Pteranodon Flyers

Pteranodon Flyers is the most kid-friendly ride in Jurassic Park at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. This unique attraction at Universal Orlando Resort is specially designed with younger guests in mind, offering a gentle and exciting flying experience without the intensity of bigger thrill rides. As riders soar above Camp Jurassic, they’ll glide smoothly beneath the wings of a Pteranodon, gently swaying from side to side while enjoying scenic views of Jurassic Park. It’s the perfect first “flying” ride for little adventurers!

The Mouse For Less Tips

  • Because this ride can have up to an hour wait at certain times of day or peak seasons, be sure to download the official Universal Orlando Resort app to view real-time waits.
  • Sitting in the front seat offers a wide-open, panoramic view of Jurassic Park and Camp Jurassic. As you soar above the treetops, you’ll enjoy a peaceful, elevated perspective—perfect for spotting the VelociCoaster, hidden waterfalls, and the lush tropical landscape below.
