To others, beware, there are some un-spoiler-tagged plot details in that 4chan thread; I didn't mind reading them and who knows if they're true or not, but enter it at your own peril.
Some gems:
Spoiler-tagged just in case; it's only the greatest shit-theory I've ever read, concerning a certain character from JP1:

The kid is fine. He's not a bad actor at all. I think children help sell the "wonder" aspect of this series. I saw the first one when I was 10, so I related more to Tim/Lex. Sure I grew up but just because I'm older I don't think that that age range should be robbed of the same kind of experience just because we're all older, jaded assholes.

Was there new footage or just the same stuff from the trailer?

He is that good. One of the reasons im going to watch it is for him and the glorious tributes he is going to make of john williams music.
Mosauar's lived in shallow waters, so it's possible for a mosquito to bite one that had recently died and washed ashore.

Yes, the dilophosaurus was always my favorite when I was a kid, and the movies weirdly seemed to have forgotten them. For that matter, they weren't even in TLW novel, either.
Maybe that will finally change...I didn't look at the leaked list of dinosaurs, but then who knows how complete that would have been anyway.
The real question is how did a moasaur got that big, to eat a great white whole it would be the biggest animal of all time.

The music being so good kind of pisses me off, because I have the sinking feeling it's going to be wasted on a popcorn spectacle.

Genetic engineering. This isn't natural evolution dictating how big a creature should be, they probably engineered it to be that big

Why? How do you feed an animal that big? How to you keep an animal that big? You know the reason there are no blue whales in aquariums? Makes no sense to make an animal twice the size of a blue whale.

Seriously fiending for some JP: Operation Genesis, but I can't find my disc! Wish it was on Steam. That plus the Community Expansion Pack.
I love how years after the game came out, the few really obsessed fans that were there realized the game actually had a very complicated and sophisticated behavioral system in place. Like you can have this animal penned with this animal but under certain conditions they won't kill each other.
No, the Brachs in the original film looked like fake, animatronic inspired-by-life dinosaurs.
The CGI of the third film made the animals look more rounded and cartoony. As if they didn't bring back any of the JP animators, but instead hired people who worked on Disney's Dinosaurs. I know the Spinosaur had big feet and claws, but they look almost a bit too big. The Carnotaur I swear to god...

Well it's not exactly smart to make an camouflaged intelligent predator that's larger than a T Rex, but they did. I think it comes down to what Ian said in the original, thinking what they could do instead of what they should.

I guess an aquatic komodo dragon the size of a orca isn't cool enough.

But not NeoGAF pissed - science pissed.

Others just cant resist pointing out that one scene featuring a dinosaur sorry, an extinct marine reptile, called a mosasaur jumping out of pool to eat a huge white shark in front of an audience (think Sea World) would need to be mathematically correct to allow a predator of that size to generate thrust sufficient to breach the surface.

You're missing the point. An animal of that size is impossible to keep alive in an enclosed environment. The amount of money needed would also be insane. Think of the amount of food it would need. Animal or that size kept in small spaces die easily from stress.

Am I right in saying the only person confirmed to be returning from the earlier films is the scientist from JP?

I don't think you need to be a scientist to figure out this movie will be, at the very least, stupid as all fuck.

Here is what I think they should have done:
Have the movie open with a montage of the park opening, people laughing and enjoying the sights, etc. Then, show it (in the same montage) falling apart through some terrorist attack or something, and everyone scattering into the jungle/dying.
Have the premise be that some sort of high-ranking official or someone of importance is on the island but trapped at a facility deep in the interior, and the one way to rescue them is on foot. The movie would follow a rag-tag group of commandos/mercs as they work their way into the jungle to save them. They would start off on ATVs but would eventually have to slog through the marshes/tall grass, etc. They would fight a few raptors, outsmart them, and then eventually take down a T-Rex or something. There would be no genetically-altered smart dinos, nor any tamed raptors. Just a bunch of manly men kicking ass Predator-style as they try to save whoever needs saving.
In the end I don't even care if they save the person, the movie isn't about that. It's more similar to Dredd in that it's just about the mission, not about the goal.

Why do all these ideas always turn Jurassic Park into an action movie? If I wanted to see soldiers fighting dinosaurs and stuff, I'll go watch Syfy. What I liked about the first one was that it was regular people, just trying to flee and stay alive, not some big action movie. I'd very much rather see the park go to hell, and regular people now in this insane horrific situation, trying to get to safety, than "soldiers fight dinosaurs in the jungle"
kind of a heads up/off topic thing, but AMC is playing the trilogy right now
watching JP1 right now, I wonder how much science talk will be mentioned or will it be straight up disaster action porn. They have to at least mention some of the new finds in the field....minus the feathers lol

I view JP as like the Alien franchise: You can only really do a single movie in a certain genre really well. Alien did the horror/thriller genre well, and Aliens did the action genre really well. The rest...were superfluous. JP is the same way. The first was awesome, but they shouldn't try to replicate it, they should take it in new directions.

The build up worked so well in the original. Establishing and describing the Rex, raptors, and dilphosaurus but not showing them, the slow decline to disaster (Nedry doing his thing, the storm brewing as they're with the triceratops, etc.) It built suspense and tension masterfully.
Of all the things to be mad about, the dinosaurs not having feathers is the weakest argument. It's what the audience expects. Also, they could easily explain it away with genetic engineering. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a quick mention in the movie of why there aren't feathers. Something like "this is a business and we sell what people want. Nobody wants to see oversized chickens."
Edited to make for a cool callback.
Is it? People just want to see so cool looking dino instead of the same old generic ones.

This is the weakest argument for not having feathers.

Then what's the point of Jurassic Park? They were trying to recreate reality. Remember John Hammond's talk in the first movie about his flea circus?
Money. Hammond is dead so they don't care.
The movie is a pretty transparent criticism of the movie franchise itself.

Yes, that was his vision. Probably not what the new company and Wu has in mind. Money and attracting crowds is more important than recreating reality

You're getting hybrids because it makes money.
Well if you think about it , every dinosaur in JP is a hybrid.
You're getting ONE hybrid dino and all the other genetically designed, lab created, paleontologically innacurate dinos from the other movies.

From what I understand in the original ending they weren't cornered at all by the raptors at all, that was changed for the T-Rex to come in and rip one of the raptors apart. Originally, since the visitors center was still under construction, there was suppose to be a lift/ crane that they would use to hide on after coming out of the ventilation shaft. The raptors would try and climb up the lift and I guess Grant would use the lift controls to knock down the giant T-Rex skeleton in the middle of the visitors center to kill both of raptors, or at least badly wound them.
EDIT Here's the actual storyboards for the original ending:
I can't find all the storyboard images, but this is the gist of it.

They're frogs, remember?
No, they're not. They're dinosaurs spliced with frog DNA to fill the gaps in their genetic code.
Why frog DNA? This has always been problem for me. This film take place several years in the future and if they know dinosaur like us than they would switch to bird dna by now
