Nighttime runs begin at 6:30 p.m.
The seasonal run uses two start times:
- Sept. 11 through Oct. 9: 6:30 p.m. until the park closes.
- Oct. 10 through Nov. 8: 6 p.m. until the park closes.
The attraction is listed at Jurassic Park - The Ride. Event times can change, and the park's closing time will determine the end of each night's window.
What the dark version changes
The nighttime version shifts into a blackout scenario after dinosaurs break loose and the power fails. The seasonal setup removes most of the usual visibility while the boat continues through the ride.
Before visiting, check the USJ event page for the latest start time and park-close schedule. CrowdLevels tracks the underlying attraction for planning context.
