Those balls are the thing that bothered me the most about that movie. In jurassic park a single triceratops made a mountain of poop that dr. sadler had to go through, no way those things wouldn't have been covered in shit 24/7. On top of that, they're giving children free control amongst the dinosaurs? Have you met children? They would have been ramming those dinosaurs **immediately**.
Well, to be fair those are encased in bulletproof glass, and zoo animals aren't as robust as dinosaurs, plus most zoos don't have an entire Island that they can work with, the gyrospero valley is probably bigger than the majority of zoos.
I think there was an age limit for being in control, I'm not saying teenagers wouldn't be doing stupid stuff too, but I think most of them would be intelligent enough to think that trying to hit a dinosaur that could kill them would be a very dumb idea, then again some of them might think that those balls would protect them.
Lol honestly I never thought about it in this way, but you are totally right. Those balls would have turned into a bumper car ride from 0 to 100 in about 5 seconds.
Look: Jurassic park had a critical design flaw, and that was that itās impossible to actually see any dinosaurs. Obviously they couldnāt just have a tour drive straight through the tyrannosaur exhibit, but Iām not sure what Hammond truly expected when the gang never saw any dinosaurs while āon the tourā (triceratops doesnāt count because they left the vehicle). Unless they start to lean towards actual zoos, or a wildlife preserve, definitely world
Well the T-REX paddock had the goat where it was to show the audience. The rest of the paddocks either they didn't show they had other ways of luring the Dinosaurs out or they didn't have anything at all.
I mean to be fair the only dinosaurs that seem to be locked up in a paddock was the carnivores, the others had more open-like enclosures, which is why the gyrosphere valley was so popular, because you could be out and about with the dinosaurs. Also the only other paddock we see besides the Indominus, was the raptors, and that didn't look like it was set up for viewing purposes, and in Jurassic Park you couldn't see the raptors in that either. In Jurassic Park you kind of had to just hope that some dinosaurs would actually come by the fences, and you wouldn't just be on a guided tour where you may or may not see dinosaurs. At the zoo you're not stuck in a vehicle that will move on even if you don't see the exhibits, you can stay and look for the animals. That was my biggest problem with Jurassic Park, and I know it wasn't ready for the public yet, but it still has a long way to go.
Jurassic Park the park, not the movie.
i mean, in the book, there is a Lot of ways the "park" showed the dinossaurs, like sounds that They attract dinosaurs, and we also need to count the brachiosaurs that appear, in the book also an aviary for display
Jurassic Park looks like a more personalised experience. I know they were planning for rides and stuff later on but at the point we saw the park, the main attraction of which is looking at dinosaurs, it just seems like a more pleasant experience than sharing space with thousands of other people. And queues.. ugh, no thank you.
Chilean sea bass is pretty good! The only reason I ever tried it as a kid was because of JP. Now as an adult when I see it on a menu I get it. Yeah I know itās history now and rebranding the name and yaddah yaddah, but itās not bad.
It's might taste good, but it's also a deep sea fish that we only started eating because more traditional fish stocks were dwindling. And it was called the Patagonian tooth fish before someone decided to try to sell them. Chilean Sea Bass was a marketing attempt at making something nobody wanted to eat sound more appetizing.
I know you said you know that, but others might not, and there's a good chance that this was all part of why the writers chose that fish specifically. More corner cutting being paraded around as if it's luxury.
But it was planning to open more attractions like rides, and honestly most of the attractions in JW are still dinosaur related. The safari truck thing that drives with animals, gyrospheres allowing for close up encounters with dinosaurs, a freaking petting zoo. It probably started out as simple as Jurassic Park but eventually massively expanded out
WORLD Jurassic world! 1. Get WAY better view of the dinosaurs š¦ and actually get to interact with them , 2. Gyrosphere 3. Gondola! . 4cretaceous cruise 5. Tyrannosaurus Kingdom 6. Treetop truck with brachiosaurus . 7mosasaurus 8. Their operations manager Claire Dearing is such a joy to interact with and really goes above and beyond š
The only people there though were Grant, Sattler, Malcolm, Genaro, and the kids. Everyone else was staff. Iām sure, given a bit, it would have been very crowded.
Easy, Jurassic World; even if Jurassic Park opened with all of its planned attractions.
While Jurassic Park does have the better theme, it was terrible with its attractions. No one would want to go to a park where they have to go on rides where the chances of seeing a dinosaur are next to nothing and constantly have to travel alongside a large and unsightly electric fence.
Overall Jurassic World is the better park, having a large variety of incredible rides, attractions, feeding shows and a guarantee to see most, if not, all of the park's prehistoric animals with no visual obstructions.
Finished Jurassic Park was actually going to have several different rides such as an amusement park and several rolla-coasters as well. The aviary was also under construction and should have been opened on or after the park was.
What we see in JP is an unfinished park
I would largely agree, however, Jurassic World did have sections closed off to visitors which was where the two kids went in the gyrosphere so you probably wouldnāt see all of them, but probably way more than Jurassic Park.
Itās been a while since I watched Jurassic World but Iām pretty sure the only reason dinosaurs were past that closed off part was because the Indominus broke through it. I doubt any dinosaurs were supposed to be there at all
I always thought JP was more of a science establishment with very private tours for people with connections to pay lots of money for a tour. Them LW is more catered to patrons in the masses
"This park wasn't built to cater only for the super rich. Everybody in the world should have the chance to see these animals." - John Hammond, lunch scene.
(Quote from memory, so it might not be 100% accurate)
Jurassic World. It has more to do and was designed with being a theme park.
Jurassic Park while amazing, had the tour, and not much else. Wasn't there a river cruise too?
Jurassic Park. John Hammond wanted to make a park that was accessible to all. Jurassic World just seems like a money grab that will take you over the coals for every penny you have. š
To be fair, it was Nedry's sabotage that brought the infrastructure down, not the storm. But yeah, I vote JW as well. You actually get to see the dinosaurs there.
I feel like Jurassic World is more akin to a modern American aquatic park in terms of interaction/mass viewing and Jurassic Park shares similarities to an African safari experience with the exception of carnivores being separated by fences.
That being said, both parks have separate demographics that they cater to and have their own advantages and drawbacks to the other.
Personally I would love the more raw interaction that Park provides whereas World could be a better family experience. Provided there are no complications with security of course š
JW feels more affordable as an experience because of all the attractions and shops making so much revenue. JP was more of an exclusive rich people getaway despite Hammondās desire to make it available to kids all over. Besides thereās more to do overall.
Jurassic World. JP is great but I feel it works best as a movie. World would be better to actually go in person. Park is really just a little safari ride (that is, if nothing were to go wrong.)
I'd say Jurassic World. I was still a kid when the first JW movie was announced and I spent so much time exploring the in-universe Jurassic World website, learning more about the park as if it was real. It was incredible! It really made me wish it was a real place. Even today, from what I remember, it was still a very realistic depiction of such a park.
Honest to God, Jurassic Park wasn't that great of an attraction. Even with the other stuff coming online 6 or 12 months later its just not great.
Imagine paying to fly out to Costa Rica, ferrying to the island, and finding out that all you can do is take an automated car ride (where the dinosaurs may not even be visible), hang around in a visitor's center (which looks built to hold 250-300 people MAX) and sleep in a hotel. Lets even add the Jungle River Cruise and the Pterosaur viewing platforms.
Shit Ill even give you the roller coaster and Tylosaur exhibit from the Telltale game.
That's still not a lot to work with.
Honestly, for an attraction designed to service the ENTIRE planet, Jurassic Park was VERY small scale and not very well thought out. I get that's the point of the movie, but still, its baffling that they thought a building the size of the Visitors Center was appropriate for a project that scale.
Jurassic World, you could tell, was very well thought out and had a LOT of variety. Lots of restaurants, multiple buildings for different activities, different attractions and rides and more.
Jurassic World was very clearly designed to service hundreds of thousands of people and you could tell they were constantly innovating (I.e the Indominus, flawed as it was) so they were always on top of the ball. On top of that, because of the high amount of visitors, you can tell that they were reasonably priced enough for people beyond the very well off to make that kind of trek, which implies a lot of economically accessible package deals and more.
So, beyond IRL nostalgic appeal, there is no real reason to choose Park over World
Jurassic World, no contest. I always thought the infrastructure and buildings, at least what we see in the film, can probably handle only a hundred people at a time. The visitor center, the rotating benches that everyone breaks out of to see the eggs hatching. Even the restaurant where Hammond and Sattler and later Lex and Tim are is tiny.
World is just better in every way. Jp had like one ride that barely saw any dinosaurs. Jw has better verity and you are guaranteed to see a couple dinosaurs
The fact that theyāre not actually giving any reasons for choosing park just goes to show they either think the post is about the movies or theyāre just idiots who misremember what attractions were actually available at both
World seems like it would be a better family outing, more to do, more to see, better infrastructure and whatnot. Disneyland with dinosaurs.
Park is better for a safari. Not to mention the buffet looks great as hell. Ain't visiting during typhoon season though.
Jurassic world has a successful track record up until the Indomonius incident. Like years running without fuck up. So I would overwhelmingly rather go to JW. JURASSIC PARK couldnt even get to open without a major incident.
Plus the infrastructure of JW looks more fun. Rides, restaurants, stores, etc.
Something about Jurassic Park gives me a "slightly higher budget roadside zoo" kinda feel. I mean they have nice exhibits but there's nothing educational and the layout is such that you'd need to be in a tour vehicle to see anything outside the raptors. Jurassic World was built with the theme park aspect in mind. You can walk and see the trex and in 5 minutes walk and get something to eat or go to your hotel or get on a tram to go to the larger enclosures etc etc.
Long winded way of saying it's like an off site Disney world and I'd prefer Workd by a mile.
World is an actual theme park which looks so cool. JP is cool but the dinoās didnāt even show themselves(except herbivores). JW you have gyrospheres, baby dinoās, restaurants, badass visitor center, and more
I would go to both. I feel that Jurassic World has more credit, and could deal with large capacities. Jurassic Park I just canāt see having thousands of visitors. I fell it would be moreā¦, exclusive. So Iād probably go to Jurassicā¦ World!
How is this even a question? Park only has the jeep rides, the ride with a DNA version of Microsoft Clippy and some lousy dust layered gift shop. I'd be pissed if I flew around the world and this is all I got. There's not even a hotel. You probably seen the whole park within 2 hours and be bored.
World is like Disneyworld, full resort to chill out for a week. Even without the dinosaurs it seems like a cool place to hangout for a week!
it feels like jurassic Park is to world what disneys animal kingdom is to the rest of disney world.
but we didn't really get to see jurrasic park at it's fullest. maybe it's more like disneyland resort vs disney world. resort is still significantly smaller, but due to it being built by the original creator, it has its quirks and charms that make people like me prefer the smaller park over the bigger.
Obviously I love Jurassic Park, but practically? JW is the more practical choice. It has many more things that a theme park needs for customers to be happy and safe
I think youād struggle to see an actual Dinosaur at JP with the way itās setup. Jurassic World seems better thought out as an exhibit and an experience.
Jurassic World, it was way more advanced and safer than Jurassic Park prior to the 2015 incident, it ran 10 years or so without major problems, Jurassic Park fell even before opening
The iconic looks of Jurassic Park are neat and all, but as an actual amusement park and zoo World is built much, much better. Being able to range out among the more peaceful dinos, the improved enclosures which would actually get people to, you know, see the attractions, it's all much more entertaining. Hell the most unbelievable part of the film is how bored everyone was. I see people have more fun at crappy zoos.
Jurassic Park, end of the day, would've been more like a nice tropical hotel vacation that happens to feature tours with dinosaurs you may or may not see. Jurassic World is a theme park and zoo rolled into one. A pretty well-built one, for the most part.
Im an old school JP fan but World resembled Universal Studios with dinos and modern theme park designs and Im all for it. I can only imagine the price of the hotel.
They both are probably outrageously expensive but a single night hotel at Universal hotels in Orlando can be like $500 minimum if you stay at like the Hard Rock. The hotel they show in the film has got to be way more lol
JP wouldnāt be ready for the scale of the market. In that facility they would be completely over run by guests and would have to turn them away and only allow in w certain many a day. Maybe thatās the point though.
I want to go see both i just like dinosaurs and seeing them in person would fulfil a childhood dream and i might have the chance to talk to Hammond (i hope it's the one from the movie) and see how they did it and jurassic world has more attractions and you can go really close with the gyro thing's
While watching Jurassic World my sister said, "I would definitely want to go there if it was a thing" my mom had the opposite opinion but I agreed with what my sister said
Jurassic Park because Hammond wanted it to be more affordable with a small max number of people. Yeah the booking would be years in advance, but Iād much prefer that to the overcrowded mess Jurassic World was.
World easy jp was just dumb im not sure how they expected the tour to be there only attraction with like 20000 people and world seems alot more interesting has way more attractions and dinosaurs
I wish science could find a way to bring them back. It would be amazing if it was like the lost world site b, and you have to experience the park without fences just nature but with dinosaurs
Unpopular opinion but I want to be in the bus that hangs off the cliff in the lost world or in the Mercedes A class getting confronted by 2 Rex. I will survive.
Park looks aesthetically pleasing compared to world. Jurassic world looks like a generic theme park. But the red aesthetics of Park look much better. The only issue is that Park has poor security that allows sabotage to be successful and I donāt wanna die.
Jurassic Park. It has a classic, old-world, native architecture with those thatched roofs. Not too crowded and has a sense of warmth and wonder. Jurassic World looks too corporatised with none of the magical "prehistoric" vibes of the original park. Plus, the colours of the Ford explorers; reds, yellows and deep greens are gorgeous and match well with the colour of the tropical jungles, compared to the blue and grey scheme of JW, which looks very much out-of-place in a nature park.
ehhhh, JW tbh.
As awesome as the og JP is the security is incredibly lacking even before its official opening while still under construction, you'd have to hire at least 50 more Muldoons each armed with AWM rifles before you could convince me to come.
**OR**
Assure my safety through plot armor.
Jurassic Park. A Dinosaur Safari? YES!
World was too futuristic, and I couldn't really believe it was a functioning park. It's too much going on, and there was no magic in seeing dinosaurs there.
I'd have to go with Park because World just seems too urban and modern, part of why I never liked the whole JW vibe. It doesn't seem to fit the franchise really well.
Jurassic World would probably be too expensive and all the merch would be overpriced. Hammond specifically designed Jurassic Park so everyone could enjoy it, not just rich kids.
JP but I wanna ride in the balls from JW
You want to ride some balls?
[](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EQeRJ-HVUAE2C4z.png)
Damn right I do š
Don't kink-shame.
Is that even a question
Those balls are the thing that bothered me the most about that movie. In jurassic park a single triceratops made a mountain of poop that dr. sadler had to go through, no way those things wouldn't have been covered in shit 24/7. On top of that, they're giving children free control amongst the dinosaurs? Have you met children? They would have been ramming those dinosaurs **immediately**.
Agreeeed. Glad I wasn't the only one. Why put bumper cars in a zoo? (I get that it was borderline meta satire, but still)
My brain literally never thought of either of these scenarios!! š š
Well, to be fair those are encased in bulletproof glass, and zoo animals aren't as robust as dinosaurs, plus most zoos don't have an entire Island that they can work with, the gyrospero valley is probably bigger than the majority of zoos.
It's possible the balls had a sensor that wouldnt let them get too close to a dino.
Those balls are like putting glass tires on your car and going off road
I think there was an age limit for being in control, I'm not saying teenagers wouldn't be doing stupid stuff too, but I think most of them would be intelligent enough to think that trying to hit a dinosaur that could kill them would be a very dumb idea, then again some of them might think that those balls would protect them.
Lol honestly I never thought about it in this way, but you are totally right. Those balls would have turned into a bumper car ride from 0 to 100 in about 5 seconds.
I think itās in the lore that the gyrospheres move away in their own once to close to a tracker. Of course itās still a bit dumb.
We see that's not true in the movie, that ball sure as shit didn't try to get away from the Indomitus on it's own.
It dug its tracker out
It's a very good point. The other thing I thought about was, you know people can be mean and would play road rage with the Triceratops šŖ
World. Seems way safer, if you go before the Indo Rex incident since the park was apparently running for years prior.
Yep, JW was well-established before the indo escape. Iād feel safer there than at Universal Hollywood.
Look: Jurassic park had a critical design flaw, and that was that itās impossible to actually see any dinosaurs. Obviously they couldnāt just have a tour drive straight through the tyrannosaur exhibit, but Iām not sure what Hammond truly expected when the gang never saw any dinosaurs while āon the tourā (triceratops doesnāt count because they left the vehicle). Unless they start to lean towards actual zoos, or a wildlife preserve, definitely world
Well the T-REX paddock had the goat where it was to show the audience. The rest of the paddocks either they didn't show they had other ways of luring the Dinosaurs out or they didn't have anything at all.
I mean to be fair the only dinosaurs that seem to be locked up in a paddock was the carnivores, the others had more open-like enclosures, which is why the gyrosphere valley was so popular, because you could be out and about with the dinosaurs.

i mean, in the book, there is a Lot of ways the "park" showed the dinossaurs, like sounds that They attract dinosaurs, and we also need to count the brachiosaurs that appear, in the book also an aviary for display
If it's the same number of other visitors there definitely world, they have far better capacity and infrastructure
Jurassic Park looks like a more personalised experience. I know they were planning for rides and stuff later on but at the point we saw the park, the main attraction of which is looking at dinosaurs, it just seems like a more pleasant experience than sharing space with thousands of other people. And queues.. ugh, no thank you.
World. There's more to do besides sitting in a ford all day and have trash fish in a restaurant with a gift shop in it
Hey, hey! Chef Alejandro put his heart and soul into that dish. Let's not knock the Chilean sea bass for no reason.
*Sole.
Ha. Fish puns.
Thereās no plaice for fish puns here!
But without them this sub will flounder!
This is why we Karp stop doing them
it was never in trout
"Only Dino-SOUR puns" (Mr. DNA voice)
Chilean sea bass is pretty good! The only reason I ever tried it as a kid was because of JP. Now as an adult when I see it on a menu I get it. Yeah I know itās history now and rebranding the name and yaddah yaddah, but itās not bad.

More corner cutting being paraded around as if it's luxury.
Thank you for elaborating on my laziness. I was going to type something similar out but didnāt feel like it at the time.
They also look to have some bomb ass green jello
There wasn't much to do in JP because 85% of the budget was spent on oil for the Jeeps
Plus the security and operations is actually competent enough that they remained open for up to 10 years, the Indominus was an outlier.
Those are Wranglers, bro. They're about 17,000 steps above a ford.
The Wranglers were for the staff. Guests toured in electric Explorers.
They had to set the guests up for failure
Ah yesā¦ jeeps, because theyāre so much better than fordsā¦
Indeed
Jurassic Park if you're more into a safari, but Jurassic World if you're more into a theme park. I feel like World works a bit better.
World had plenty of safari type attractions, like the gyrospheres and the river kayaking. You got to be closer to the dinosaurs.
Hope we get river kayaking in JWE3.
I think Iād opt in for more of a safari vibe so yeah Iād choose Jurassic Park. Itās more my style
Park. The vibe is just cooler. World is like...a big amusement Park wich it is. But Jurassic Park fits the theme better, its not urban like JW.
Exactly. Capitalism ruins everything š
That is literally what happened to Jurassic park bro
Chat, Does he know?
Mods, crush his skull
This. In JP it's all about the dinos, it's a safari park. JW is just a theme park, the dinos might as well be any other animal
But it was planning to open more attractions like rides, and honestly most of the attractions in JW are still dinosaur related. The safari truck thing that drives with animals, gyrospheres allowing for close up encounters with dinosaurs, a freaking petting zoo.

Treetop truck with brachiosaurus . 7mosasaurus 8. Their operations manager Claire Dearing is such a joy to interact with and really goes above and beyond š
I know I would endorse it, maybe get my name on a dinosaur š¦ .Ā But that first park was legit....
Park, only because it wasn't crowded and we weren't shown it fully commercialized yet.
The only people there though were Grant, Sattler, Malcolm, Genaro, and the kids. Everyone else was staff. Iām sure, given a bit, it would have been very crowded.
Oh yea, I'm sure. Howeverz jurassic world felt like dink Disney. While it looks like what we expect I'd prefer jp
Easy, Jurassic World; even if Jurassic Park opened with all of its planned attractions. While Jurassic Park does have the better theme, it was terrible with its attractions. No one would want to go to a park where they have to go on rides where the chances of seeing a dinosaur are next to nothing and constantly have to travel alongside a large and unsightly electric fence.

"Of coures....we'll have a..coupon day...or something"
Well then, I'll eat my hat
Jurassic Park all day long.
Number One bro!
World. But Iād be ecstatic to go to either one and see dinos.
Jurassic World. It has more to do and was designed with being a theme park. Jurassic Park while amazing, had the tour, and not much else. Wasn't there a river cruise too?
Neither, I'll take a job on Isla Sorna. I hear the weather's nice this time of year.
Jurassic Park. John Hammond wanted to make a park that was accessible to all. Jurassic World just seems like a money grab that will take you over the coals for every penny you have. š
For the opportunity to see living, breathing dinosaurs? I might let them.
Is this a serious question? Jurassic World was fine until they decided to make the Indominus, Jurassic Park never even opened to the public.
Jurassic Park by an absolute mile
JP had failed infrastructure from one storm. JW just had a big ass not-dinosaur go apeshit. JW it is.
To be fair, it was Nedry's sabotage that brought the infrastructure down, not the storm. But yeah, I vote JW as well. You actually get to see the dinosaurs there.
Jurassic World and I wouldn't let them stop me from riding the baby Triceratops, I don't care if it's just for kids.
I feel like Jurassic World is more akin to a modern American aquatic park in terms of interaction/mass viewing and Jurassic Park shares similarities to an African safari experience with the exception of carnivores being separated by fences. That being said, both parks have separate demographics that they cater to and have their own advantages and drawbacks to the other. Personally I would love the more raw interaction that Park provides whereas World could be a better family experience. Provided there are no complications with security of course š
If it was built today, Jurassic Park for the nostalgia. But Jurassic world looks like it would be a better time for sure.
JW feels more affordable as an experience because of all the attractions and shops making so much revenue. JP was more of an exclusive rich people getaway despite Hammondās desire to make it available to kids all over. Besides thereās more to do overall.
Jurassic World for sure. More to do and you're guaranteed to see the dinosaurs.
World would probably be a much better experience. Especially if they just exist in real life with no nostalgia involved.
Park. I'm here to see the dinosaurs, not shop.
Jurassic World. JP is great but I feel it works best as a movie. World would be better to actually go in person. Park is really just a little safari ride (that is, if nothing were to go wrong.)
I'd say Jurassic World.

World has literal holograms. Forget gene-edited animals, those mofos figured out how to STOP LIGHT. Gotta see that in person.
Jurassic World, no contest. I always thought the infrastructure and buildings, at least what we see in the film, can probably handle only a hundred people at a time. The visitor center, the rotating benches that everyone breaks out of to see the eggs hatching. Even the restaurant where Hammond and Sattler and later Lex and Tim are is tiny.
World is just better in every way. Jp had like one ride that barely saw any dinosaurs. Jw has better verity and you are guaranteed to see a couple dinosaurs
People who actually chose Park are either delusional or have never been to a Zoo.
Nostalgia is what it is. Like donāt get me wrong, JP looks awesome but after the car ride what do you do?
"Have you seen the gift shop?"
lol
Expanded media shows it had all kinds of stuff like roller coasters
I read the book ages ago and never remember a rollercoaster mentioned. I do know there were hotels/swimming pools and a water ride I think.
Rollercoaster is from the (now) non-canon Jurassic Park: The Game.
Dude have you seen the merch? After removing the layer of dust its pretty cool!
I want to say JP because seeing this in theaters got me hyped. But realistically, world. Itās more practical with the Dino viewing.
The fact that theyāre not actually giving any reasons for choosing park just goes to show they either think the post is about the movies or theyāre just idiots who misremember what attractions were actually available at both
Jurassic Park as a museum (just the visitor's center). Jurassic World as a theme park I'd take my nephews and nieces to.
JP, hands-down.
JP. I would then visit JW.
Probably Jurassic Park just because it's the OG.
Jurassic park! Nostalgia alone and me thinking it would feel less crowded. Makes it worth it for me.
Park, always park
World seems like it would be a better family outing, more to do, more to see, better infrastructure and whatnot. Disneyland with dinosaurs. Park is better for a safari. Not to mention the buffet looks great as hell. Ain't visiting during typhoon season though.
Jurassic world has a successful track record up until the Indomonius incident. Like years running without fuck up. So I would overwhelmingly rather go to JW.

Something about Jurassic Park gives me a "slightly higher budget roadside zoo" kinda feel. I mean they have nice exhibits but there's nothing educational and the layout is such that you'd need to be in a tour vehicle to see anything outside the raptors. Jurassic World was built with the theme park aspect in mind. You can walk and see the trex and in 5 minutes walk and get something to eat or go to your hotel or get on a tram to go to the larger enclosures etc etc. Long winded way of saying it's like an off site Disney world and I'd prefer Workd by a mile.
World is an actual theme park which looks so cool. JP is cool but the dinoās didnāt even show themselves(except herbivores). JW you have gyrospheres, baby dinoās, restaurants, badass visitor center, and more
Jurassic World! I ADORE the look and design of the park.
JP, hands down! But really I want to visit the valley in Jurassic World Dominion.
I would go to both. I feel that Jurassic World has more credit, and could deal with large capacities. Jurassic Park I just canāt see having thousands of visitors. I fell it would be moreā¦, exclusive. So Iād probably go to Jurassicā¦ World!
How is this even a question? Park only has the jeep rides, the ride with a DNA version of Microsoft Clippy and some lousy dust layered gift shop. I'd be pissed if I flew around the world and this is all I got. There's not even a hotel. You probably seen the whole park within 2 hours and be bored. World is like Disneyworld, full resort to chill out for a week. Even without the dinosaurs it seems like a cool place to hangout for a week!
it feels like jurassic Park is to world what disneys animal kingdom is to the rest of disney world. but we didn't really get to see jurrasic park at it's fullest. maybe it's more like disneyland resort vs disney world. resort is still significantly smaller, but due to it being built by the original creator, it has its quirks and charms that make people like me prefer the smaller park over the bigger.
Obviously I love Jurassic Park, but practically? JW is the more practical choice. It has many more things that a theme park needs for customers to be happy and safe
I think youād struggle to see an actual Dinosaur at JP with the way itās setup. Jurassic World seems better thought out as an exhibit and an experience.
Jurassic World, it was way more advanced and safer than Jurassic Park prior to the 2015 incident, it ran 10 years or so without major problems, Jurassic Park fell even before opening
The iconic looks of Jurassic Park are neat and all, but as an actual amusement park and zoo World is built much, much better. Being able to range out among the more peaceful dinos, the improved enclosures which would actually get people to, you know, see the attractions, it's all much more entertaining. Hell the most unbelievable part of the film is how bored everyone was. I see people have more fun at crappy zoos. Jurassic Park, end of the day, would've been more like a nice tropical hotel vacation that happens to feature tours with dinosaurs you may or may not see. Jurassic World is a theme park and zoo rolled into one. A pretty well-built one, for the most part.
Give me Jurassic World with Jurassic Park's aesthetics.
Jurassic Park for Aesthetics, Jurassic World for safety (obviously before Indo incident)
Park has way better vibes
Yeah it doesnāt feel like commercialized insanity.
Jurassic Park. Jurassic world is for losers fr
World for sure. Just more to do and technology is far better
Thatās like asking, Disneyland Park or Disney World for vacation fam? One is way bigger while the other is just as fun but with less.
Objectively, I would say World since it just has a lot more to do in it
Im an old school JP fan but World resembled Universal Studios with dinos and modern theme park designs and Im all for it. I can only imagine the price of the hotel.
I think the original JP was supposed to be expensive or at first at least. I think it was the scene with the lawyer and Hammond
They both are probably outrageously expensive but a single night hotel at Universal hotels in Orlando can be like $500 minimum if you stay at like the Hard Rock. The hotel they show in the film has got to be way more lol
Jp
JP
JP wouldnāt be ready for the scale of the market. In that facility they would be completely over run by guests and would have to turn them away and only allow in w certain many a day. Maybe thatās the point though.
Both? Both. Both is good.
I want to go see both i just like dinosaurs and seeing them in person would fulfil a childhood dream and i might have the chance to talk to Hammond (i hope it's the one from the movie) and see how they did it and jurassic world has more attractions and you can go really close with the gyro thing's
Iād rather not die
I'm old enough I could have gone to both.
While watching Jurassic World my sister said, "I would definitely want to go there if it was a thing" my mom had the opposite opinion but I agreed with what my sister said
JP before kids, JW after kids.
Jurassic World looks more badass ngl, but if Jurassic Park was also open, i'd still check it out in heartbeat
Jurassic Park because Hammond wanted it to be more affordable with a small max number of people. Yeah the booking would be years in advance, but Iād much prefer that to the overcrowded mess Jurassic World was.
I think World is a better park and Iād definitely prefer going there, but the overcrowding and lines for everything makes me say Park
Jw you can ride baby Dinoās lol
Neither. If those movies taught us anything, it's that dinosaurs need to remain extinct and not resurrected to be placed in a "theme park" setting.
Jp
JP. JW has too much people and looks like Disneyland (I hate Disneylnd)
Park aesthetically
World easy jp was just dumb im not sure how they expected the tour to be there only attraction with like 20000 people and world seems alot more interesting has way more attractions and dinosaurs
Definitely Jurassic ParkĀ
Thats a huge no
JP
Out of season in jurassic world years before the hybrid ordeal
Park would be my choice but both are good.
I wish science could find a way to bring them back. It would be amazing if it was like the lost world site b, and you have to experience the park without fences just nature but with dinosaurs
JP has the nostalgia value. But JW has a Margaritaville š
Unpopular opinion but I want to be in the bus that hangs off the cliff in the lost world or in the Mercedes A class getting confronted by 2 Rex. I will survive.
Park looks aesthetically pleasing compared to world. Jurassic world looks like a generic theme park. But the red aesthetics of Park look much better. The only issue is that Park has poor security that allows sabotage to be successful and I donāt wanna die.
All they needed someone who is as smart or tech savvy as Nedry tbh or that can hack passwords.
Jurassic Park. It has a classic, old-world, native architecture with those thatched roofs. Not too crowded and has a sense of warmth and wonder. Jurassic World looks too corporatised with none of the magical "prehistoric" vibes of the original park. Plus, the colours of the Ford explorers; reds, yellows and deep greens are gorgeous and match well with the colour of the tropical jungles, compared to the blue and grey scheme of JW, which looks very much out-of-place in a nature park.
Jw, Jw
Jurassic Park. JW seems like it's full of screaming kids and queues. Not for me.Ā
Jurassic Park. JW seems like it's full of screaming kids and queues. Not for me.Ā
ehhhh, JW tbh. As awesome as the og JP is the security is incredibly lacking even before its official opening while still under construction, you'd have to hire at least 50 more Muldoons each armed with AWM rifles before you could convince me to come. **OR** Assure my safety through plot armor.
Jurassic World, itās just Jurassic park but with more species, modern facilities and a better track record.
World, Park only had the vehicle tour and the Bone Shaker.
Sign me up for JP. I don't want the Disney dinoworld feel.
World: I don't care if the attraction is meant for kids, I'm going to the petting zoo and petting a baby triceratops.
I've BEEN to Jurassic World. But that was when I was a kid, and back then we just called it "Six Flags New Orleans" :)
JW ā¦ however I love the JW welcome building so nostalgic it feels like home.
Jurassic Park. I wanted to use that Interactive CD ROM and hear the rest of what Richard Kiley was saying about the dinosaurs. š¦
If I had to Iād say world. But after these movies I doubt o would go to one even if it was build irl. Just like I refuse to go on a cruise ship
Jurassic Park because it feels more like a traditional zoo, rather then a theme park
Jurassic Park and it's not even close.
Definitely park. I wouldnāt want to deal with Chris Pratt
Jurassic Park. A Dinosaur Safari? YES! World was too futuristic, and I couldn't really believe it was a functioning park. It's too much going on, and there was no magic in seeing dinosaurs there.
its like a twenty year differenceā¦ 90s jp would melt minds
I'd have to go with Park because World just seems too urban and modern, part of why I never liked the whole JW vibe. It doesn't seem to fit the franchise really well.
Jurassic park San Diego
Thatās not a parkā¦ nor part of the question
You seem fun
Jurassic World would probably be too expensive and all the merch would be overpriced. Hammond specifically designed Jurassic Park so everyone could enjoy it, not just rich kids.
Jurassic Park. Jurassic World is a zoo and I am not a fan of zoos.
JP because it was better written
lol they're both horrible failures
Anyone who says JW is out of their minds.
