It all started here in 1955 with Mister Roberts and continued successfully with Karate Kid II. However, the place has been most successful since the first release of the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park. Since then, it’s been the setting for Jumanji, Jurassic World movies, Fifty First Dates, Godzilla, Hawaii Five-0, Pearl Harbor or Lost (watch it on Amazon Prime to be fully prepared).
