It might have DNA of a horned snake species which gives the name "Diabolous Rex".

Cool! I`m really excited to see this all come together! Me, I`m really optimistic about what they're going to do with this park and not gonna compare EVERYTHING to the original JP. The only thing I'm dissapointed on is the name. Jurassic World? Is this the name of the park?? It seems too much of a rip off of the first park. For pete sakes call it JURASSIC PARK. So if they come out with more sequels, will it be: Jurassic world 2? this is my only concern. Other than that I wish they would've had a megalodon over a Mosaurus.... it would've been way more BAD ASS

The idea of it being an accident sits way better with me! It's a great idea... Honestly, I'd rather they just used a carnotaurus that turned out to be way too much to handle, simply because the camoflage was unpredictable and unexpected. What if it didn't use the camo until a certain age or something?

Just wishful thinking...

However, I expect it to be more of a greed thing. Like any company, they're going to keep trying to outdo themselves, and that can get pretty ugly when the business is genetics!

And actually, the point of almost any movie is to have an enemy you hate and want to see destroyed. What if greed turns out to be the Darth Vader of the JW series?

I think that all seems very interesting...The D-Rex creature could be something new and curious to see,same for the trained raptors. I want to see more dinosaurs as possible,the Mosaurus is a great creature,even thou as Shinji78 said,how did that old mosquito take blood from that reptile?Well,it's somewhat stupid that they created hundreds of species of dinos from an only one mosquito,how much blood must it have drinken?It's just a film!

Nice chapter. I always had a feeling that Arnold survived. I was hoping that they would give him, Muldoon and Dr.Wu a comeback in the second or third movie, but as you all know, that never came to be. Maybe they'll get a comeback in JW. Since Peck died there isn't really any hope for Muldoon returning, unless they get a new actor, but that would just feel wrong. Arnold and Wu on the other hand, those guys still have a chance, hopefully...

Who can explain me how a mosquito drinks the blood of an underwater reptile like the Mosasaurus?

Thanks.

GOJIRA2K- Ah, I see. I'm so very sorry it got cancelled; it's never any fun when the shows we like are taken off the air. Regardless, I'm very glad you enjoyed it while it was on! :)

@Something Real,

Thanks. Terra Nova was a TV show on Fox before it was canceled after 1 Season. It was a shame, it was a great show.

@JP Carnotaur

click over to legacy to see the full run of pictures. That's a Trex logo, of which there are many scattereted all over the map, obviously not indicating anything specific. But the purple area is TRex Kingdom...which is either some kind of attraction near the visitors center, or...and hopefully not....literally the Trex enclosure which they chose to place right next to the visitors center, to keep them on display. 

GOJIRA2K - That's an excellent analogue! I like the image; was Terra Nova a movie? :)

MR.HAPPY9097 - I can definately see your point of view with regards to the D-Rex! Maybe that's what we'll get when the film finally debuts! :)

In all honesty, I feel its a fair mixture of the two of 'em Mr.Happy and Gojira...

Forgot to mention the German built DSR-50.

Five round bolt action, Bullpup, that beast of a rifle right there is my favourite without a doubt. German built means good, look at weapons such as the DSR, the PSG-1 and the FG42, to name a few German built weapons.

Well the fact that the D. rex is not mentioned on the list is interesting. This could mean it was a genetic mistake, was to dangerous for public display, or and this is probably not true, a bio-weapon for military use. Still I am kind of hopeing the D. rex is a cover for something a bit more realistic as some movies mislead viewers with false info to make the movie seem better when you go and see it, though I doubt that is happening here.

I always picture the D-Rex as a JFC Rex with the crests above its eyes from the WWD Gorgosaurus that came out last year. That's just me though.

I keep thinking about him as the Carnotaurus from Terra Nova.

Look at the first picture of the lagoon in the top left theirs a purple area that has (what I think looks like) a Dilophosaurus skull. Also it looks like some if the map key had been cut off so it's possible that Diliphosaurus is their.

Good chapter. Glad he survived.

Yeah, Oxalia is often said to be about 36-43 ft long and 4-6 tons(from what I've seen). The biggest size I've seen is 50 ft, but it only gave a weight of 7 tons, still lighter than the biggest Tyrannosaurus'.

X_PADEN_X - That's so great! I only ever saw the first - it was enough to break my heart when Little Foot's mother died! :)

It's alright, I Watched all the land before times (I had one hell of a child hood) 

I think it's a perfect Idea.

Can you of you whiners explain to me what you thought the film was going to be? Better yet, and easier for you, can any of you offer decent rebuttable to these points:

1. None of the dinosaurs are 100% accurate recreations. They never, ever have been. Take the JP novel canon for reference and understand that the so called "dinosaurs" just had to be convincing, not real. Because they couldn't be real. Every species of dinosaur has been spliced with amphibian, reptilian, avaian, even mammilian DNA where it was suitable. Not just "frogs".

2. It is inevitable that a corporate owned Dinosaur-clone amusement park would eventually attempt to cross breed (at the genetic level) and create new animals. This is the definition of playing god, and the dark side of genetic technology. It was bound to happen, and hopefully, bound to be what destroys the otherwise successful Jurassic World theme park.

3. Humanity has always tried to tame wild beats. Some more successfully than others. The DRAW of animal attractions, "shows" if you will, would be impossible to resist when it comes to the dinosaurs. Undoubtedly, they would TRY. How successful they would be is anyones guess. I'm sure we'll different types of dinosaur shows:

-Mosasaur feeding show makes sense. The Mosasaur doesn't need to "learn tricks" anymore than a Crocodile learns to respond to food at many zoo "shows" around the world.

-Some of the less dangerous herbivore species will likely be easy to parade around the amphitheatre..interaction probably minimal..but these animals are no doubt intelligent enough to learn conditioned responses that aid in creating a spectacle out of their natural behavior.

-The carnivores would be the real draw and the real challange, and NO DOUBT the JW executives want to see progress made with taming these beasts. Certain predators, like Lions and Tigers, have been trained extensively by humans for a long time. This training only goes so far, and any lion or tiger trainer will tell you they are never truly tamed...they just decide the work is worth the pay off (food) in the end....and capitulate with NOT murdering their handlers...usually.

The same will likely be the case with the Tyrannosaurs, and Velociraptors. They won't be "tame" by any means, but they may be "trained". Trained to the point where they don't automatically try to kill their handler (Chris Pratt), because of the some conditioned behavior. I highly doubt level of "tameness" will extend to Chris Pratt walking freely along side the Carnivores, but rather, from a safe location, respond to certain commands.

@JP Carnotaur

I see no such thing.

that dubious spinosaur out of south america? the one with very little fossil remains recovered?

sorry...but everything i've read (and studied) do not put it any where past the big four i have listed.

Based on the scant finds, the skull of Oxalaia has been estimated at around 4.4 feet. not even larger then that of the biggest Rex's. Furthermore, a length estimate of around 11-12 meters and 6 tons is big, not "big four" big, but still an impressive animal.

I'll just wait for the film, I guess

and hoping that this petting zoo and diablo rex thingy was just a diversion so no one can guess the real plot

I suppose Jurassic World will be a sort of reverse of Jurassic Park. In the 1993 film, Hammond focused more on genetics at the cost of security and technology- hence the Nedry fiasco. In the 2015 film, perhaps Patel would be so intent on preventing a disaster of a similar sort that he must have the most sophisticated system available but must not have worried too  much about what his researchers were upto (D'onofrio's character) and we have the monster D.rex. However, what one must remember is that the upcoming film serves as a sort of explicit reminder that these genetically engineered creatures were never true dinosaurs in the first place. This has been discussed by Dr. Grant and also on several other forums. You have the slightly enlarged or conversely dimnished size in some species, the sounds they make and the T.rex vision problem. After all frog DNA  was used even though we all of us loved to be under the illusion that they were our favourite dinosaurs- just like Hammond was under the illusion that he had control over the place. But, taking off from one of the last lines in Jurassic Park 3, we must realize, it's a whole new world for them, and the upcoming movie's title couldn't be a better transition. I just hope Trevorrow pulls it off with grandeur, albeit of a different sort, and it is not reduced to a battle between monsters. I admit I was shocked at the leaked plot and hope its false, but even if it isn't it still just might retain the wonder of the Jurassic Park universe. 

Loving it. 

Sorry to disappoint the illusioned young folk that expect a rehash of the same story told in 1993.

Logic dictates that you already knew all of this was happening.

The PLOT of the movie is that Jurassic World is a fully functioning theme park...exactly what Jurassic Park never became. Let me reiterate: THEME PARK. also known as, AMUSEMENT PARK. Those of you with any designs that any real attraction called Jurassic World that exists post JP will NOT be some kind of extremely expensive biological preserve that pretends to have nature safely secured...

...No, it will be a corporate nightmare like SeaWorld, with disgustingly small enclosures, dinosaurs performing tricks, and Henry Wu getting a genetics request list to creat whatever management asks for as the next big craze.

Any other story line would NOT be believable in the context of a post JP reality, as humanity was destined to abuse this technology to its fullest. Understand that, and you'll understand why this movie cannot just be a love affair with classic scripting.

lo trovo stupefacente questo film

Great chapter. I was sure that you wouldn't kill off Muldoon.

If it actually weighed that much I'd love to see it. It must've been one hell of a fatty.

It wouldn't be much of a Muldoon story without Muldoon. It would be like a Jurassic Park without science and research being talked about and......... Wait. JP3

Yaay, killing stuff. That's the best kind of muldoon-stuff. Good chapter. Poor Jeffry.

MR.HAPP9097 - YES! That's right - Muldoono lived! I knew you wouldn't let that brat kill him! This was a very good chapter. Thank you so much for sharing it! :)

All the Barretts are semi automatic, as well as the Accurracy International AS50. The Tac50, AW50, and AR50 are bolt action. The bolt actions are 3-5 round if I'm not mistaken, while the semis are 10 round. The semis, being gas operated, have lower recoil, but the bolt actions are more reliable and easier to maintain. The M82A2 and it's predacesor, the XM500 are Bullpup, meaning the mag loads behind the trigger mechanism. 

I'm not sure which is the best, it would ultimately come down which looks the coolest to me if I had to choose, which would actually be the Cheytac AR50.

We can debate about geology and paleontology all day long and not get very far (see how we're both stubborn). You are a Uniformitarian, I'm a Catastrophist, we have different thoughts on earths past. I've recently read a lot on geology, both points of view, and I am sticky with catastrophism. You say it takes a thousand years to deposit one foot of sediments. In my science book, it showed a 20 foot tall wall of sedimentary rock that was formed in less than 5 hours. Tke Engineers' Canyon for example, there is another canyon next to it formed in a day, not a million years.

These are petrified remains of binoculars and a hat. The hat was found in a mine in Tasmainia.

This is a water wheel that was petrified in 60 years. If it takes only 60 years for this to petrify, why would it take millions for fossils to petrify?

Take it how you want, either way, we both have to have faith in something. You have to have faith that the earth is millions of years old and evolution is true as you say, and I have to have faith the Bible is true. Both view points have  a lot of evidence to support them. But I, being slightly biased like all other person with scientific views, am leaning towards Creation and catastrophism. I also really don't see how the Big Bang Theory (not the show) is even a theory at all. The idea of a sudden explosion of energies floating around in nothing creating everything in the precise positions to support life on Earth. There had to be something more intelligent than that.

The Great Flood Had a lot to do with geology and paleontology. The constant shifts and current of the water coming from the bottom of the ocean would have had dramatic affect on everything. Different ainmals would be strewn in different places and buried in different layers of sediments. Uniformitarian geologists take different layers of the earth with the same animals that don't even line up, and tell us that it is a timeline. They take a layer here and a layer there and say, "Ah, that's close enough together that they are the same." That's uniformitarianism for ya.

I got this information from my science book, 'Exploraing Creation With General Science', by Dr. Jay L. Wile. Check it out.

This has been a fun debate, I like dabating things like this.

Blast it! I couldn't upload the image for some reason! Sorry about that. :(

I don't know why, but I keep getting this image in my head every time I think of the D-Rex:

The "Sharptooth" from the Land Before Time. That T-Rex could jump for something so large! :)
