Jurassic World Live Tour

Made a day trip out of it yesterday and went to go see the Jurassic World live show in Houston, TX. Tickets were like $25 I think, not sure if that changes per venue. Anyone else here seen it? It's definitely geared toward the younger crowd but I just like seeing all the animatronics and costumes th...

Re: Unpopular Jurassic Opinions

I agree that hybrids weren't needed. I'm also personally of the volition that the whole "filling in the gaps in the genome with frog DNA" requires a little too much suspension of disbelief. Simply going with "we got blood from the insect trapped in amber" was enough for me. I'd b...

Hello I'm Dinopunk. New to these parts but I've lurked around various dino/dragon/scalie communities since the early 2000's. I blame the original Jurassic Park for my affinity toward dinos. I don't believe in science because to me raptors don't have feathers. I'll die on that hill. Anyways great to ...

Re: Celebrating Sue the T. rex! A Colossal Fossil!

Somewhere in my collection of discs and floppies I have an educational computer game called I See Sue (I think?) that focuses on Sue. It's narrated by Danny Tamberelli (of Pete & Pete fame). :P Sue has (or had?) an official Twitter account too. It's kind of chaotic though, not really my cup of t...

Did you get to ride the ride? (At Universal Studios)

Jurassic Park: The Ride is an amusement attraction that was in operation from 1996 to 2018 at Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando. It was a water ride where you rode around in a boat and took a tour of the facility before going off course and ultimately crossing paths with a T-Rex that jumps out...

Biggest collection misses/regrets?

Ever had a chance to pick up something cool but passed on it and kicked yourself afterwards? Or saw something you wanted but the finances weren't right at the time? Years ago I was at a Half Price Books store and they had an autographed copy of the original Jurassic Park book on sale for $40. I coul...

Re: How did you become a Jurassic Park fan?

My dad straight up took me to see the original film in theaters in 1993! About half way through the movie I think he realized it was probably a little too intense for a first grader but I insisted on staying because I thought the dinosaurs were cool. I hadn't really shown any interest in dinos befor...

Re: The Land Before Time Thread

I believe I saw the first one in theaters when it was released. I was very young though. I didn't keep up with the million sequels they made. The Alamo Drafthouse movie theater close to where I live had a special showing of LBT for one of its anniversaries recently. I went and checked it out. There ...
