History
In 1994, when Universal was first in development for its first theme park in Mexico, the it was planned during the time, which the latter was originally pitched as an actual theme park based on Steven Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster film Jurassic Park. The park would’ve featured the settings where guests would’ve virtually ventured through the world of the movie, showcasing life-size film’s replicas, along with attractions, rides, animatronic dinosaurs based on the film, and as well as animal exhibits housing with animals such as alligators, opossums, living fossils, tortoises, fishes, and others.

In 1995 however, during the Paramount Pictures’ 1995 film Congo was released in theaters, the planned second theme park was switched its theming to be based on two of the adventure works of Michael Crichton, and their film adaptations, which includes Jurassic Park, but scrapped due to Congo received negative critical reception upon its release.
