Where was Jumanji filmed? ALL the locations & the house of Welcome to the Jungle
Posted by Ra Moon
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is the continuation (not the remake) of the original movie from 1995, starring Robin Williams and a very young Kirsten Dunst.
Twenty years later, the wicked board game has become a 1990s video game console. The device will transport four teenagers to a lethal (and funny) world of adventure.
The blockbuster is set in the African jungle, although this new Jumanji movie was primarily filmed in Hawaii and Atlanta.

Fast and Furious star Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black (School of Rock, High Fidelity), Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy, Gunpowder Milkshake), and Kevin Hart (Ride Along) take on the leading roles of the four-game avatars.
Welcome to the Jungle and our guide, totally spoiler-free, to the filming locations of Jumanji.

Where was Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle filmed?
Most of the film's exteriors were shot during two months on the gorgeous Hawaiian landscapes of Oahu island.
The peculiar mountains of Kualoa have been captured in dozens of movies and TV shows; Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, Kong: Skull Island, and Lost are some of the productions set in this popular filming location.

An outdoor set was built on the grounds of Kualoa Ranch, which served as the production headquarters in Oahu.
The scene pictured, the Jaguar Temple, the motorcycle chase scene, and the place where the characters discovered their powers and weaknesses were filmed here.
According to Reel News Hawaii, the path to the jaguar, Russel Van Pelt's camp, and a couple more minor scenes were recorded in the Heeia Kea Jungle.

The precarious cliff's edge was a set built in the parking lot of Waimea Falls Park.
The scene where the characters land in Jumanji and Jack Black gets eaten by the hippopotamus is just off the main path leading to the falls.

Reel News Hawaii also discovered a very cool location: The treehouse where Alan Parrish spent his years in Jumanji's world was a set built on the big banyan tree at Kawela Bay.
The scene where the game board was found was shot nearby at the beach at Turtle Bay, just in front of the Horse Stables.
Some more filming took place in the jungles of Nuuanu (the kissing scene, Jack Black and Nick Jonas skipping stones).

The waterfall-jumping scene was filmed at Kawainui Falls near Papaikou, north of Hilo, on the island of Hawaii.

The Bazaar was built inside the old Southern Railway building in downtown Atlanta.
Also some indoor scenes, and the head of Jaguar Rock set, were housed at Atlanta Metro Studios.
The Jumanji House
The exterior of Alex's house is located at 1646 Friar Tuck Road NE in the Ansley Park Sherwood Forest neighborhood of Atlanta.

So, I am interested in a set of the floor plans for the Jumanji House seen in the movie and located in Atlanta. Georgia... Can anyone give me directions to find these plans?
