The Gyrosphere was a custom ride vehicle used at Jurassic World in the Gyrosphere Valley. Designed as a spherical glass shell with a motorised core, it allowed rides to self navigate in two-axis by means of a joystick on the center console.

They were abandoned with the rest of the park following the Jurassic World Incident in 2015 and likely all destroyed following the eruption of Mt. Sibo in 2018.
