Yeah, how that you mentioned it, the one good thing about Lost World was that it kicked of a lot of great JP toys.

I wonder if that is where they got the idea. I don't remember a Tyranoraptor rex in any toy, however.

Goddammit, I am already hyped. How long till the movie comes out?

Fridge Brilliance on tame velociraptors. In the first book , In Gen wanted to create pet dinosaurs to sell. This is 22 years after that. So naturally they would've made some progress.

That is of course assuming those velociraptors are tame and not just running from an even greater threat.

Reading this thread...do some people just want a live action version of Dino Riders?

Perhaps the Diabolus Rex is based off of the unmade Ultimasaurus toy from the Chaos Effect toyline? It's the same basic idea.

Both, apparently. The raptors are there to help him to begin with, but in that particular scene both the dinos and ranger are running away.

@Mammoths - The Masrani website mentioned something about buying land in Siberia, so maybe....

Sorry if this has been brought up before, but I just thought of it: do you guys think they'll work Richard Attenborough's death into the story through a The Character Died with Him?

They already did. John Hammond died in 97 it seems, so you seem on point with that.

#291: Nov 27th 2014 at 7:11:16 AM

He was laying on a hospital bed in the second one and since real time passes, it's been 13 years or so since then. So yeah, he dead.

Also, regarding ice age animals. Would they really like/thrive in frozen tundra temperatures? I was under the impression the ice age is part of what killed them all.

End of the ice age plus over population, I think.

The biggest factor for the Ice Age extinctions was humans. Yes, climate change can cause extinctions, but not so drastically, dramatic climate change like that is pretty normal and those species went though it before just fine.

I wonder what Isla Sorna is like now. Still a nature preserve (since I'm assuming JP 3 didn't happen) or part of the park?

Parable Since: Aug, 2009
#296: Nov 27th 2014 at 9:48:18 AM

Wait, did I miss something? Why would JP 3 affect the nature preserve's status?

NapoleonDeCheese Since: Oct, 2010

JP 3 is easy to just ignore, since its events really didn't affect a whole lot of people. There's no real need to retcon it out, despite of what you may think about its quality.

FFShinra Since: Jan, 2001
#298: Nov 27th 2014 at 1:05:14 PM

JP 3 seemed to forget it was a nature preserve. There was no measures to prevent entry or exit to or from the island.

But fair, it can be ignored.

Still would be interested in knowing if Isla Sorna is still a nature preserve or if Masrani reactivated "the factory floor".

The island was quarantined. Right at the beginning of the movie when it did the title location of Isla Sorna, it flashed big red letters on the screen "RESTRICTED AREA"

And then when the rescue party flew in, they made a clear showing of the mercenaries turning off the radio that was broadcasting warnings from the Costa Rican government that they were in restricted airspace. The problem is that Costa Rica's military doesn't really have the resources to enforce that kind of quarantine, and further, as it is not a military restricted zone, they can't just willy-nilly shoot down anyone that flies into it.

Well that and they don't have a military period. I'd have thought, since it was an American company that screwed up the island, that Costa Rica would have the US enforce the quarantine.

Seriously, if its as easy as just not listening to the radio, thats not much of a quarantine. Thats why I don't take JP 3 as canon. In JP 2, they had the Rex shipped back under military escort. Surely the island would get the same treatment given what happened to the little girl...
