That would be really cool. No reason to kill it if you can capture it.
Plus there's nothing saying a Trex can't live for that long.

And she was the biggest Tyrannosaur to appear in the films so far? If they did have a fight between a Rex and the hybrid this is the one you want.
 
I guess some things are universal:

I wish I could go to the petting zoo and pet a baby Triceratops :D

Tweet Trevorrow to fix it.

Then I'd have to tweet him to tell him they fucked up the arms on their theropods, the shoulders on their Gallimimus is off, the lack of feathers, and such. At this point, who cares. Let it stand a testament of the attention to detail in this Jurassic Park Parody.
 
Oo there's a map. Loving this.

I thought the Mosasaurus scene in the trailer was seaside because of how big it was, but I guess they built a huge muthafuckin tank in the middle of the island.

Uh huh. Dude, Velociraptors are 6 feet tall.

No. A new corporation comes in and buys up INGEN etc. when Hammond dies and goes back on his path basically. The corporation website explains how they faced a lot of trouble from animal rights groups etc. desperate to find any issues during the rebuilding to get the island shut down etc.
 
Heh. The InGen page of Masrani has cool info: http://www.masraniglobal.com/about/divisions/ingen/index.html

The acquisition of InGen by Masrani in 1998 hasn't changed the scientific focus placed on the company, and CEO Simon Masrani has looked to experienced geneticist Dr. Henry Wu to guide the company ever since - with results often exceeding expectations for investors. Thanks to Masrani, InGen has been reinvented and is bringing tomorrow's science, today.

Lead Genetic Biologist: Dr. Henry Wu, of InGen, stands behind a collection of amber samples collected from various InGen operated mines located all across the world.

After the unfortunate incident at Jurassic Park, Dr. Henry Wu returned to Isla Nublar in November of 1994 to assist the clean up teams in cataloging specimen numbers, and to identify exactly how the animals were breeding. Despite the island’s presence of seemingly same sex animals, it was the inclusion of amphibian DNA which he himself had underestimated. Dr. Wu noted that the inclusion of DNA sequences from several species of amphibians including the Common Reed Frog (Hyperolius viridiflavus) adapted extremely well to the cloned DNA of the dinosauria - eventually enabling the animals to change their sex through a chemical trigger which disintegrated the female organs to create male sex organs.

This event intrigued Dr. Wu and inspired him to write the book ‘The Next Step: An Evolution of God’s Concepts’ in 1995. Within its pages he included a theory claiming that, with the right tools and research, he could bring brand new species into fruition by the combination of various species. “Much like selective breeding within domestic animals,” he writes, “but with this, we would be combining several species into one new animal. Today's technological limitation means we are decades away from achieving this, maybe even fifty years away, but who knows, hopefully in my life time we could see it become a reality.”

By May of 1997 Dr. Wu and his research team at a financially struggling InGen had successfully combined several species of plant life together giving birth to the Karacosis wutansis (or Wu Flower) which gained world-wide media attention, including the attention of Simon Masrani - who incidentally acquired InGen the following year. The son of a close friend of the now late John Hammond, Simon Masrani promoted Dr. Wu within the ranks of the InGen company in December of 2000 and brought the scientist onto the Jurassic World project. Dr. Henry Wu was instantly looked at as a valued member of the Masrani company, proving his unique skill not only as a successful scientist, but a great visionary.

While I know the answer is no.
If they wanted to increase people coming to the island.
They should have offered being able to eat the Dinosaurs.

They said they can grow them faster now right?
I would pay 50 bucks for a T-Rex burger.

That's probably because most of the effects shots aren't completed yet.

I really really hope so. With what CG CAN do, things can look amazing. But, it's all in the budget of course, and how much they are willing to touch things up. I thought Guardians looked amazing, and yet, somehow the latest Transformers seemed a little lacking, compared to its predecessors (yeah I saw them all v_v)

Still months until release, the perfect time for touch-up! But... where's my animatronics? :(

Weirdly, nearly every shot in the trailer is a wide shot, so none of em are conducive for puppetry :T

Most animatronics are for close-ups, and it seems like they wanna save from showing any dinos close-up till later. Gonna lose my shit when they finally show off the T-rex.

Is this the petting zoo? Cause that one kid is certainly on the inside of the fence...

It's not just the one kid, there's several people off focus inside that area, so I assume it's petting pen of some sort.

That's what I was assuming too, since the dinos shown were either too big, or had motion involved. They really are holding back the t-rex and i-rex shots, too. I'm actually hoping that they will keep the i-rex a surprise for the movie itself. It's always nice when trailers don't spoil all of the big reveals.

You have to have the actual book. Gregory S Paul's Predatory Dinosaurs of the World (published in 1988, and has feathered dinosaurs I might add) book had Velociraptor and Deinonychus (which was only about a foot or two off) listed as the same animal. Since Velociraptor was discovered first, Deinonychus became Velociraptor. Of course the two aren't that similar, and are now separate taxon.

The Velociraptors in the Jurassic Park films are actually Deinonychus--still not man sized, but much closer than actual Velociraptors.

The reason for the name mixup is due to one paleontologist--Gregory S. Paul, who wrote the book "Predatory Dinosaurs of the World" in the eighties, which was one of the primary sources cited by Michael Crichton when writing Jurassic Park. Gregory S. Paul is known among paleontological circles for "lumping," a process that consists of putting many disparate species of animals into one genus (the opposite is termed splitting). He believes that dinosaurs are split into too many different genera (the scientific genus is what all dinosaurs are known by save Tyrannosaurus rex, "rex" being the species) and that they should be lumped together as different species under a smaller amount of genera. Note that there is no actual scientific definition of what a genus actually is besides being a higher and more general term than species, so what falls under what genus is pretty hard to define and can be very subjective.

Now sometimes Paul is on the money or at least close, but one of his more well known examples of this was considering Velociraptor mongoliensis and Deinonychus antirrhopus so closely related to be members of the same genus, noted in his book Predatory Dinosaurs of the World. Because the name that was made first had priority, he considered Deinonychus to be "Velociraptor antirrhopus." This is seen by him now to be an error and most paleontologists then did not agree with him.

But this was the book Crichton used as a primary source, especially for all things raptor, so that's what he went with--Grant even specifically corrects Tim in the book by saying that Deinonychus was now known as Velociraptor. And this carried over into the film itself, where the name was retained because it sounded cooler.

Essentially, bringing up the size of the raptor's size in the films as a mark against its accuracy is slightly off the mark because the main problem there is not their size but their name.

Hahahahaha!!!

Oh my god, if there's any doubt left the people making this movie give a flying fuck about dinosaurs, this picture on the official site says it all.

Oh jesus, a cursory glance at Wikipedia could have fixed that. But that seems even beyond this film's attempts at dinosaur research, which seem to consist of Google images and sending Horner a check in the mail.

Thanks, I didn't know about that. If it was published in 1988 and had feathered dinos even back then, then the films have ignored this fact since the beginning, eh? :P (I know it wasn't nearly as widespread back then)

That's been the issue that still hasn't been resolved for me though, even the deinonychus was roughly 3 feet in height; nowhere near the size of the raptors in the film. I think the Utahraptor discovered later JP was the only one near the movie raptor size, if not a good bit larger.

How is this NOT a real park?!

If the amount of effort put into making the park look real is indicative of the amount of heart put into the movie, we're in good shape.

I really, really love that these are pictures from the real set and it looks like a real goddamn theme park.

Surprised they didn't do it as a part of an overhaul to a section of Universal or something :lol

No kidding. Everything looks so legitimate. Guess they took the legitimacy budget out of CGI and put it into props.

This has got to be a record of the most realized non-real theme park.
