Unlike most live-action shows, "Jurassic World Live" will be break down traditional arena barriers between the audience and the action, instead using sophisticated projection mapping to zip fans right on over to the dinosaur oasis of Isla Nublar.
According to Kenneth Feld, Chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment, "The live 'Jurassic World' arena experience will create new ways for fans to engage with one of the world's most popular franchises."
