Poll of the Day > Jurassic (Cretaceous) Park?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Would I risk death to gaze upon ancient bird ancestors? Yes, yes I would!

I want to see a giant pacarana. Basically a capybara about the size of a horse.

I might sometime, if it's near enough and easy enough on the wallet.

At this point in my life, probably not.

I haven't even been to a normal zoo for nearly 40 years. I can't see being willing to fly thousands of miles to an island to look at giant not-lizards.

And that's before getting into the discussion about whether or not recreating dinosaurs is a terrible, terrible idea.

it's a great idea, but i also don't like humans very much.

Probably

This also reminds me that in the DND game Im playing, we have a Cretaceous Courtyard, IIRC

Probably, assuming they didn't spare any expenses.

I would if they make it safe.

Giant War Sloths!!

Are they actual dinosaurs or the fake, amphibian gene spliced scientific monstrosities from the book/movie?

It'd be cool, but actually pulling it off would be so expensive that I wouldn't consider it worth the price the tickets had to be.

It's... kind of not, though?

In the original movies, it's clearly intended for the masses, it just never has a chance to open. Hammond explicitly says he doesn't want it to just be for the rich. (Granted, book Hammond is waaay more of an asshole and is definitely in it solely for the money, but even he has more of a Disney-esque mentality of getting tons of people into the park, not just the rich, because you make more money that way).

In Jurassic World, you basically see tons of families there, and the Disney parallels are even more obvious.

The park is essentially designed to be affordable, but with tons of turnover and merch generating revenue, while reducing operating costs by cutting as many corners as possible (which is why everthing goes wrong).

If I had the money, I would.

The problem was the design of the park.

If it was made like a regular zoo everyone would be safe

'No'

I'm fine with a postcard or photo of the exhibits.

Already questioning how someone could put a full-size Pterodactyl in an enclosure. You didn't think about these dinosaurs back when teenagers were shouting them out to turn into power rangers.

Why? I suppose if you are masochistic, you would definitely want to put yourself in harm's way to experience a living nightmare just for the hell out of it but those with sane minds would want to avoid such negative experiences. So, no thank you...
