A solid squadron of writers and comedians found ’emselves trapped on the Jurassic Park Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood a few hours back, which means if you don’t have time to read this story RN, the film adaptation will probably be out sometime in 2018.

Have you ever wanted to be stuck halfway up a steep hill on the Jurassic Park ride at Universal? Because that’s where I am right now!

I’ve been stuck on the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios on an incline for 25 minutes and I’ve honestly never been more afraid.

Eventually, park workers managed to find an actual light switch, bringing those ancient animatronic beasts into full focus:

After asking for none other than Chris Pratt to come and rescue ’em, the crew was finally allowed to get the hell out of dodge. The images of the ride’s grungy underbelly and a park worker’s nonchalant response is almost enough to keep you away from every theme park ride, ever:

We’re off! Our guide said she’s never seen the Jurassic Park ride evacuated before. “Usually it’s Transformers”??

We’re glad this episode ended safely for all involved, but seriously: expect this anecdote to pop up on your late-night talk show of choice. Hell, we know we’d be telling everyone we knew.
