Exclusive: Spoilery details on Jurassic World; the park, the dino's, & more!
May. 19, 2014 by Paul Shirey

What we have today is more of an elaboration on our original scoop (which you can always take as rumor, hearsay, etc.) that spelled out the concept for JURASSIC WORLD, as well as an examination of the "big bad" dino of the film, a few more details about the inner workings of the park itself, and how it ultimately goes from "Ooo's and Ah's" to "Running and screaming." I've rambled enough. Let's get to details, shall we?



THE PARK

Building on our original scoop: JURASSIC WORLD will be a real running theme park, complete with a monorail (as teased in recent concept art above), shops, rides, and shows. It's the most popular theme park and a family destination. To get there you have to take a high speed shuttle boat from Florida. Inside the park there are a multitude of activities, including a Dino petting zoo and a Hologram info center where you can learn about the methods they are using to create dinosaurs (an enhanced version of the original one). One of the rides is called a "Gyrosphere" that you can get in and ride around in the wild to get up close to the Dinos.



RUNNING and SCREAMING

Business is good at the park, but the powers that be start to dream up new ways to keep customers coming back; namely by splicing Dino DNA with other dinos (and other species). That becomes the problem. They splice together a T-Rex, raptor, snake, and cuttlefish to create a monstrous new dino that, of course, gets loose and terrorizes the park. Nothing like a little greed and human arrogance to ruin a good thing, right? Dino expert Jack Horner has teased this bad boy since last year and now we have an idea why he says we'll want to "keep the lights on" after seeing it. He may be right.

GOOD DINO vs. BAD DINO

According to our source, there will be lots of Dino on Dino fighting, as some of the Dinos are "good guys" that are trained by Chris Pratt's character. The raptors and T-Rex are among the "trained" good dinosaurs. The big bad dinosaur has instant camouflage abilities, like the cuttlefish, so he blends into the background, is smart like the velociraptor, uses his jaw like a snake, and can terrorize like the T-Rex. Does this mean the new dino will be the ONLY "bad" one? Or will there be more than one? Unconfirmed, but it will be the catalyst that kicks off the peril.

And that's it! See, not so bad, right? Nothing ruined and a good bit to ruminate on until the next bit of news, set pics, or perhaps something official. Personally, I love it. I love the park being a real, working park and being able to see John Hammond's dream come to life and people enjoying it as such. I love the idea of the "tamed" dinosaurs as well. I know that may sound like blasphemy to some, but it makes sense (in a world where we recreate living dino's, anyway). Having a new "big bad" dino that terrorizes both the humans and "good" dinos should make for a lot of fun. We certainly don't need to see another version of JURASSIC PARK with humans running from a T-Rex and Velociraptors, so I like the idea of having them be more of an ally to a greater threat this time around. I'm sure some will feel differently, but it works for me.

So, what do you think? Does this change your feelings on the film at all? More or less excited?
