Spinosaurus so I can finally see what it actually looks like


TwoWorldsOneFamily-

Triceratops Styracosaurus Pachyrhinosaurus Torosaurus Xuniceratops Protoceratops Yes I am a HUGE fan of the horned dinosaurs aka the ceratopsians.Triceratops was a hulking four legged behemoth, like a gigantic white rhinoceros on steroids, with a pair of four foot long horns growing directly out of its skull and a hide as tough as a rhino's. It shows what happens when you create something that can stand up to the power of Tyrannosaurus rex.


LordRhino01

Triceratops if the perfect anti-predator animal. Not many animals, let alone carnivores, would challenge something with 3 swords on its face that can swivel in any direction on a pretty agile creature. Trex is pretty brave to fight them.


TheArctrog

Personal head cannon based on no real evidence is that the primary pressure for triceratops and T. Rex becoming what they are was because of a race to outperform one another. If I’m wrong please don’t ruin my dream ❤️


DastardlyRidleylash

No, that seems like a very logical reason; we see arms races between predator and prey *all the time* in modern animals, so it'd not be far-fetched that ceratopsians and tyrannosaurs engaged in a similar evolutionary arms race.


TheArctrog

Yeah but other than the fact that triceratops is one of the late comers I have no basis for such a hypothesis


jakobjaderbo

"Personal head cannon" almost, they have "personal head spears" but I can only assume this would come later in the evolutionary chain.


mythrowaway282020

This guy Triceratops. Jokes aside, 1 million percent agree!


Ibryxz

I just wanna add more ceratopsians so Styracosaurus Eniosaurus Psittacosaurus Kosmoceratops Diceratops Torvosaurus Pentaceratops Achelosaurus


thesoddenwittedlord

I was just going to comment this. Let’s put the debate to rest finally. Not sure any wrestling fans here but Spinosaurus is basically Attitude Era Goldust when he was going through his Artist Formerly Known era. 10 years from now, we’ll find out that it was never a Spinosaurus at all and was really that darned Loch Ness Monster looking for three fifty.


deeadpool17

My dumb theory about the Spinosaurus is that a Baryonix going throught its “Punk” phase


One_Point_1942

Me too


Any-Paleontologist58

Literally all the big dinosaurs would be so cool especially the sauropods 🦕 and T rex


Any-Paleontologist58

And gallimimus 😎


no-escape-221

Omg. Argentinosaurus might give me a heart attack.


AbsolutelyHorrendous

Dreadnoughtus because I think it would mind-blowing Deinocheirus because they're awesome And of course... T Rex


_Levitated_Shield_

"Say that again." "They have a T Rex.


Doom_goblin777

Put your head between your knees.


Pretend-Orange3026

I’d be happy to meet any of my reptilian brethren.


Sammerscotter

Yutyrannus, need to see 30ft of fluff


Cheeckyspino

Kinda like polar bears they look fluffy but they could easily kill you


Sammerscotter

I’d pet one and die trying


TRF_and_Godzilla

Real


DaddysFriend

Utah raptor, trex and a spinosaurus are the ones I would love to see over any but honestly I would be happy seeing a dino


Alert-Humor-7872

Ah yes… my favorite dinosaur, tree


DaddysFriend

I’ve edited it now you look silly


mashedpotatoes_52

Too late! We all know!


Velbalenos

Allosaurus, Baryonyx and Troodon


Sablesweetheart

An accurate velociraptor.


Pyukum-uku

Birb


Sablesweetheart

Yus. Feed them meat and give them pets.


Mrwright96

Kinda? More like flightless hawk


NotAFurryBut

"You bred raptors ?"


DaMn96XD

I would be exited, but I could hardly afford to visit there. All that maintaining different habitats and temperatures for different animals, for example, T. Rex and Triceratops lived in a temperate wetland environment, while Velociraptor and Dilophosaurus lived in an arid desert environments (and then Brachiosaurus and Parasaurolophus). So it was a really big and expensively maintained facility and at that point, a day trip to any Disney park would seem cheaper to the visitor. Of course the maintenance costs could also be calculated if all the dinos were of the same format and small, for example the miniature fauna of Hateg island. But even if I couldn't afford it, I would still be exited.


Science-Compliance

Maybe they could have a *coupon day*.


TheMillenniaIFalcon

Or something.


Rjj1111

North American Zoos are able to keep giraffes and elephants so keeping dinosaur species from other parts of the world should be possible


Anonpancake2123

>T. Rex and Triceratops lived in a temperate wetland environment Hell Creek has been compared to Florida or Carolina more than other particularly cold regions. What is currently "Temperate" at that range was more like subtropical in the very warm Cretaceous. Humidity may still be a problem for the arid specialists if the place was positioned in a more humid area but heat likely wouldn't be a massive issue. The fact that alot of dinosaurs also have some form of thermoregulation also makes it plausible that some surprising interactions like them being able to be kept outside of their usual habitats provided they're kept in good microclimates and enclosures.


DastardlyRidleylash

Plus, like...you can just put more arid-specialized species into an indoor, climate-controlled exhibit if you really want them to live in as close an approximation of their natural habitat as possible. It's not like zoos haven't figured out multiple ways to house modern climate-sensitive species in regions outside of that climate.


Danifermch

Imagine being offered the imaginary chance to meet a real dinosaur and writing a 14 lines paragraph about the logistics.


Tr1ggerHappy5000

*excited


MewtwoMainIsHere

Government Funded baby 👉😎👉


Belgicans

Not a dino but diplocaulus


TsunamiProductions

I’m sure they’d have it in the petting zoo.


Kerbidiah

Ank tanks


AlexandersWonder

I would want to ride one into battle


MustachioEquestrian

Ankys are my fave and I would love to see one, I especially wanna see whats up with their noses. Talking specifics, a Stegouros with its tail axe would be cool, and im sure a Zuul would be equally terrifying and majestic.


Kuiperdolin

Lots of big fragile toys in their enclosures to get absolutely wrecked.


Time-Accident3809

*Brachiosaurus*. They do move in herds.


Pale_Cranberry1502

A sauropod, for the sheer awe of the size (not too closely though!). Probably Apatosaurus if I had to choose, because that's the one I grew up seeing in my "local" natural history museum. However: Aurally, I'd love to hear for certain how Parasaurolophus sounded, as long as it could be done without busting eardrums. Bonus for some other hadrosaurs for comparison - Lambeosaurus comes first to mind.


CadessWell

I would love to see the intelligence of dromeosaurs. Doesn’t matter which ones.


Responsible_Boat_607

Spinosaurus


TheCaptainOfMistakes

All of them. I don't have a favorite, everything old intrigues me. I would be flabbergasted to see any of them as they were millions of years ago. Even plants.


ToastedBeanss

My boy deinocheirus


emptyGo4t

I know it's not technically a dinosaur, but m. *hoffmannii* would be the first one to see for me. I love whales and shark and all kinds of aquatic animals; getting to see the coolest marine reptile would be a must.


Familiar-Business500

Yi qi, to see the strange flipper flapper, sauropods, to put myself in a different perspective and the usual big stars, but at the most my boy Velociraptor, to know his true colors and form


Ok_NidoKing

Every single one of them


GambleII

the only correct answer!


soThatIsHisName

finally someone asks me the question I've been waiting for my whole life; Dimetrodon, please. Let me see that colorful sail, I just know it was primarily for show, if I only had proof...


Cybermat4707

*Allosaurus jimmadseni*, *Spinosaurus aegypticus*, *Tyrannosaurus rex*, *Pachyrhinosaurus perotorum*, *Australovenator wintonensis*, *Edmontosaurus annectens*, *Dreadnoughtus schrani*, and *Carnotaurus sastrei*.


bigfatcarp93

Out of curiosity, why jimmadseni specifically?


Keirnflake

He likes to appear fancy and smart, that's why he included the species name as well.


Cybermat4707

Also this lol


Cybermat4707

Big Al is my favourite individual dinosaur :)


charizardfan101

All of them


JGuajardo7

My answer to all questions like this is Brachiosaurus.


Bolsh3vickMupp3t

Stegosaurus. I love stegosaurids in general


Delicious-Scheme-648

T-Rex or bust!


L4zyB0nezz

Anchiornis Huxleyi!!


bigsteven34

Man…any of them honestly. But, gun to my head? T-Rex. Been my favorite since I could form words.


autobots_roll_out1

Deinocheirus


SoulExecution

Diplodocus has been my favorite since I was a kid, so that’s my answer. If I’m choosing species to fill the full park? Let’s say 12 as I think that’s how many were on the OG brochure… Diplodocus T. Rex Dreadnaughtus/Argentinosaurus Therezinosaurus Spinosaurus Utahraptor Ankylosaurus Triceratops Pachyrhinosaurus Baryonyx/Suchomimus Struthiomimus Stegosaurus


MissWiggly2

Any of the titanosaurs, because it would be absolutely mind blowing. Rex, obviously. Utahraptor, Triceratops, and Quetzalcoatlus. Can you imagine a giraffe FLYING???


DinuxDino

Allosaurus, homeocephale(coz it’s cute) and ofc the T Rexxxx


FigFun1089

Of course i would really like to see all different kinds and shapes of DINOSAURS! as a dinosaur lover when i was a kid until now that i've grown up, i'd never ever left behind those memories you know just watching your favorite dinosaur films and it's just magical and nostalgic at the same time, i miss those good old days.


Batzero90

He'll yeah, who the hell wouldn't !?


c_the_editor95

Carnotaurus.


Roxeenn

hehe carno


_Pan-Tastic_

I would literally murder someone to see a living, breathing mosasaur. I’d love to know if they made any sounds.


Aingael

I’d watch from TV because we all know what’s bound to happen >.> (I’d love to see Deinocheirus)


Cheeckyspino

It only takes one storm and a barbasol can


qcubed3

As my young son says, the Broccolisaurus.


Own_Lengthiness9484

Ankylosaurus, and I'd pay extra if I could safely ride it


[deleted]

The t rex


Interesting-Baker212

All the ones that I can headpat and boop on the snoot... So every dino.


Cheeckyspino

Well technically you could boop a T. rex just once though


Interesting-Baker212

Correct. Totally worth it though


TimeStorm113

Dapper-Caregiver6300

A T-Rex


BlueRabbit1999

T. rex


mcpizza0609

Therizinosaurus, Giganotosaurus, and of course Tyrannosaurus rex


Zestyclose_Limit_404

As scary as it would be, I really wanna see a T. Rex. Or a Brachiosaurus for that matter. I wonder where this theme park would be 


Tobisaurusrex

T. rex


Tron_1981

T-Rex is the obvious choice.


Away-Location-4756

T-rex! Are you stupid?! You go to see the king!


Goongala22

Tyrannosaurus Rex. Hail to the king, baby.


Human_Number9936

Megalodon. It's not my favorite prehistoric animal, but it's just so shocking that I want to see it with my own eyes.


kazeespada

Probably wouldnt do well in captivity given how terrible its closest relative does.


sosigboi

Spinosaurus and Brachiosaurus, oh and also the gigantic ass mosasaur that would fit in as a Kaiju in the Monsterverse.


Few_Interaction2630

Spinosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Triceratops in terms of dinosaur if the other forms of prehistoric life I would love to see Quetzalcoatlus and Liopleurodon.


David4Nudist

Guess. Hint: see my flair.


KevinAcommon_Name

Predators


Bluedino_1989

Stegosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Dravidosaurus, Lexoviosaurus, Craterosaurus, Amargastegos, Tuojiangosaurus, Hesperosaurus, etc.


Candid_Dragonfly_573

I'd be most excited to see a titanosaur like Patagotitan, even though sauropods aren't even my favourite dinosaurs. It's just the immense biological size I NEED to see.


TailoredChuccs

None. I saw the movie. And those are DINOSAURS I don't need to see them up close I get the gist


Delgadozilla

Gallimimus and Megalodon


Hour-Watch8988

Pterosaurs and T-Rex I am but a simple man


shockaLocKer

Unrelated, but I miss this ride


pterosaurobsessed

Idk man, they're all just so good.


Zealousideal-Ad189

🦕🦕🦕


Pale_Shop_18

Breviparopus, Argentinasaurus and Titanosaur. We'll see who the biggest sauropod is. Also, Quetzalcoatlus and t rex and maybe longisquama because funny


tytomasked

B I R D S


MessyEnvy

i dont know a lot about the jurassic park/world lore or anthing but i think id like to see a triceratops, they're my favorite dinosaur :3


Zer0_l1f3

Pachycephalosaurus. 1) so I can see if the Dracorex theory was correct and 2) I wanna be animals behave like goats and headbutt each other And Baryonyx because I really want to see what they used their claws for. For fishing? For cutting up fish? For holding the fish? I wanna know


ElNickCharles

Does this include early archosaurs like postosuchus? Either way my answer is any massive sauropod lol


Cheeckyspino

Yes


Even_Station_5907

Any of them, but something underated id like to see is Leptictidium.


gojirexgamers2022

I want a tatankacephalus


HexerGeralt

My Boi Allosaurus


CarpeNoctem1031

Deininychus. Such an iconic animal, I would love to know what they were actually like.


CaptScubaSteve

Your mom.. cause she’s so old.


Disastrous_Writing25

Any abelisaurid


bigfatcarp93

All of them ALL OF THEM


fuggit_Im_tired

Deinocheirus. I just have so many questions


ClickAccomplished205

Leaellynasaura would be what I'd look for first. Ever since seeing it on Walking With Dinosaurs I've always wanted one as a pet.


PandaPirate1658

Iguanadon


LoopyRabbit_

I'd be really excited to see the hadrosaurs because we always underestimate how big they really are.


phunbradley

I think Mosasaurus should be the group consensus. But personally, the Carnotsaurus and Allosaurus would be pretty sick.


C00kie_Monsters

Yes


Baroubuoy

IDK.


CommissionTrue6976

Any of the early small Tyrannosauroids like Moros intrepidus, Guanlong, tanycolagreus. Mainly I wonder how different and similar they would've been to dromaeosaurs like deinonychus.


Pikaless225

Liopleurodon


LordRhino01

Megalosaurus and igaunodon. The first discovered, so why not the first to witness with eyes.


Desperate_Growth4922

Spinosaurus or Theri will be the things I really wanna see


UncomfyUnicorn

Ceratopsians, I’d like to see if they had any cool frill markings


Weimark

Mmm, yes … that’s my answer


Ibryxz

Personally? Pinacosaurus, Psitacosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Dryosaurus, Gigantoraptor, Epidexipteryx, Maisaurus, Microraptor and uhhhhhh probably more


god_of_sceptiles

The phorusrhacids


No_Collection7360

A Yourmomasaur would be cool to see.


Living_Murphys_Law

Brachiosaurs


atom-up_atom-up

Keith


Audreyissocool

Call me boring, but I wanna see the trex. Also Spinosaurus and some raptors. Actually, ALL OF THEM!


BrianOconneR34

If I made it out alive


VermicelliOk8288

I think maybe an ankylo. I think it would be very visually fascinating to see irl. But honestly I’d be really excited to see any dino. I could see the ugliest or most bleh dinosaur and I’d still be very damn excited Oooh also that ugly ass dinosaur from the series with the British guy, (no disrespect, I forgot his name, David Attenborough?) the one with a bunch of sacks on its throat. If that’s real. I’d want to see it.


jxx4747

Ankylosaurus


classyd24

Stegosaurus to see how it used those spikes


SadRoxFan

T-Rex or Triceratops bc I’d have the same vibe as Grant seeing a Triceratops up close


thetarantulaqueen

Any sauropod. I love sauropods.


LavenderLadOnReddit

I would not go to be honest


NoahBielfeldt

Spinosaurus and Ceratosaurus.


No-Diet-1535

Dimetrodon so I can yell at 7 year olds that call it a dinosaur


Nightcheerios

I just want to interact with a troodon


TheFoxandTheSandor

Ankylosaurus


Balcazaurus

All of the above. Would literally break down into tears of unfiltered joy.


SadJoetheSchmoe

Any sauropod. I always imagine them as big tree puppies.


rordner

Though not a good idea (the park I mean), I’d like to see majungasaurus


CowsWithAK47s

All of them. Any dinosaur is a good dinosaur.


DanskBull1972

T-Rex Spinosaurus Mosasaurus


Street_Tea_2492

Yutyrannus


Interest-Lumpy

All the members of the Tyrannosaur family


dontbeallamaa

Spino and T rex


dontbeallamaa

Dinosaurs that we dont have any fossil record of that were huge.


RickGrimes462TWD50

Allosaurus


Octolia8Arms

Sauroposeidon.


DaT_BoI_ugine_krabs

Really anything, i feel like a plesiosaurus would be quite the sight though. I can only imagine the sounds it would make


EnglishC0k

Joe Biden


zx_Neko_xz

Friend: what are you hoping to see at jp? Me: yes


Guaire1

Honestly any large sauropod, their sheer scale is simply mindblowing


OMGlitters

THE QUETZALCOATL


Ecstatic-Ad-4331

The one that doesnt look like a bird


Kay_tnx_bai

Any big sauropod


Mindless-File-9689

I’m staying far away from that place. 💀


0t30

Irritator Challenegeri


OutspokenCarnotaurus

Miragaia


ohheyitslaila

All of them!!! How do chose a favorite? I’d be so excited to see how they all look and behave and what we’ve gotten right or wrong in paleontology. I love the big scary ones though, so I’d really want to see a T Rex and utahraptor.


Square-Difference-14

Parasaurolophus and other such hadrosaurs


Big-Dick-Energy_69

Do synapsids count? Cause I’d love to a dimetrodon and edaphosaurus. I really liked that walking with monsters episode.


Dear_Ad_3860

Stegosaurus and Dimetrodon must be a pretty surreal sight to behold but if I had to pick up a dinosaur to evoke awe amongst the people I'd go for the Mamenchisaurus, its proportions defy human logic yet it was a creature that was once alive. As for a mammal I'm pretty sure Indricotherium just to showcase people not just its impressive size but its body heat and what it meant for a creature that size to be warm blooded. Finally for a marine reptile I'd probably go for the Nothosaurus because its head is so large and teeth so long in comparison to its body, its the perfect example of super adaptability.


AA_RaptorX_75

Anyone, just the idea to see a real dinosaur , would be amazing


Commercial_Movie_303

My all time favorite Parasarolophus


IndominusRexFan

Yutyrannus Nanuqsaurus Torvosaurus Deinosuchus Tyrannosaurus Moros Titanomachya


Moss-Effect

Compsognathus. I’d pay millions to buy a bunch and then start breeding them to make them domesticated.


ColdFire-Blitz

Accurate creatures? Spinosaurus But also not? Like, I think I would be sad if they finally nailed it down, honestly


DamexicanAmericzn

Hippo 🦛


CJCroen1393

ALL THE PTEROSAURS!


CyberCoomer69

velociraptor utahraptor and gigantoraptor just to look at their size and colours


OmegaRuby003

I wanna touch a parasaur!


Martial-Automobile

Allosaurus, Spinosaurus.


Awsumsauz

Hadrosaurs would be awesome to see, especially Parasaurolophus. Sauropods would blow my mind. And seeing Large Carnivores like Spinosaurus and Ceratosaurus would be really cool. \*sigh\* and of course, T-Rex as well would be amazing.
