its thrilling dinosaur encounters and explosive set pieces, Jurassic World has been missing something simple and soaked in suspense: a dinosaur attacking a vehicle.
It’s a sequence etched into Jurassic Park‘s DNA. Spielberg’s original 1993 film set a towering Tyrannosaurus Rex upon a jeep with screaming kids inside. It’s a rain-soaked, nightmare-fueled ambush that remains one of the most intense action sequences ever put to film.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) doubled down with its cliffside trailer attack, giving us not one, but two Rexes and a dangling glass pane over jagged rocks. Even Jurassic Park III (2001), for all its misfires, gave us a Spinosaurus that tore through a plane like tissue paper.

But the Jurassic World trilogy? It all but dropped the concept. Aside from a brief moment in the original 2015 film — the Indominus Rex trying to eat a Gyrosphere — the sequels drifted away from the signature experience. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Jurassic World Dominion (2022) have plenty of dinosaurs, sure, but not the intimacy of a confined attack. No metal creaking. No glass cracking. No slow realization that survival depends on staying absolutely still. But that’s all set to change with Jurassic World Rebirth (2025).
The upcoming film, set to hit theaters on July 2, finally brings to life what fans have quietly craved for decades: the long-missing river sequence from Michael Crichton’s original 1990 novel, “Jurassic Park”. The second official trailer shows the Delgado family rafting down a jungle river as a T-Rex stalks them through the water. Watch it below:

The most exciting thing about this sequence? Well, it has a dinosaur and a vehicle in the same frame, which means one thing: it’s a trap. For the first time in decades, we’re back to the tension that made Jurassic Park what it was — not just dinosaurs running loose, but people trapped inside things while facing creatures that see steel and glass, or in this case, rubber and PVC, as nothing more than a wrapper around their lunch.
Jurassic World Rebirth releases in theaters on July 2.
The film stars Scarlett Johansson (Avengers: Endgame), Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton), Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer), Rupert Friend (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Mahershala Ali (The Green Book), Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (Dead Boy Detectives), Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs Lopez), Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF), and Ed Skrein (Deadpool).
