Guest interactions with dinosaurs

eddiehead · Mar 30, 2018

So I know we have a viewing platform and a gyroscope but what other guest interactions do people think would be a good shout or maybe would like implemented?

I've already mentioned a safari type deal; both the free roaming JW jeep and the track based JP jeep

Another thought I had on this would be feeding stations. I know we're not getting baby dinos so there'd be no petting zoo type deal, but maybe another platform you can put onto paddocks and guests can go up, pay for some kind of feed and then the herbivores can approach the feeding window and take food from the guests

I've done this personally with giraffes at a zoo local to me and it's such a great experience, I'd love to imagine what that'd be like feeding a parasaur, or small sauropod

Hopefully they do have a Jeep ride for tourists to venture out into the paddocks. Maybe have some sort of viewing stations for the visitors. In the demo that was just released people just seem to be wandering aimlessly. The walkways were far from the fences and no one seemed to stop and actually look at the dinos. I mean that’s why they are there right lol. Maybe have a feature where you have a carnivore feeding time that draws guests to that paddock. Just something that gives the park more of a life.

Well, my guests will certainly be feeding dinosaurs at some point...

I think it's just Gyrospheres. It's worrying we haven't seen a hint of anything else.

I was hoping for jeep Safari, river cruise and the faster paced truck tour through the Gallimimus paddock we saw in JW.

Just Gyrospheres will be so disappointing.

I am pretty sure there will be lots of guest "interaction". If that's good or bad interaction that depends on what the game does and my mood.

Since they haven't been shy taking a lot of ideas from JPOG, they should bring back all those attractions.
The ones missing are Viewing dome, Balloon tour, and Safari adventure.

One that could be adapted from Jurassic world would be a cretaceous cruise, which would work similar to the jeep adventure. It would be a nice call back to the JP Novel with Alan and the kids in a raft escaping from the dinos.

I think the feeding station idea would work well as part of an elevated walkway, similar to the "Treetops Gazers" below:
You'd be able to set the path however you like, snaking over your enclosures.

A river cruise would be absolutely perfect. Especially since you could have river cruises in Planet Coaster. IT SHOULD be a feature!

This - something like this I'm dying for. Not just in terms of feeding, but just in terms of another way of allowing guests to see the exhibits. maybe like a treetop walkway or something similar. But I love the idea of feeding trays being up there as well

The need for a first person walkthrough would be priority number one if we had elevated feeding walkways though. Feeding a dino by hand in first person would probably bring me close to tears and I'm not ashamed to admit that

I would like to be able to click on individual guests and read about their thoughts and emotions, what dinosaurs they have seen so far, how much money they have left and general satisfaction meters like JPOG had.

Instead we get these lifeless moving cardboard cutouts, really disappointed with the guests so far.

They really should be aiming to make everything that JPOG did better, but some aspects are actually less impressive.

They should put in an aviary, maybe a mossasaur show, or aquarium with prehistoric fish. Could do a petting zoo, or breeding center where guests can watch eggs hatch and see baby dinosaurs. Maybe a museum. Small dinasaur educational show, maybe with compys. Kayack tours or boat tours, heck maybe add a few basic theme park rides even a basic rollercoaster would be kind of cool. I get the feeling though alot of that kind of stuff might not make it in game.

Or just build a park with no fences for the ultimate guest experience...

Talking about guest interactions with dinosaurs, yeah...26:55, check it out.

It's too dangerous for people to directly interact with dinos. So it's either behind a fence or in the Gyrosphere.

Except feeding/riding baby dino's at the gentle giants area. But yeah pretty much only those 3 things.

You're welcome on the correction of the gyrosphere. Would never trust myself going into that thing.

Alan, Lex and Tim seemed fairly safe feeding the Brachiosaur in JP - I don't see the issue. If you can't hand feed the dinosaurs then at least have some kind of elevated walkway with feeding trays alongside it where the dinos might come to have a nibble while you walk through

Man the guests look so lifeless standing in the viewing building. You'd think they'd be a little more expressive and enthused to be seeing dinosaurs, instead they just kinda stand there and sway side to side. Also, where are the kids and families??? [knocked out]

Universal doesn't want to show kids being eaten

So no families

That reminds me of the zoo tycoon franchise. Where almost all the animals and dinos could only attack adult men.. Weird times. Though, it was fun draggin' them in the grown allosaurus cage just because they didn't like my zoo. That's what you get for giving me bad reputation. And i would get NO penalty for it.

Maybe its just me, but why can't they? That's always been a thing in games. not killing ki-. Wait.. crap i just realized how insane and murderous i sound.

I like to see guest interaction with Dinosaur too. Both normal and unusual way. [big grin]
