Jurassic Park boat ride starts sinking into water in shocking scene at Universal Orlando: ‘One of my nightmares'
Guests on Universal Orlando Resort's Jurassic Park River Adventure ride recently faced something scarier than dinosaurs. A viral TikTok video posted earlier this month appears to show the ride sinking due to an apparent malfunction. The clip, shared on July 11, shows the bow of the boat submerged in the water, with several riders left soaked. No injuries were reported and everyone was escorted safely to dry land. @parksidewithholly Nothing beats a Jet 2 holiday. What's really scary is if you know what's going to happen shortly after that bend. 😅 ♬ Jet2 Advert – ✈️A7-BBH | MAN 🇬🇧 The boat was tilted at nearly a 45-degree angle, with the bow submerged in the water. @parksidewithholly/TikTok The person who posted the video, @parksidewithholly, first shared the clip in June, but it's only now started to go viral. Holly — who was in one of the boats behind the one that started sinking — shared in the comments that 'they straightened it out eventually' and the issue was fixed in 15 minutes. The issue was believed to have been caused by a mix-up with the boat's brakes during a descent into the water. Park staff allegedly 'loaded up' the riders who had to deal with the incident with express passes and bottled water, Holly claimed in a TikTok comment. The Post has contacted Universal for comment. The final drop on Jurassic Park River Adventure is 85 ft. tall at a 55 degree angle. Patrick T. Fallon/Bloomberg via Getty Images Despite the disastrous situation, users were quick to crack jokes beneath Holly's TikTok. 'Relax… it's just gonna take you through the 4D experience!!!' one quipped. 'Are they aware that they are holding up traffic?' another joked. 'This is literally one of my nightmares, imagine having to swim with the animatronics,' a third said. According to the official Universal website, the ride opened in Islands of Adventure in 1999, and at the time featured the largest theme park water descent ever constructed. The boats used are allegedly free floating. The final drop on Jurassic Park River Adventure is 85 feet tall at a 55-degree angle, and 1.5 million gallons of water are used throughout the ride.

These Are the Best Spa Cities in the World—and the Top Spot Is a Small U.K. City
A new study set out to find the best spa cities in the world using data from Yelp and Google. One destination in the U.K. took the top spot for its high density of spas and luxury offerings. Cities like Palm Springs, California, and Miami also ranked highly, with standout scores in search interest and spa density. Everyone is looking for something different when it comes to vacations—some may want an adrenaline rush, others a deep cultural experience, and some people really just want to relax. For the true relaxation connoisseurs, spa cloud software company Zenoti's 2025 report on the best cities in the world for spas has all the details on where to find the most spas, the best-reviewed ones, and even where to find the most affordable spas. For its study, Zenoti used a combination of Yelp and Google search data (specifically, the phrase "spas near me"), and each city had to meet a few requirements in order to be included on the list. Each destination needed to have at least 20 spa listings on Yelp, and there needed to be population data available to calculate spa density per capita. After cities ticked off all the requirements, they were judged by a weighted index according to five factors: the number of spas per capita, average Yelp ratings, the percentage of luxury spas in the area, the percentage of affordable spas, and the volume of Google searches for 'spas near me' in 2025. With all of that information factored in, Bath, U.K., came out as the best spa city in the world. For fans of historical romance novels, it's not too much of a surprise that Bath came in first place. Not only is it the most spa-dense city in the world, but it also ranks high for spa-related searches and luxury spa offerings. With mineral-rich hot springs, Bath has long been a favorite spa town, with an ancient history that dates back to the days of the Roman Empire. However, you won't even need a passport to visit the second location on the list. Palm Springs, California, a longtime favorite wellness destination, ranked highly for both spa density and search volume, so you'll definitely be in the company of other travelers looking for cupping, deep tissue massages, and facials. The third-place spot also went to another domestic destination: Miami, Florida. The South Florida city ranks high in spa density, search volume, and affordable spas, so seeking out a wellness-focused retreat here should be relatively stress-free. Here are the top 10 spa cities in the world according to the Zenoti study, for all your travel planning and wanderlust needs. Bath, United Kingdom Palm Springs, California Miami, Florida Toronto, Canada Scottsdale, Arizoma Honolulu, Hawaii Vancouver, Canada Boston, Massachusetts Seattle, Washington New York City, New York Some other interesting tidbits? The most affordable spa cities in the world didn't make it to the top 10. The most affordable spa cities are Osaka and Kyoto in Japan. Conversely, if you're looking for the best luxury experiences, your best bets are Milan, Italy, and Geneva, Switzerland. Kyoto is also home to some of the best-rated spas in the world, alongside Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Scottsdale, Arizona. You can check out the full list and find more info on

Dog Owner Checks Doorbell Camera at 3am, Unprepared for What She Sees
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When Aileigh checked her door camera in the early hours of the morning, she wasn't prepared for what she saw—her dog sitting outside staring at the door. Aileigh, 26, from Ontario, Canada, shared the footage of her 5-year-old Australian shepherd Nash to TikTok after realizing her mistake. "We realized he was outside shortly after the video was captured on the doorbell camera," Aileigh, who didn't give a surname, told Newsweek. She clarified: "It wasn't all night, but he was definitely outside for a few hours and sat there patiently." In a video that has now gained more than 1.2 million views on Instagram since being shared earlier this week, Aileigh said: "What's your favorite horror movie? Oh Idk... Probably the time I left my dog out all night and he sat by the door waiting the whole time." The video showed Nash, brightened up by porch light and quietly waiting for his owner to return. Thankfully, it wasn't too long until his owner came to the rescue. Pictures of Nash from the security camera in the early hours.

"Sometimes we become so used to our routines we can go on autopilot, especially when extra tired or not feeling the best." Nash took the mishap in his stride, unfazed and tail wagging the next day. "I was so grateful that he was okay, and felt so guilty, he was just excited about the extra attention he got the next day," his owner said. When she posted the video, Aileigh had only 180 followers and didn't expect anyone to really see it. But instead, it gained viral attention, and the comments were mixed. While some people saw the light-hearted nature of the moment, others were upset about the idea of Nash being left outside alone. "How do you forget your dog is outside?" said one viewer. While another dog owner shared their own similar story: "I left my blind senior dog outside in the rain for 3 hours once," they admitted. "For months after I woke up in cold sweats crying." Aileigh said she was surprised by the responses online, and that it revealed just how quickly things can be taken out of context online. "What I thought would just be a small, lighthearted trend among friends ended up getting over a million views. I didn't expect it to spark so much discussion, and while some of the feedback was harsh, and many went way too far," she said. "At the same time, it was an honest mistake and my dog is very loved and well cared for. The video wasn't meant to cause concern." This isn't the first time a dog on camera has caused a surprise. In Oklahoma German shepherd-boxer mix Hazel gave her owner a surprise when she let herself through the door like a human. While another pet owner checked the camera while their dog was home alone, only to be surprised by the pup having snuck onto the couch.
