jurassicparkour What is predator X? I'm pretty sure I have read about it, but I forget what it is. It wouldn't be stupid to breed three super predators for a park, it would make good business sense. People love big predators, they're where the money would be. People would look at the Raptors and sauropods and ceratopsians, but who's going to even know what an Abeliasaur or Ceratosaur is? People might not even know what an Allosaur is! Most of the visitors would be families with children who have probably never heard of most dinosaurs. What gets little children's attention? Big dinosaurs! They would want to see T-Rex, and maybe Spinosaurus and the other ones.

I'm sorry i_is_honar_student, but I'm going to have to strongly disagree with what you said. T-Rex was an active hunter, it had a bite force over 6 tons (up to 9 apparently), it had banana sized teeth that were anchored in with deep roots, and it doubt that any scavenger would need binocular vision. [url=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nqa1-dQWJBA]What part of this screams scavenger?.[/url] [url=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uSh92R1fKWU&feature=related]This is BS.[/url] [url=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv6hEuODrLg&feature=related]This is probably how Spino fought[/url]

InGen was stupid enough to bring a T-Rex to San Diego so I think that they would be stupid enough to breed some Gigas (maybe even a pack!). I would want to see a pack of Gigas terrorize the people on the island. Plus T-Rex is now found to be more of a scavenger than a predator so I doubt that T-Rex would win fights with other predators.

I doubt that InGen woud have been dumb enough to breed [i]three[/i] land super-predators. Any rex-spino fight, whether it involved another predator or not, would feel repetitive, like a rehash of JP3. Team rex people should accept that progress marches on, and that T-rex is not the king anymore. Predator X should be the new, awesome villain.

T-Rex Allosaurus Spinosaurus Carcharodontosaurus Megalosaurus Deinonychus Carnotaurus Ceratosaurus Dilophosaurus Sarcosuchus Quetzalcoatlus

I'd rather see something new. Perhaps Giga, Rex, and Spino are all in the movie. They could all be main antagonists. My idea is this; A Pair of Spino is out doing something (fishing, eating a carcass maybe), and they get attacked by a pair of Giga. The Giga pair kill one Spino rather quickly, and the other one manages to escape with it's life. At the end of the movie, a lone T-Rex and the surviving Spino are chasing the people (from opposite directions), and the people manage to get into the helicopter (or whatever appears to save them), and Rex and Spino square off (Grant could say something about the JP 3 battle if he is in the movie), and before Rex charges, the Giga pair appear and charge the Spino. Rex, knowing it wouldn't have a chance on its own, charges one Giga, knocking it off course, and saving Spino. Spino is confused by this, but appreciates it at the same time. Then they stand shoulder to shoulder (with Spino being visibly longer and taller, and Rex being visibly more heavily built). They charge the Giga pair, and the one gets wounded by the Rex (broken leg or something so that it isn't a huge threat anymore), and the other one ended up in Spino's jaws. Rex goes over to finish it off because Spino couldn't kill it with the bite, but it held it in place long enough. Then the other Giga attacks, and Spino slashes it with it's hand claws, and managed to hit with enough force to kill it. Rex watched the slash, and was impressed by the damage it caused, and Spino was impressed by the Rex's bite. They turn to each other, lower their heads, and then walk away.

I don't think a Rex vs Spino 2 would be a good thing because Rex is sure to win this time. While Spino would get a lot of undeserved hate off its shoulders it would also appear weak and Rex's fan base would be fueled, leading to Rex suddenly being super overrated. Also it's repetitive. Another thing I think would be cool is the introduction of a new villain that we don't see coming but is still cool. It should debut in a way unlike that of Spino in JP3 because, as I said before, controversy would follow. Maybe something like Suchomimus or Liopleurodon or Utahraptor as a secondary antagonist. I would, as with everyone else, like to see much of the original cast return. I think the plot needs to be fresh but at the same time true to the JP series. It should leave the audience in awe with stunning visuals and creativity but at the same time be grounded in reality and scientifically plausible. We should see more dinosaurs. I think that the park should be up and running and Spino, while not being a major antagonist, should get some screen time as perhaps an attraction in his pen at the park.

Tarbosaurus is between 36 and 39 feet from known specimens. Yes, most Daspletosaurus are around 25-30 feet 11 meters is a little over 36 feet I initially heard this on carnivoraforum [url=http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/9921923/1/]here[/url] and [url=http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/9762885/1/]here[/url] then just googled "pete 3 Daspletosaurus" and "11 meter Daspletosaurus" and a bunch of variations of that. I do think Tarbo would win as well

If anyone here has read Jurassic park 2 there was a dinosaur I forgot what it was called in the book (might have been a ceratosaurus) but it had a camo ability like a chameleon. I wouldn't be surprised if this somehow gets incorporated.

That's the second time you said I was right today.

Exactly, but the Edmontosaurus would still do some damage to the pack, and has a chance of making it out alive.

Delta is right. 11 metres is reasonable for a Das.

A. Tarbosaurus is 40 feet. B. Daspletosaurus was at most 30 feet. C. 11 meters is something like 32 feet. D. Where did you hear this. E. Tarbosaurus would win.

Like how a Dromeaosaurus pack can take down an Edmontosaurus. A bunch of siz foot things, plus enough time, can take down something huge like an Edmontosaurus.

the suspense, awesome chapter can't wait for the next chapter

In the trailer for the 2014 script, one of the dinosaurs was a ceratosaurus, so I think that's is what he meant. Honestly, I don't think ceratosaurus Is that scary (it made a cameo in jp3 and it is only about the size of an adult dilo ) hopefully after the rewrite they will add in a carnotaurus or an allosaurus

Delta's right. That would be like pitting T-Rex and Zhuchengtyrannus against Yutyrannus, Nanotyrannus, Daspletosaurus, and Gorgosaurus. They just wouldn't be able to do it, they would be overwhelmed by the sheer numbers. Maybe they would have a 1 in 10 chance of winning though (both our situations).

Ekrixinatosaurus loses. Sheer size doesn't always determan a fight. Btw, Majungasaurus was thirty Feet long.

[b]here are some tips to get more people into the game:[/b] [size=200]1[/size] you should add some famous dinosaurs to increase the peps: T-rex (now who wouldn't want to be a t-rex chomping peoples' head off) Velociraptor (small but you can grab onto peoples' body parts and claws them to death) spinosaurus (in jungle/outdoor maps you can add rivers so you will be able to play as a spino and pick up npc animals like fish, smaller dinosaurs etc. and THROW them! I got that from dino d-day) and more! [size=200]2[/size] FREE TO PLAY!! I mean I would get the game if it was ftp and others would too cause it ain't about the money its about how much people enjoy it.

Giganotosaurus Utahraptor Yangchuanosaurus Certosaurus Quetlzequatlus Megalodon I'm tired and I can't think of any more.

Next part should be an entertaining fight. Carcharodontosaurus has size, power and a deadlier bite but the Deltadromeus is faster, more agile, can jump and has the power of anger.

1 T-Rex without a doubt 2 Giganotosaurus (if it is an Allosaur, other wise Allo himself) 3 Phobodon 4 Charcharadontosaurus 5 Megalosaurus 6 Utahraptor 7 Carnotaurus 8 Ceratosaurus 9 Dilophosaurus 10 Dienosauchus 11 Deltadromeus

Holy chiz that's scary. Giant vampire eating people in JP4? A little out of place and unlikely but it could work...

Good chapter. Suspenseful ending, can't wait for the next part.

Hopefully Metriacanthosaurus. Horner will probably screw it up, though.

Nice. I was pleasantly surprised to see Therizinosaurus win. Glad to see you took my suggestion of using Aerosteon and Nothronychus. Thanks. PS- Ha, you used the same pic of Eustreptospondylus I used for my site. Cool.

I see the ornithomimids hitting speeds of up to 65 miles per hour. The raptors could hit around 50 miles per hour at the most, with Utahraptor being slightly slower, about 20-25 miles per hour. Utahraptor had pretty short legs for it's size. Not too short, but a little shorter. Theropods in the same size class as T-rex and Giganotosaurus probably ran anywhere between 15 and 25 miles per hour, depending on the build and anatomy of the dinosaur. Abelisaurs were seem to be a little slow. Majungatholus does not seem to be able to get past 15 miles per hour, with the fastest abelisaurs reaching 20 miles per hour. Allosaurus and carnivores it's size were probably running between 20 and 30 miles per hour. The fastest tyrannosaurs, Albertosaurus and Nanotyrannus, could probably run about 30-35 miles per hour, with dinosaurs like Deltadromeus having a comparable top speed. Early tyrannosaurs like Guanlong and Dilong probably hit speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. The smallest carnivores like Sinornithosaurus and Compies probably ran around 30-35 miles per hour. Hadrosaurs could probably hit 25 miles per hour on their back legs and ceratopsians probably could charge at speeds of 20 miles per hour. Sauropods and armored dinosaurs like Ankylosaurus and Stegosaurus probably did not run faster than 5-8 miles per hour. Finally, the smaller herbivores like the hypsylophodonts probably ran up to 30 miles per hour. Those are my dinosaur speed estimations.

Great job. I really loved how the dinosaurs mangled with the people. So you had a bad night too, at least I'm not the only one who can't sleep.

Thanks! :D

Should be up in a few days but first I need to get some sleep. Haven't slept since I got home. I'll try to have it up soon. Anyways, welcome to scified!

Not at all :D I really liked the megalosaurs keeping skeletons around their territories part in the description. Also, when is the Dinobrawl 2 being posted?

I'm pretty proud of it myself. Not too shabby for a last minute write in my opinion.

Nice! It has a new setting, some interaction with and between people, a display of InGen capturing dinosaurs and foreshadowing of the 2015 park. Awesome.

Well fourty five mile per hour raptors are bad enough. The raptors from jp3 where running across the fields at 45 mph, so if they are faster, then nobody can acuse Muldon of saying they could be cheetah speed.

I think yours was a pretty good estimate set for speed. I don't see why some ornithomimids couldn't run as fast as ostriches at 65 mph, being nearly identical in shape and proportions. Dromaeosaurs had powerful legs for running and probably hit 45-55 mph Deltadromeus and Bahariasaurus could likely run between 35 and 50 mph depending on what build you take for them. From known specimens they appear to be thin and sleek with especially long legs and arms like those of ornithomimids which is where the Bahariasaurus- Deinocheirus theory comes from. Utahraptor was big, fast and smart and, being lighter but similarly built to Deltadromeus, could probably run just as fast if not faster. Spinosaurs are a problem because most specimens are juveniles or subadults and would have proportionately long skulls and legs with thinner bodies than adults. If you keep this build for huge 40+ foot adults, like Suchomimus, Phobodon, Oxalaia and Spinosaurus, they would have no problem hitting 25. If you bulk them up to adult proportions they maybe hit 25 to 27 at max. Ceratosaurus were robust and muscular but had decent running legs and may have hit 20-30 mph depending on how stocky you make them. True allosaurs and neovenators probably passed 30 mph because they were light, had good respitory systems, hollow bones, a sleek build and long legs. I can see Allosaurus hitting 35 when in a straight dash. Carcharodontosaurs were almost all 40+ feet and were basically all allosaurs on steroids. They had almost everything the same proportionately and could hit 30 for the most part with maybe Mapu being faster but most specimens were juveniles and all of the 40-46 foot adults were fragmentary. Acrocanthosaurus was unusually robust and probably didn't pass 20 very often. Megalosaurs were between allosaurs and carcharodontosaurs in robusticity but had similar proportions. I'd say 30 ish. Abelisaurs vary a lot. Some, namely Carnotaurus, were speed demons. Carno had long legs and a sleek build designed for running and estimates made by some scientists are hitting 43 mph. Majungasaurus, on the other hand, had weird short legs and probably hit 20 or 25. Ekrixinatosaurus and Rajasaurus were more power than speed and probably were 25 mph runners. Tyrannosaurs were also varied. Smaller ones, like Gorgosaurus and Albertosaurus, were probably capable of hitting 30-33. Tarbosaurus and Zhuchengtyrannus could, being somewhat light, hit 25-28. Tyrannosaurus was robust with a less aerodynamic body built for power instead of speed and had trouble making it much past 20 IMO. Pachycephalosaurs were built much like hadrosaurs and could hit 30. Hadrosaurs like Parasaurolophus hit 35 on two legs because they had to outrun predators and were lightly built. Shantungosaurus, Huaxiaosaurus, Lambeosaurus and Magnapaulia were way more robust and fought instead of running, so they hit 20 maybe. Ceratopsians were sort of like rhinos and could probably hit 30 on a really good charge. Therizinosaurus had a weird build so its hard to say. With short tails, long necks, broad and deep bodies with medium sized legs I'd say 20-25? Sauropods were probably pretty slow with all the gravity they had pushing down on them as well as their thick elephantine legs. I'd say 10-15 mph? Just by pure stride size. Prosauropods probably were therizinosaur-like in speed. Can't imagine sauropods ran from or for much. Dilophosaurs were probably pretty fast, 35 ish.

I couldn't agree with you more.

I don't think rex could make it above 20. It was extremely heavy for its size, and even though it has large, strong legs, it really isn't designed to run.

If jp4 follows the potential plot leak, then I'm going to cry. That seems like e worst thing to ever be written as a movie script. Tamed raptors indeed, hmmmffff

Liopleurodon should be a antihero. It should be in a sea world-esque environment and kill its trainer only to redeem itself by eating the new dinosaur villain.

Good chapter, but sad that Draco died. Sarcosuchus are jerks :(
