Jurassic Park-Like Jeep Ride w/ NO Track! Drive Yourself Attraction | PANGEA at Movieland
[4K] "Expedition Pangea the World of Dinosaurs" is one of the coolest rides at Movieland Italy. Here you can actually drive your own jeep through forest to see dinosaurs like in Jurassic Park! No track or anything. You drive in rugged terrain and up steep hills too. Can't think of any attraction at any theme park in the world that let you drive a car with no track. Autopia at Disneyland for example uses track.
"An adventurous journey on board specially made jeeps will transport you into a forest populated by realistic animated reproductions of the most famous dinosaurs, which will come to life before your eyes. The jeeps have the unique characteristic of being able to be driven independently thanks to a radar positioning system" - www.canevaworld.it/en/pangea....

Ride filmed May 2023 at Movieland Theme Park in Italy.
Everyone criticising the animatronics' quality please be aware that Movieland is a small family owned theme park and should not under any circumstances be held to the same standard as Disney or Universal. Not yet anyways.
The creativity and uniqueness absolutely elevates it beyond something you'd experience at one of the other major parks. Knott's Berry Farm, whilst now owned by Cedar Fair that has injected its own flair into the park, still has a lot of that family home-grown feel you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere. The stagecoach is fun, Ghost Town Alive is an absolutely unique seasonal event, and the Calico Mine Ride and Timber Mountain Log Ride are absolute classics. I honestly love the vibes that family home-grown parks can have.
IMO the creativity is in those ride vehicles and the system that makes you believe that you are driving. Although I could do without the lawnmower sound like it's a go-kart at Disneyland, but definitely was cool as a concept.
It looks pretty amazing to me! I’d love a ride where you could drive yourself instead of being on a track, and I think the animatronics look great. ❤❤
Honestly, I thought they were pretty good. Especially given they're all outdoors. I hope they can keep up with them.
There only jealous they can’t ride it
A ride concept like this can give ENDLESS possibilities for a lot of theme parks across the globe!
You mean an endless number of ways for something go wrong, epople get hurt, and sue.
@@grayrabbit2211 That's not why they wouldn't/won't do it. You can make it so the ride is driving itself, taking your inputs but ignoring them if you go outside of a set of boundaries; that's basically how "fly by wire" flight controls on an aircraft works. The reason why you won't see this in many places is: 1. It takes up a lot of room. 2. It would require a lot more work on the part of the ride designer to give a consistently good experience (every time you hit an invisible wall or the ride takes over for you would snap you out of any immersion you had) 3. the number of riders it can accommodate per hour is too low
@@grayrabbit2211who cares
@@Kandralla That's exactly way they wouldn't do it, too much can go wrong and to many possibilities of lawsuits.
@@grayrabbit2211 ok, it gives endless possibilities outside of america, the rest of the world isnt as quick to sue, plus, if you operate the thing the way your should you'll be fine, if you dont and get hurt its your own damn fault. if you ride a bike like an idiot and hit a post and get hurt you cant sue the company that built the bike, it was your own doing.
I mean, for such a small park, this is an EXTREMELY ambitious design. It's a little rough around the edges, but it obviously wasn't built on a billionaire budget, which is absolutely understandable. They did a huge amount with a small budget, and I respect that deeply. The fact that they didn't use a guide track is... Well, I'm glad THEY have faith in the average theme park guest not to immediately start trying to use the vehicles as bumper cars... but the end result speaks for itself.
You have got to be kidding me 😂
the guest dont actually drive them
Lol you can tell he's not driving or he would have hit everything.
You actually drive the car by yourself, but several sensors will stop or redirect the car if you get too close to objects
@baldoguide9759 WUT. I would be petrified. I thought that was an employee guide at the wheel. Just in general, I ain’t driving with dinosaurs in my periphery, just no.
The fact you even get to drive the car yourself is really cool, it’s not just an automatic cart you’re forced to just sit in watch passively everything going by. Very neat
It’s 95% automatic. It’s essentially the modern day equivalent of a guide track that let you go left or right by a few inches. Now a days the tech is more advanced and they either use an underground tracking system or proximity sensors. Multiple times you see him turn so much he would have made a 90* turn into a wall.
i've never seen an attraction like this before but it looks incredibly promising. hope we can see more interactive/passenger controlled experiences similar to this and millenium falcon smuggler's run at disneyland. it would open up huge opportunities for the future of theme parks and allow for more integration of technology like virtual or augmented reality
You and I both know that nearly daily, some idiot is going to get behind that wheel and crash, ram someone else, get themselves seriously injured, and sue the park for their own stupidity
@@Rite1010.I strongly suspect that the “drive it yourself” aspect is mostly an illusion and only within strict limits. I will bet that the ride control system actually keeps the vehicles within spacing and roadway parameters and only lets you “drive” within those limits.
The fact you drive yourself is amazing.
Fact: This was how the original Jurassic Park The Ride idea was originally going to be before they got the inspiration for the ride from the original novel!🦖🦕
Thank you for not feeling the need to say "fun" before "fact." It's like people think they have to imply a fact is fun to get people to notice them.
@englishatheart It doesn’t say fun as the first word? Not reading. Bye.
@@albertjimeno5315 There! I put it! HAPPY?!!!
Yeah the Novel had man made waterfalls.
@@javierandrade3230bro r u good? They are thanking you for NOT putting “fun” and you decided to put the word “fun.” You literally did what they didn’t want. Learn to read
It's honestly not too dissimilar from something like Autopia. Just instead of a physical guide rail, you're kept on track with collision sensors. It'd be cool to see Autopia updated with modern tech like this. It'd be cool to see Autopia updated with modern anything.
Would be cool to see that ride and the submarine ride replaced with something better
Autopia should get rid of the awful gas engines and replaced with electric motors.
Yeah, starting with HEADLIGHTS!!!
@@Xaunaturalz They would have to find some way to charge them in a safe way though.
@@Xaunaturalzmaybe hydrogen or propane engines. I’m not much of an electric fan.
Wow. This is unlike anything out there right now. To drive an amusement ride by yourself? I'm impressed. It sounds and looks like a tractor concept. I would love to try this out. Props to the person taking video. It looks like you have 2 different cameras you are working at the same time. Kudos
Someone above stated it had sensors to keep it on track so it doesn't require a guiding rail.. you can tell obviously the wheel doesn't sync up with the movements.. I do wonder if he can control the speed at all, it reminds me of the vintage car rides but this looks much better. It is a great ride idea and I'm glad they figured out how to make rides without needing guide rails which takes you out of the experience.
its the vintage car ride with gps technology and electric steering
@@someoneout-there2165oh like those kid car rides.. that's still cool th4 illusion of your driving
@@npcimknot958 Yeah I can imagine kids having a blast being the ones allowed to "drive" their parents around.
@@someoneout-there2165 Still, this makes it more unique than the rail-less rides where you only sit and the vehicle moves by its own to each section. Even if this is exactly the same, the fact it actually goes outside and has actual wheels is pretty cool.
Honestly for a smaller owned theme park. This is very creative. Would love for the dinosaurs to be less statue like and have more movement but looks fun! Amazing job to the creators.
The adventure aspect of this alone sells it for me. As cool as it looks (to me), have to imagine it's even better in person driving/riding in the jeep.
IT has been a long time since a ride concept thrilled me as much as this one. I can think of a million reasons this ride would not work in Florida but that is exactly why it is so exciting. Even if they did put a guide rail in the center of the road it would still keep a lot of the appeal.
This attraction, this resort is honestly world class entertainment! Doesn't matter they don't have the budget like Disney. I would choose such a unique and creative Themepark always over this.
I visited both gardaland and movieland a few days apart a couple of years ago, and I can say that movieland left a much better impression on me and provided much better entertainment, even though it is much smaller and cannot be compared to gardaland. my opinion is that this concept of amusement parks is their future, with even more animations, holograms and the use of technology. Movieland - thumbs up!
They honestly need to do this ride for universal studios Orlando I bet kids and adults alike would love this so much I know I would it looks so awesome
I can’t imagine something like this at one of those brand name parks that would ever allow someone to have control of the ride. 😂. It would be a logistical nightmare and their insurance probably can’t even go any higher then it already is lol!! But it sure would be cool anyway!
@@ABitefLife I would like to see something similar but with the gyrospheres but on a track of some sort
@@mattstjean11 right me to I would so love this for Orlando Jurassic park omg
@@ABitefLife what about a gyrosphere ride like in Jurassic world ride in Orlando that would be amazing lol
Even better they need the Shanghai Jurassic Park ride, it's way better than this and the other Universal Jurassic rides
What a great concept! It could be outstanding with better animated dinosaurs !
won't work; one guy will jump out and stand by a prop to take pic/vid ( and you are there waiting for 10 mins;) or kids in car ahead jumping around and running around (trust me; I've see it all.). Remember in a "fun house' in New Jersey a guy used his lighter to see, burned down the attraction (it was in a trailer; no emm. exit or sprinklers) and KILLED two people. PEOPLE ARE DUMB.
@RickSpears If/When they do something like this at the Universal theme parks here in the US, I think they should use the glass balls from the first "Jurassic World" movie: "Hey, man...off-road." (6/15/2023)
@@esciteach7997 😧 You are so right. I work in a museum, and I always say, "This would be a great place without the visitors!"
@@daniellemusella1594 But, can you imagine how hot it would get inside with the California or Florida sun blasting through?!
@@rickspears3525 I'm confident that the people in charge of creating such a ride would be able to factor in some sort of air-conditioning. (6/16/2023)
The raptor operating the forklift is in obvious violation of numerous OSHA codes.
I've never seen a dinosaur themed rid that lets you drive before! It is so awesome! While it would be cooler if some of the animatronics moved a bit more, for a family owned theme park, this is amazingly done that it makes up for the lack of movement! I hope that more rides are like this one.
A hybrid of Jurassic Park ride at Universal and Indiana Jones and Autopia at Disney.
There actually used to be a ride very similar to this, minus the dinosaur theming at a now defunct traffic focused themepark (Verkeerspark Assen) in The Netherlands. Where you could drive gasoline powered jeeps around a "off road" course. There was no theming, but still very neat to drive a jeep on a non- fixed track course. So it would allow for turns (when allowed) to skip a part or take a more adventurous route. It's good these types of rides still exist! They are a lot of fun!
"Where you could drive gasoline powered jeeps around a "off road" course. There was no theming, but still very neat to drive a jeep on a non- fixed track course. " Soooo, basically just Europeans taking the American concept of a "Jeep Trail" and turning it into a theme park ride? Sounds boring. Oh, and there's no need to specify them as "gasoline powered jeeps", Jeeps are, by default, gasoline powered.
@Princess_Celestia_ Yes, for Americans that would be boring. It's all about perspective. Also the height requirement was 54 inches, so anyone that met this height requirement regardless of age could drive these cars. Especially in a country with extremely strict driving regulations, this was a breath of fresh air. Like I said, it's all about perspective. What seems boring to you, could be something amazing for someone else.
@Princess_Celestia_ Ooh, you sound a bit assmad. Take your meds bud
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while, thanks for sharing!
I suggest to come from next year, because they still build they're most longest attraction, " Disaster". Fortunately in that day, here all the effects was on, but I can see why, on that same day, the effects on the boat ride was off: the weather wasn't great. Anyway yes, Movieland is an underrated park, for most enthusiast theme park clients, expecially USA ones. For us Italians is the best park ( in Italy ) because the theming is really good, with rare and unique rides, owned by a family, it's a hidden gem. It's small, but it's a near full day park. It's without a doubt better than Gardaland. I tried to get Coaster Studios to come, but with no avail ( they are in UK now ).
@alexpandolfi8588 what?
@@420hotbox36 What I can re tell you? Did you know and visited the park before? Did you know what are the effects on Pangea and Kitt Superjet? I will re tell you the second time for you. 1) Probably in Halloween 2023 event ( as soft opening) but 100% surely in 2024, Movieland will open Disaster, the tram tour, and it will have the double length of Pangea. It's their biggest investment so, I suggest LMG ( I know his channel ), to wait, if he have plan to visit this year, because from 2024, it will be better, if he want to ride their new ride. 2) Movieland is a family owner park, and a lot of his rides are built in-house, as Pangea and Kitt superjet ( did you see the video from this channel yet? ). Pangea on Attraction 360°'s day recording was perfect, with all the effects on, while Kitt, the special effects during the ride were off, due to the weather ( LMG Vids, surely saw that Pov, and so I meant it to him ). 3) LMG is a USA channel, so like them, a lot of USA don't know about the existence of this park, before. They know Gardaland but no Movieland which is a better and a lot better maintain park than Gardaland, which is litterally only a 2-3 miles of distance away. I hope this park will be better known, because being family owned and on unique and/or rare attractions, he really deserves it. Other channels like Coaster Studios, still haven't visited it, because they are currently underestimating it.
This is so cool there should be more off-track off-road themed rides. The sensors on the screen is a really neat feature.
The possibilities of this are amazing. Couple this with the animatronics in the JWE Beijing ride that follow the car and you could have a legitimately terrifying chase scene.
That wouldn't work in the USA cause people at the back will shout at you if you're slow 😂.
More like idiots would crash the car or get out to take pics. I would have totally miss the trex at the end if the guy didnt point it out. I would have just kept driving straight. Cool ride tho
Lol true
@webguy943 and that doesn't happen around the world
@@Crunchy_Cool not true because most drivers in the US are great
You're wrong because it happens everywhere
Self driving is a brilliant concept!
I live close to this park, they work REALLY well with not any Main famous brand in the back! they are doing an AMAZING job and they are always growing step by step every year
movieland♥I had a great time there, much fun
Rode it this weekend, and it’s moderately entertaining. The music is really difficult to listen to on constant repeat though, and the whole attraction could benefit from a few additional effects, even something as simple as fog or lighting and sound effects.
Where is this?
@@Alemissyb Movieland in Garda Italy
That was bloody fantastic.
I loved how you were pointing at things. You seemed so excited like “look at this! Look at that!”
As an American i can say... we couldnt handle the responsibility of driving ourselves 😅
That ride looked amazing you get to drive your self through a Jurassic park style set I loved how the set was made and the animatronics looked awesome
This isn't Disney or Universal? Pretty amazing for an independent park. It isn't really 'Drive Yourself'. It appears to be some sort of wireless/cable underground driving. I saw the driver spin the wheel to the right several times, and the car kept going straight, and the steering wheel was never really centered, and it still kept going straight. Cool ride, I hope to visit it sometime. It looks to be temporally closed, hopefully it is just a seasonal thing, and not permanent.
The description clearly states there is no track or cables for the Jeeps.
I didn’t know these kinds of rides existed, it would be cool for me to realistically and actually get to drive the vehicle myself on thjs
Does the dude driving have to literally point at everything 🤣
😅😅
I’ve never understood why universal studious still hasn’t redesigned the boat rides to be Jeep’s on tracks with a long track and feeling of being chased by a trex.he boat is such a weird way to have done Jurassic park justice.
Plus they ruined the ride now with Jurassic world theme. It’s so dumb looking, those movies are junk in my opinion.
The boat ride is cool. Either there is the boat ride, or no ride at all. So be glad we have a Jurassic ride. It does the novel and the movie justice.
@@Stewieboy1995, you might not like the movies but the Jurassic World ride they built is extremely well done if you like fast roller coasters
Well the river ride is based off the novel and deleted scene
@@freelands8355No. It isn't. Not once is there anything in the books that would inspire a RIVER ride. Which movie would have had any deleted scenes that could possibly inspire a river ride?
This is what Jurassic The Ride should have been...just 10x more Dinos!!!
I never seen this ride before of Jurassic Park!!!! Awesome video!!!! This is an amazing ride!!!!
Beautiful
I love this! Anyone bashing the animatronics can jump in a lake, for a small park this ride is amazing, innovative and fun! I can't wait to see how it progresses over the years, it's got a wonderful start already!
That looks like fun , to be able to drive the jeep by yourself , we need something like that in the US !
Oh the lawsuits…
I can see this being a really good idea. Only problem is I'm also seeing people damage the equipment or generally be idiots with it too: "Hey ma! Watch me drive this jeep outta the ride, hyuk."
It looks like the ride won’t allow you to do that. It had collision/path sensors showing on the screen if you got too far off route. When the driver here tried to make a tighter turn out of the little theme scene near the end it stopped him and he had to reverse before he could turn more and continue forward.
It doesn’t look like he’s actually driving this vehicle.
@@pastorlife1569you drive the veichle, it has sensor and not allow you to go at the edge of the path
Hey there, I work as a stuntman there. Usually you got the guys at the start operating who can easily reach you to help with a dirt bike if you crash or get stuck!
This is absolutely insane, I could see there being a deposit and waiver if this was at another park. it's a little rough with the music and how you see the windows media player logo when it switches videos. Also a lot of the dinos aren't functional. but it's so cool that you get to navigate on your own. Appears the vehicle at least has bumper sensors, perhaps a crash avoidance system. it would be interesting to know how they handle vehicles that get get stuck or of course
It doesn’t look like he is actually driving. It looks like he’s pretending to drive. It seems like this is a self driving jeep.
@@pastorlife1569He is clearly driving the thing. At two different points, the vehicle has to stop and backup. Self driving vehicles are NOT even close to that advanced yet.
@@protoborg Bro, come on! The car doesn't even have brakes.
The raptor in the forklift, lol. Love it.
Wow Italy has an amazing theme park wow! I’d go if I ever went to Italy 🇮🇹 wow I gotta remember movie land
Imagine this attraction with the animatronics of Universal's Jurassic World attraction! As it is, the interesting gimmick of driving the vehicle yourself through the attraction is marred by, well, the rest of it.
This is super cool, are the animatronics and statues lifelike, no, do they need to be to have an incredible experience, no. I would love to do this. It looked like so much fun! Hopefully we see something similar to this in America someday, though it could be an excuse to go to Italy! Like I really need another reason!! thanks for the great content.
xD I love the raptor who's fork-lift certified
Absolutely fantastic. So clever and well-done. Thanks for posting.
Looks great fun I see.
If it started raining on this tour I would freak out and drive straight out the park
😂😂😂😂
It's very unique and a really cool ride. I kinda wish Universal had a Jeep Tour for Jurassic Park
If only Movieland had a larger budget for the animatronics. This is a really cool idea.
This ride is exciting!
I really love this attraction. One of the best rides out in Europe in one of the most underrated parks ever.
that looks like so much fun!!!! we have a little park where you walk through a nature area passing dinosaurs of various kinds and the kids LOVE it. They would have a blast on that one.
WOW... what a fun ride ! Would love to due this
Awesome
this is a cool concept for a ride like, Could you imagine if additional effects could be added? This should be a more wide spread ride
If I was a kid, this would be the coolest ride ever.
You can drive youreself? This is amazing! The “offroading” is awesome
Impressive.
I wonder what the best lap time is around this circuit 😅
There may not be a track, but there has to be some kind of limit to the driver's control. You can see the driver in the video oversteering a bit and the vehicle never leaves the path. Also, I hope these cars don't ever break down in the middle of the ride. Can you imagine stepping out into several inches of water and then trying to walk up the next incline to find an exit? There's a reason why Disneyland has well-developed ride evacuation procedures. Rides always break down - eventually.
Pretty _interesting (😃)!_ Reminds me of the cancelled "Jeep Safari" ride planned for the "Jurassic Park" land at Islands of Adventure.
Ahh I knew someone was going to bring it up 😆an ur right
@@maruozon8795 😁
I think they should bring it back
@@freelands8355 Agreed (👍).
It actually looks like fun! Another good excuse to travel to Italy! 😁❤️
Love the concept, imagine this but with a Tokyo Disney budget! 🙂
7:05 "Mission Accomplished, you are now safe and sound" - Meanwhile a T-Rex is currently heavily breathing on the jeep.
So cool, was hoping for more dinosaurs along the way but still fun!
Sounds like a lawn mower engine😂
It probably is.
I have experienced this attraction many times because I live near the park. I can assure you that there are no rails, underground tracks or "esoteric systems" to steer the jeep. The steering wheel has a lot of gearing, meaning you have to turn the steering wheel a lot to make the tires steer a little. This gives the impression that the steering wheel is not connected to the wheels. You only have one pedal to throttle. If you release the pedal the jeep brakes. The engine's RPM is controlled by an RPM controller similar to a lawn mower's RPM controller, when the slope of the terrain increases the engine drops in RPM and the controller gives more throttle. Hidden in the four corners of the jeep are lidar-type radar sensors. If you get close to the edges of the track, the jeep slows down. If you are too close to the edge the jeep automatically brakes. To unlock the jeep you have to countersteer and reverse until you are far enough from the edges (the jeep automatically engages reverse). I hope I have been helpful
for a small theme park, this is absolutely great
Well this is soo much better than autotopia at disney like the fact theres no track and you can actuly steer is insane. really hope disney looks at this and uses some of the tech to update that ride
And comments like this are why I hate Universal elitists ._. Heck, I'd rather go to a Paramount theme park if it had TMNT and Transformers attractions than to waste my time on Universal studios since I'm starting to like Paramount's movies over Universal's now because of how stupid Universal fanbases like DreamWorks and Oppenheimer are.
bro this is sick
Amazing 😻 Dinosaurs 🦕
This is genuinely a very interesting concept for a ride! It can only get better from here!
I love it! I'll take these animatronics over Disney's lame projection screens every day of the week.
3:43 windows xp logo
"Look, a ride you can drive yourself on with NO track!" **shows a ride with a road that you can't deviate from**
This is pretty cool. Almost like driving a riding lawnmower. LOL
Loved this whole new level of immersion.
Cool idea
For a small family owned park this ride is incredible !! They don't have big sponsors or the money like the large parks
Man, I love this Idea! How come the Universal never thought of this?
Imagine if Universal tore down the traditional water ride for Jurassic Park / Jurassic World and made it into a legit jeep park tour where, obviously, something goes wrong and you have to outrun a t-Rex or indominous Rex. In Beijing they already have an animatronic on a track that chases you. Imagine blending that with this.
I wish they would expand that area to add that awesome idea
Awesome attraction.
That reminds me... Universal's Islands of Adventure was, in fact, going to have a Jurassic Park themed ride called Jeep Safari, but it was cancelled, unfortunately. If they had gone along with it, it would've been built in the spot where Skull Island: Reign of Kong had been built instead. Seeing this also reminds me of the automated self-driving car and animatronic dinosaurs that were seen in the Netflix interactive special "Hidden Adventure" of Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous.
i love it!!💚🦕
I LOVE theme parks in other countries! This is awesome!
Wow,! I think this is fantastic. Yep, right up my alley!❤
This is so cool! I do think it could have been better with a bigger t-rex and more animatronic dinosaurs
I'm a fan of those jeeps! I would be happy driving it and looking at grass.
Does anything stop people from crashing into things? Very cool concept
yeah, there’s an anti-collision system
The dinosaurs need more motion, which is difficult considering the outdoor setting and limited budget. I would submit for consideration: 1. A few pteranadons fly over the road, suspended from camouflaged rails. Ahead of the jeeps, in the middle distance, would enforce the illusion. Loud screeches would draw the drivers attention before the fly-over. 2. Larger dinosaurs could move on ground rails, their lower bodies hidden by carefully placed rocks and vegetation. 3. What is imagined can be very scary and relatively cheap. Rustling bushes and dinosaur sounds with a glimpse of moving head or tail would be very effective. 4. Drive through a dark cave with the sound of scurrying and tiny glowing red eyes blinking in the dark, along with am overhead roar and a blast of foul breath. 5. Utahraptor suits worn by employees in waist high vegetation to hide human legs stalking the jeep on both sides of the road. Just a few things I'd like to see on such a ride. A little more practical than expensive animatronics.
Great concept but I can imagine all the accidents and drunk driving that might come from this at theme parks lol
That is wild!
the sound of the jeep is really reminiscent of a lawnmower. reminds me of the choreographed lawn mowing team, actually.
Great video-not sure there enough pointing, lol. Thanks guys!
This would be a great concept but after I've seen the idiots at Disney (climbing out of ride vehicles, sticking body parts out of ride vehicles, climbing on top platforms that say to not climb etc) I could see this not ending well. Someone would drive off the road and hit an animatronic. I guess I just don't trust others to behave like normal sane people.
Looks fun. Just for the scenery.
Nice park very good
What a hoot. Movie land is on the bucket list 🎉
