What would be the purpose?
This might be true, but it's still speculation. And in the original story line, there are no viewing galleries. Plain and simple. So I don't see any point in adding them, when the experience is based around the tour trucks.
Totally agree paths should have a viewing range, even if it's a small range, although considering how the current path system works I'm not sure how/if it would work...
The Jungle Cruise would be AMAZING! Like with the path system, I'm not sure how/if the game's terrain system could handle it in its current state, but we did get the Fish Feeders which are exclusively placeable in water, so maybe it could be done! It would be really cool if the Jungle Cruise was available in both Eras! In Jurassic Park Era it could maybe be based on the Jurassic Park: The Ride/Jurassic Park River Adventure attraction ride vehicles, whereas the Jurassic World Era version could be based on either the Jurassic World: The Ride ride vehicles or the Cretaceous Cruise attraction from Jurassic World itself! It would definitely warrant being attached to a future DLC Expansion though.

Why are you keep saying that the park is only based around the tour vehicles? That was just an early stage of the park where Hammond was trying to get feedbacks from the first visitors. The fully operational park would've had much more attractions and that is evident from the dining room scene.
Here is a screengrab from the movie, which shows multiple attractions.
And what attractions do you see in this photo, besides the boat tour?
It's still a DLC build around the first movie, and that was indeed a safari tour.

Something. But this isn't about exactlly same attraction, this is about why isn't reason restrict posibility have one simple viewing gallerie.
Actually, Frontier have one right now - viewing tower on Raptor holding pen - with watching person "animations". It will be great add posibility somehow connect this pen with current path system, maybe through modificated Park tour building and connectin both imaginary tunnel (in game reality gyro path, for example).
You maybe don't see reason why something like this add to the game, but lots of another people see.

The artwork for those three attractions are as follows:
1. The Jungle River Cruise
2. This particular attraction is a bit of a mystery, but the common consensus is that it’s the Aviary Lodge.
3. The Raptor Pen, interestingly this was an early piece of concept art for the aforementioned building. Perhaps this is what the pen would have been like had the park completed, or it was just an alternative design.
I thought they were guards in the pen tower...
Exactly. These have all been mentioned. These would be cool additions. But I don't see how they relate to viewing galleries.
The River Cruise is well known and present in the book. We already have the raptor pen and the aviary lodge would work like an hotel of some sorts I suppose.

I understand that you want the game to be as close as possible to the original movie, but you have to also consider the replayability of the game.
People are asking for viewing galleries, because:
1. Limited gameplay - Everyone loves the ford vehicle tour, but having it as the only option to see the dinosaurs, greatly limits players' creative freedom and gameplay for designing the park. There aren’t enough options for buildings and attractions to choose from to make a park feel like your own.
2. River cruise won't be added - All the cool attractions that were mentioned, like the river cruise, won't be implemented in RTJP because they require a lot of work. If they are added, they will most likely be included in a separate DLC.
3. Adding viewing galleries is easy - The viewing galleries already exist in the base game. They just need to reskin it to JP style. The concept art for raptor pen looks like a viewing gallery, so I don't see any problem with adding it in the game.
Why do I have to consider replayability. I don't play games alot and when I'm done I move on. I don't have time to play the same game over and over. So I don't care about that at all.
And I don't think I would ever replay a game again, because I liked the viewing galleries.And I think limits birth creativity. If you have limited resources you actually have to be creative. If you have numerous opportunities and can just pick whatever you like, there's no creativity. There's freedom to create, yes, but those are not the same things... The more limited, the more creative you have to be. I think we have more than enough to make unique parks. It's just how you use the tools and map out your parks.
We have no idea if the River Cruise will be added. We didn't think we would get the aviary and Compy's either. They can use the exact same layout as the safari tour, you just place it in water and they replace the truck with a boat.
Yes the viewing galleries are there, because they are JW canon. Not JP. And because the raptor pen looks like a viewing gallery to you, they should be added? I think they look like a small paddock.
Just adding my two cents here as well. Just got round to playing sandbox JP era and unless I have the tour I have 0% dinosaur visibility even though pathways are right next to fences etc and it's very frustrating, I agree with OPs points of JP era attractions or even just windows / platforms that allow you to see the dinosaurs. JPOG had them, no reason they can't be integrated here as well. Really hope these sort of changes happen!
Like...I’m not even saying the expansion is bad. If it was I wouldn’t be streaming it several hours a week. This expansion is so close to being better than the main game entirely but, it’s literally just missing those two buildings.Just adding my two cents here as well.

While that could make sense in some ways, at the same time, it doesn't hurt to have viewing areas plus there's plenty of ways I can pick apart the update that would make the "just play Jurassic World theme instead" argument not work.
If we have to pay extra to get the viewing areas, there shouldn't be an issue considering all the paid DLC has been worth it up to this point.
I (and probably a good chunk of the owners of the game) probably agree with this notion.
All the paid DLCs do is improve the game with more content so if we could get viewing galleries for the JP theme, then who's to say we aren't willing to pay for even more quality of life and JP related material?
They still stated, that this DLC would be as close to the original movie as possible. And that just doesn't include viewing galleries. They are not in the book either.
I mean...we can pick apart the authenticity factor in plenty of ways but, whenever I hear that I just think back to how they flexed about how accurate the Visitor Center was and then this happened in the game.
Also, yeah, authenticity is cool and now we have it. No one was questioning that.
The issue is gameplay-wise, additions and improvements can still be made.
The bungalow and the shops never appeared in the movie and yet there they are.
The same goes for the fancy helipad.
They exist for gameplay reasons and that's why people want viewing gallery/platforms (not for story mode but, as an addition for outside of story mode).

The visitor center is still like the movie. The guests just doesn't enter through the front door. Still the exact same building...
The bungalow is a main part of the book and is mentioned and visited throughout. I even believe it's mentioned in the movie as well. Or seen in the pics at the visitors center. Not sure. But it's def a huge part of the storyline. In the movie you also see the small shop with numerous amounts of merchandise, so that makes total sense as well.
You just never see or hear about any viewing galleries. It's a safari tour. I really don't understand the fuzz about this...
It would be nice if the helipad from the film was on the map and then there was that v shaped valley on the way through the herbivore enclosure, also I'd rather have something simular to JPOG than RTJP, I hate that the only viewing attraction has no paths to it and it is virtually indestructable, if they made it so guests would bail out if the tour car would get destroyed
