- Shreks 4D Adventure - Participants are led into a dungeon-like room with two giant television screens on either side. On the screen, Lord Farquaad announces that he has kidnapped the Three Little Pigs, Gingerbread man, and Pinocchio and is holding them hostage. He says that he will torture everybody for answers. After a brief tutorial from the ride operator, the cinema doors are opened and people take their seats. The short film takes place right after the first Shrek film. In it, the spirit of Lord Farquaad returns from the dead to kidnap Princess Fiona. Therefore, it is up to Shrek and Donkey to rescue her. Although the animation is 3-D, the ride is a 4-D film, which means it is designed to make viewers feel what they are watching. For example when Donkey sneezes, the front of the seats spray mist into viewers' face. It also has movable seats, air jets and rubber tubing, to simulate other effects such as air, "creepy crawlies" and other movements. The animated film produced for the ride was later released on DVD under the modified title Shrek 3-D and included a couple of pairs of 3-D glasses. The DVD included a 3D version along with a version without 3D effects.

- ET Adventure - The current ride, has guests begin by entering a sound stage. Before going into the queue, Steven Spielberg tells us that E.T.'s teacher Botanicus needs E.T. to come to his home world, "The Green Planet" because the planet is dying. Only E.T.'s magical healing touch can save the planet, so it is up to the guests to bring him home. He also tells the guests that you make your journey on bikes, and that you need a "Interplanetary Passport" to get there. The guest gives the assistant their name and the card is programmed with it, which is used later in the ride. The interior queue is a forest setting where it is established that the police are looking for E.T. Guests then board the ride vehicle which is a car suspended from a track. Each individual seat is a bicycle, whose handles come down as the lap bar. The bike in the middle of the front row contains E.T. The vehicles travel past NASA and police officials who give chase and try to arrest the riders. As they are about to be caught, the bicycles begin to fly over the city and then into outerspace. Arriving at the Green Planet, the guests encounter Botanicus who urges the visitors to save E.T.'s friends. E.T.'s healing touch travels through the planet, reviving his friends and beginning a celebration with baby E.T.s. At the end, guests pass an animatronic E.T. who thanks them all by the name they gave to the travel agents.

- Back to the Future - The Ride - Riders enter the ride as "volunteers" for a time travel experiment at Emmett Brown's fictional Institute of Future Technology. Brown explains that the plan is for them to travel one day into the future, but that caution must be exercised as Biff Tannen has escaped his time period and is now running amok in the space-time continuum. Once inside, Brown reveals some of the inventions he has been working on, including his "crowning achievement" - an 8-passenger De Lorean time machine, which is what the riders will be using in the experiment. Unbeknownst to Brown, however, Tannen has infiltrated the Institute - he appears to the riders, asking for assistance in finding Brown's time machine. Tannen traps Brown in his office, and it is revealed that he escaped 1955 when employees of Brown took the original De Lorean to 1955 for an experiment; Tannen stowed away when they make the return journey. He steals the time machine and vanishes into time. Frantic, Brown pleads with the visitors to assist him; they enter the 8-passenger time vehicle and follow Tannen into time. First, Biff leads the riders to Hill Valley in 2015, where they chase him through town. They smash into neon signs, flying over neighborhoods and the town square, the chase culminating at the iconic clock tower. He then departs for the ice age. The riders follow, and slowly lower into the icy caverns of the ice age. Biff honks his horn, causing an avalanche that damages the riders' vehicle. Flying out of the caverns, the car sees Biff shoot away into time, but their own engine has failed, and begins to plummet down a waterfall. Brown manages to restart the vehicle, accelerating backward and through time into the Cretaceous Period. Upon arriving, the clock display on the De Lorean's dashboard blinks 12:00, as a reference to a videocassette recorder that has lost power. The riders follow Biff's vehicle into a dormant, volcano in which a pair of Tyrannosaurus are discovered. Tannen goads one into attacking the riders, who barely escape to discover Tannen facing down another. The dinosaur strikes Tannen's car, sending it flying out of control; the dinosaur then swallows the riders' car, but Brown bucks the car until the dinosaur spits it out mere seconds later. The riders then drop down onto a lava river to see Biff's De Lorean, now damaged and unable to maneuver, moving down an active lava flow toward the edge of a cliff. As both vehicles plunge over the edge, the riders' car accelerates to time travel speed and bumps Tannen's, sending both of them back to the original point of departure - the present, at the Institute of Future Technology, where Biff gets out, thanks us and Dr. Brown, but is soon grabbed by security and taken away. Riders exit the vehicle, as Brown thanks them and admonishes them that "the future is what you make it!"
- Backdraft
- Jurassic Park The ride is meant to evoke the island environment featured in the Michael Crichton novel and Spielberg film. The concept is that Jurassic Park opened as planned; the river adventure is an actual attraction in the park itself. It begins as a jungle river cruise past huge dinosaurs. After encountering an Ultrasaurus (a dinosaur since discovered to be a chimera), a pair of Stegosaurus, and Psittacosaurus, the raft begins heading toward a part of the park known as Hadrosaur Cove. A duck-billed Parasaurolophus bumps the raft, causing it to begin drifting into the Raptor Containment Area, a section of the adventure that (according to voiceovers on the ride) had never successfully been integrated into the rest of the park. "Unauthorized Entry," says a female voice over the intercom. The raft passes by a replica of the Raptor Pen from the film, and riders hear snarling Velociraptors in the dense foliage while branches move to simulate the creatures attempting to escape from their confines. Turning a corner, riders see a boat that appears to be in a state of disrepair: two Compsognathus are seen eating a bloody shirt (The CP5 which has been sent by Jurassic Park Animal Control to guide the boat towards a safe area but the compys came and killed the crew). The boat heads towards the pump station where riders see a Velociraptor run into a dark corner. On a wall next to the boat, a Jurassic Park Van falls over the top and nearly crushes the riders.Velociraptors jump out at the guests. A large crate with something snarling inside also nearly falls on the riders. The riders begin to slowly head up a hill into a large building in silence. The riders enter a dark tunnel with several mock red lights on the ceiling. Several Dilophosaurus's spit venom (water) at the guests. As the Raft follows a 180 degree turn, the snout of a T-Rex lumbers ahead. A raptor is seen tearing up a control panel. "Attention, this is an emergency. Toxic gases are present in this area. Life support is imminent...Life support systems will terminate in 15 seconds...10, 9, 8, 7, 6," says a female voice over the intercom. The Tyrannosaurus's head reappears once more in front of the riders to distract them from the 85 ft plunge below. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1," and the raft plunges down an 85ft near-vertical drop. The ride exits into a Jurassic Park-themed gift shop, where guests may purchase souvenir photographs of themselves in the ride during the drop.

- Amity Village Jaws - After the shark attacks portrayed in the 1975 film Jaws, the tourism industry of Amity Island, Massachusetts had almost died out. Years later, some wealthy tourists asked an old seaman named Jake Grundy to take them out to see the places where the shark attacks occurred. Grundy decided to offer the same tour to others, creating a new business enterprise: Captain Jake's Amity Boat Tours. Due to the popularity of Captain Jake's, the town decided to embrace the shark attacks. Now, Amity is "Shark City" with a booming tourist economy. Tourists will be taking one of Captain Jake's Amity Boat Tours out to see the locations of the various events during that fateful summer, which were made famous in a big Hollywood movie not long afterwards. The boats are piloted by one of Captain Jake's skippers, and all are protected by an army surplus 40 mm grenade launcher. However, Jake is confident that his skippers won't need to use them because the last shark anyone has seen was in 1975. The tour begins with a quick visit to Chief Brody's home. Suddenly, as the boat rounds the lighthouse, the guide hears a distress call from a fellow skipper, Gorden. His call for help degenerates into screams of terror, then an eerie silence. The skipper contacts the base to figure out what is going on with Gorden and seconds later, the tour group discovers just what happened, as the remains of Gorden's tour boat sink beneath the surface of the harbor. Suddenly, a dorsal fin rises out of the water ... the dorsal fin of what appears to be a very large shark! The shark submerges and passes under the boat. The tour guide pulls out the now-handy grenade launcher and shoots a grenade at the shark, but it misses. A second shot also misses. The tour guide then decides to hide out in a boathouse that was formerly owned by the grizzled old shark hunter, Quint. Inside the pitch-black boathouse, the skipper turns on his flashlight and scans around. Something rocks the shack, knocking boats into the water. Attempting to escape, the skipper struggles to get the boat's engine into gear, succeeding just as the giant shark surfaces and lunges at the boat. The skipper contacts the base to get help, and is told that Chief Brody will be there in 10 minutes. Thinking the boat and its passengers will be shark bait in 10 minutes, the skipper decides to take the offensive if the shark attacks again. Unfortunately, the next grenade shot manages to hit a gas dock, which erupts in flames, threatening the boat. As a last resort, the skipper decides to unload in an old fishing dock. The shark attacks yet again, but bites into a live electrical cable. Its burnt and scarred corpse then surfaces, and the latest menace to the tranquility of Amity Harbor is eliminated.
