    I cant imagin what kind of ride is this one in JP, maybe a kids area??

    Yeah, it's a bit odd. When Hammond mentioned "rides", he meant, ya know, like tours of different areas of the park, like the one we see in film...not "roller coasters" or whatever...? :confused:

    John Arnold did say "We have all the problems of a zoo and an amusement park.." so that opens the idea. I love the idea of roller coasters.

    EDIT: is that really going in the game?

    He wouldn't risk:
    1- Agitating one of his precious dinos with the noise a rollercoaster makes
    2- Any mechanical failure in the vicinity of the dinosaurs (any rides near the dinos altogether I guess)

    maybe this is on another part of the island far away from the "Zoo" part

    He meant the mechanical problems of the automated tour vehicles...hence, why the line is in reference to the malfunctioning head lights on the Jeeps.

    JP wasn't THAT type of a theme park...who's going to spend time on the magic tea cups when there are DINOSAURS right there? Also, how many roller coasters are there at your average game preserve? :confused:

    BTW, just a total semantic, but he's Ray Arnold in the movie-verse. :p

    It's from the new video on IGN. Who knows how it fits in...maybe Hammond wasn't over his fixation with carousels after all. JP is for everyone, even fleas! :p

    In what way are Disney and Sea World "game preserves"? :confused:

    Jurassic Park is closer to this:

    http://www.game-reserve.com/

    Not this:

    http://disneyland.disney.go.com/

    Anyway, it's still a crap idea!

    I really hope we'll see something like the river ride from the Universal Studios in the game.

    Animal Kingdom is pretty close to a Game Reserve, if I'm not mistaken its the largest of all Disney Parks due to the wide animal "paddocks" they have.

    Maybe those machines were on the southwest part of the island :S

    So do we consider Jurassic Park a game reserve or a zoo? When I think of a reserve, I picture open areas and free roaming animals, like Site B turned out to be. Also, a lot of major parks like Sea World and even Kennedy Space Center are adding roller coaster style rides now to keep visitors interested.

    I agree that when Hammond talked about rides, he probably meant things like the river tour and jungle tour in the Explorers.
  • robotporobotpo
    edited March 2011
    It has animals in enclosures, so it's technically a "zoo", but it isn't a theme park in the traditional sense. It's on a remote island, full of primal jungle...IE, much closer to a "reserve" than a park in the middle of Florida...

    BTW, JP: San Diego was in the middle of...San Diego...and didn't look like it had room for rides, (although I guess they could have constructed them outside the amphitheater)...

    The Mr. DNA tour was sort of a ride. Genarro even assumed that the scientists were supposed to animatronic like the pirates in the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean ride, etc.

    I don't know. I like the idea. And it doesn't seem out of place to me. It seems like something Hammond would want to incorporate into the park experience somewhere on the island, and Genarro seems to have been expecting to see those sorts of rides too.

    Remember, Hammond calls it an amusement park, not a wildlife preserve, when talking about it in the visitor center. He even says "I'm not just talking about rides..." The "just" implies that there are rides, they're just not the big draw of the park.

    JP is FULL of references to it being an amusement park:

    - Having all the problems of a major zoo and theme park
    - Hammond regretting not building in Orlando (Hmm what else is in Orlando...)
    - What thesporkman and BlankCanvasDJ said

    Im up for some theme park rides, apart from the traditional tour rides that had the dinosaurs as the centerpiece.

    I mean, once you go on the tours, see the dinos, take pics, what else can you do with Dinosaurs? and fdidnt they developed like a resort and golf course on the island? or did I made that last part up?
  • DustyBoy87DustyBoy87

    No, I remember - there were a few resorts and definetly a golf course.

    nothing cooler then being stuck on a moving roller coaster with raptors chasing after you. It'll be like that scene in Zombie land. Except replace Tallahassee with Dr. Harding and the zombies with raptors.

    HAHAHA! I laughed so hard when I read this. Haven's seen it for awhile but it was something along the lines of: "Are they...auto...autoerotica?"

    As for the rides, I don't know...I always thought of Jurassic Park as something showcasing the dinosaurs themselves as the attractions, not kiddie rollercoasters and the tunnel of love...actually talking about an amusement park just reminds me of that L4D2 level: "Dark Carnival".

    Is that what we're going for?
  • SpielbergFanSpielbergFan
    edited March 2011
    Speaking of possible attractions: I remember there was a ballon tour in "Operation Genesis". The people could fly over the park and take pictures. Of course they couldn't fly during a storm. If they were already in the air when the storm began, it could break down and you had to rescue the people. If you didn't, they died of hypothermia...

    Another idea: In the San Diego Zoo you can drive over the park in so called "Skyfari" gondolas.

    Is it even a ride, it could just be like a name to a section of the museum it looks a little more like that to me :0
  • trockstrocks
    edited March 2011
    Regardless of whether it's actually a zoo or an amusement park, it's definitely a kind of resort. Most people would be there for at least a couple days, so it might make sense to have other entertainment available, whether it's a balloon ride, golf course, or roller coaster.

    I think it will be funny if we are all completely wrong and it's actually a milkshake stand or something.
  • vekiveki
    edited March 2011
    But if there would be rides, please make only few of them. As the main attraction of the park should be, after all, dinosaurs. Living ones. ;)

    Yes, the rides were TOURS of different parts of the Park, like the Jeep Tour and Mr. DNA Tour... BTW, the line infers that "everybody has rides", but their biological attractions are better...

    BTW, I've never heard of JP having theme park rides before this picture popped up...

    everybody has rides, even JP XD

    Like the've been saying, JP was more than a zoo, more than an amusement park, its a mega resort for the super rich(in the novel) or everyone (in the movies)

    This is still the first time ANYONE has ever interrupted that line to mean "amusement park rides"...it was pretty clear what they were talking about in the context of the film...hence, why when it was hinted we'd be seeing rides not seen in the film, we all started guessing about the Jungle River Ride and the Pteratops Lodge...I stand by what I said!

    Hammond was a showman he even talked about his past in the film... it is not much of a stretch that Jurassic Park would have much more than just a "Zoo" he would want it to have EVERYTHING... heck I wouldn't be surprised if there was a casino somewhere on the island.

    [QUOTE=Jurassic Park (1993) movie script
    by David Koepp.
    Based upon the novel by Michael Crichton and on adaption by Michael Crichton and Malia Scotch Marmo.
    Final draft, December 11, 1992. ]The real Hammond turns and speaks over the narration.

    HAMMOND
    None of these attractions have been finished yet. The
    park will open with the basic tour you're about to take,
    and then other rides will come on line after six or
    twelve months. Absolutely spectacular designs. Spared
    no expense.

    More slides CLICK past, a series of graphs dealing with profits,
    attendance and other fiscal projections. Donald Gennaro, who has
    become increasingly friendly with Hammond, even giddy, grins from ear
    to ear.
    [/QUOTE]

    See its hinted that the tour they take is just the basic tour... and that they are working on other rides.

    That were more "high-concept" tours of species not on the main tour. "Disney Land" stuff is really stretching the information we have from the film just to justify something Telltale seems to be putting in the game...Hammond called the Mr. DNA Tour and Main Tour "rides"...the other rides were in the same vein, (such as the "river ride" we see on a slide in the lunch scene)...

    A casino? Yeah, and a JurasStrip Club, "JurasSpa", and fishing pond stocked with coelacanth ALA Rifftrax while we're at it! :cool:

    Also, how exactly will they work the magic tea cups into the gameplay...?

    He was supposed to be an eccentric kind of like Disney and his original plans for Disney World... A one stop destination is not that hard to imagine... especially when someone is "sparing no expense"...

    Heck the Mall of America has animal attractions (including some 5 foot sharks), fine dining, shows, stores, and roller coasters... and that is all in doors... imagine if you had an island...

    They should definitely add River adventure, as it was mentioned in the book. Or Pteratops lodge. Probably those are unfinished rides about which Hammond speaks in the movie.
  • trockstrocks
    edited April 2011
    I would like to see a River Adventure or Pteratops Lodge, also. During the dinner scene of Jurassic Park, one the of background advertisement recordings is of Hammond talking about the Jungle River Cruise. I don't know if that's enough for Telltale to use it in the game.

    I would also like to see the hotel that must be on the island somewhere.

    That sounds more like the Hammond from the book.

    I always thought the Hammond from the first film was eccentric enough to include carnival-like rides on his island of dinosaurs and I even felt it was hinted at in the text. Count me down as one person not shocked that Jurassic Park has a roller coaster.

    You're referring to these:

    - The river adventure ride entrance;
    - The river adventure ride;
    - The Pteratops lodge.
