I wonder if frontier can add some new tyrannosaurs, like gorgosaurus, daspletosaurus, allioramus, tarbosaurus and alectrosaurus
New tyrannosaurids?

- Start date
If they add gorgasaurus you can make a full land before time exhibit
OOH!! I remember watching lbt!!!!
Oops I meant to say walking with dinosaurs
Oh, i still remember watching walking with dinosaurs and lbt! 
lol

Well - I wouldn't get my hopes up for Tarbosaurus, Gorgosaurus, or Alioramus - since T.rex, & Qianzhousaurus are already confirmed for the JWE2, and Albertosaurus is very likely. Tarbosaurus, Gorgosaurus, & Alioramus would just be another variant of what we already have. It would better to have some species which have some noticeable differences.
Some of the tyrannosaurs to be added.
Some of the tyrannosaurs to be added.
- Nanuqsaurus (dwarf polar tyrannosaurini - 6-7 meters long, possible feathered/polar skin pattern)
- Teratophoneus (possible pack hunting Utah tyrannosaur - ~8 meters)
- Appalachiosaurus/Dryptosaurus (slim skull, big handed Appalachian tyrannosaur- ~ 9 meters)
- Yutyrannus (Asian giant tyrannosauroid - ~ 9 meters).
We already have plenty of Tyrannosaurid diversity with Tyrannosaurus and Quizh- erm, Quian-... oh, screw it, Alioramus sinensis; if Albertosaurus returns, the entire family would have its diversity pretty much covered.
Dryptosaurus and Alectrosaurus are quite fragmentary animals, but would be nice as small carnivores. Yutyrannus would be also nice, an allosaur-sized Proceratosaurid is great (and Proceratosaurus making it back would be nice too.).

If we are to be realistic - I think only 4 tyrannosauroids will make it into the base game - those are T.rex, Albertosaurus, Qianzhousaurus, & Proceratosaurus.
Still I think we could likely see another Tyrannosaur or two in various DLCs for the game.
Yes - I agree that Dryptosaurus & Alectrosaurus are only known from very fragmentary remains, and likely won't be included at all.
However Appalachiosaurus is the most complete Appalachian tyrannosaur and one of the most complete Appalachian dinosaurs ever found - so if an Appalachian tyrannosaur were to make it into the game - it would most likely be Appalachiosaurus. Still the Appalachiosaurus holotype specimen is only known from about 30-40% of the skull, & jaws, most of the legs, part of the pelvis, and about 5 tail vertebra. And it is believed to have been a sub-adult specimen about 7 meters long. So a full grown adult would likely have been about 9-10 meters long.

The issue is that it is a near-Tyrannosaurid; at times was found to be an Albertosaurine; it'd be too same-y. At least Dryptosaurus has those large two-fingered hands, but, we already have 10 meter Tyrannosaurids.
Remember how weird Carcharodontosaurus looked, as the real animal is told apart from Giganotosaurus by virtue of having a smooth nose rather than a rough one.

Let's not get too crazy wanting all of the tyrannosaurids, we don't need another hadrosaur or ceratopsid situation. Also there's still plenty of other theropods to choose from.
