    The unique seven-minute, high-energy cinematic adventure transports guests deep into the lush — and exhilarating — world of Jumanji, where nature's most unpredictable creatures lie in wait.

    Exclusively for this new experience, fan favourite actor from the Jumanji movies Rhys Darby, who played the unassuming tour guide Nigel, has filmed new, original scenes for the 4D cinema experience. Guests are welcomed to don their very own Jumanji vision glasses and are then recruited for a thrilling safari mission guided by Nigel's avatar. With scenes captured in studio specifically for this production with creative partner Pure Imagination, visitors will embark on an immersive jungle tour that quickly spirals into humorous chaos that can only be found in the universe of Jumanji.

    From towering rhinos to lightning-fast ostriches and the unmistakable threat of the anacondas, Jumanji Safari Tours 4D Expedition delivers a pulse-racing encounter with some of the game's most iconic animals. As the adventure unfolds, guests must navigate close encounters with mandrills, hippopotamuses and more - all brought vividly to life through cutting-edge 4D effects.

    Fast-paced, thrilling and packed with surprises, the experience combines cinematic storytelling with physical effects including motion, wind, water and more — creating a truly multi-sensory journey into the heart of Jumanji.

    Paul Moreton, Chief Development Officer at Merlin Entertainments, said "At Merlin, bringing iconic entertainment franchises to life is central to what we do. With this new Jumanji 4D cinematic experience, we're bringing families together through play by taking them deeper into the jungle action than ever before. For anyone looking for immersive thrills and close-up animal encounters in a bold new way, Madame Tussauds 4D Cinema is the place to be this summer. Created in close partnership with long-term collaborator Sony Pictures Entertainment, this is a larger-than-life cinematic adventure inspired by the blockbuster films depicting the Jumanji universe."

    Jumanji: Safari Tours 4D Expedition will debut at Madame Tussauds attractions in:
    • Hollywood

    About Jumanji Film Franchise
    Sony Pictures' Jumanji film franchise, based on the award-winning children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg, has taken in over $2 billion at the worldwide box office. Moviegoers were first introduced to the world in 1995 when a mysterious game transports its players to the jungles of Jumanji! The film starred the late Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce. Over 20 years later, the adventures continue in the brand-new film Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017), where the game changed as four teenagers in detention are sucked into the world of Jumanji. When they discover an old video game console with a game they've never heard of, they decide to play and are immediately thrust into the game's jungle setting, in the bodies of the avatar characters they chose (Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan). What they discover is that you don't just play Jumanji – Jumanji plays you. To win, they'll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they'll be stuck in the game forever. Following the success of the 2017 film, the gang (Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan) is back in Jumanji: The Next Level (2019), but the game has changed. As they return to Jumanji to rescue one of their own, they discover that nothing is as they expect. The players will have to brave parts unknown and unexplored, from the arid deserts to the snowy mountains, in order to escape the world's most dangerous game. The gang returns once again for the next instalment in the Jumanji series coming out in theaters on December 25, 2026.
