Tour Vehicles

In Jurassic Park, the second type of vehicles were the Safari Jeeps (or Land Cruisers) that ran on electric power delivered from a cable in the ground. Each Safari Jeep possessed a self-naviagtion system. Their purpose was to drive visitors into enclosures to encounter the dinosaurs in complete safty. Every Jeep was a 1992-1993 Ford Exploror XLT.

Safari Jeeps had leather interiors, night-vision goggles under the seats and a drinking tap that supplied the visitors with water. Road flares, flaslights and brochures were stored in the trunk. Although the Jeeps were powered by elctricity, the lights could have been powered non-stop by their batteries; when the T-Rex pushed Jeep 04 off the track, the headlights and high beams continued to work.

During the Isla Nublar Incident, Jeeps 04 and 05 were put to a standstill outside the T-Rex enclosure when the power was switched off. Jeep 04 was attacked by the T-Rex, with Lex and Tim Murphy inside it. With Tim still inside, the carnivore pushed the overturned vehical off a cliff and into a tree. To rescue Tim, Alan Grant went up into the tree. When the branches could no longer hold its weight, the heavy vehical chased them down the tree with great speed. Luckily, they escaped being crushed to death.



In Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, players can build Safari Adventures and drive Land Cruisers into enclosures. The big difference is that the Jeeps in the game are operated by a driver: if a Jeep is destroyed, Ray Arnold will tell the player that the driver has been killed.
