It would be really neat, given its connection with dinosaurs, if one of the JWE3 challenge maps was based on Crystal Palace Park in London.
Crystal Palace Park in London is famous for its collection of prehistoric creature sculptures, which were among the first attempts to model life-size prehistoric animals based on fossil evidence.
Here's a full list of the prehistoric creatures on display, which the player could be tasked with providing for the park:
Dinosaurs and Reptiles:
1. Iguanodon
2. Megalosaurus
3. Hylaeosaurus (new to JWE)
- one of the first ankylosaurs discovered.
4. Ichthyosaurus
5. Plesiosaurus
6. Teleosaurus (new to JWE)
- A crocodile-like marine reptile.
7. Mosasaurus
8. Pterodactylus (new to JWE)
- Flying reptile
Mammals and Other Creatures (all new to JWE):
9. Dicynodonts
- Mammal-like reptiles, represented as large, tusked herbivores.
10. Labyrinthodonts
- Early amphibians, depicted as large, crocodile-like creatures.
11. Anoplotherium
- An extinct herbivorous mammal, displayed as a deer-like animal.
12. Megatherium
- A giant ground sloth, represented as a large, bulky mammal.
13. Palaeotherium
- An early relative of horses, depicted as a tapir-like creature.
14. Megaloceros
- An extinct giant deer, often referred to as the "Irish elk."
Specific challenges and features of building in Crystal Palace Park could include:

Specific challenges and features of building in Crystal Palace Park could include:
- The challenge of providing the park with all of its originally displayed prehistoric creatures in the flesh
- Limited space, making decisions as to whether to upgrade, move, or remove existing park facilities (which include the ruins of the crystal palace, a stadium, gymnasium, swimming pool, skate park, RC circuit, children's farm, and more!)
- Removing existing park facilities without providing adequate dinosaur/creature visibility in return could cause guest unrest
- The possibility/need to buy out residential areas close to the park to expand the park
- The possibility/need to upgrade transport links around the park such as the bus terminal and the train station
- If escaped dinosaurs escape the grounds of the park onto public roads and areas outside the park, they risk being shot dead by the London Metropolitan Police, if they cause a danger to life.
- London skyline will be visible, weather will be mostly unexciting but at least mostly calm.
- The communication towers that mark out crystal palace park will be a feature in the map
