Can we also get the more accurate version to choose? The big one.
The more "accurate" Dilophosaurus

There was also the web animated comic project from a while back that was done. There was a lot of implications that the Dilophosaurs shown in the movie were extremely young. The Dilphosaurus being one of, if not the, last of the main dinosaurs developed that were in the park would fit rather well...perhaps the Herrerasaurus being around the same time (If one doesn't count the Troodons)
The Dilophosaurus hologram in Jurassic World strongly suggests that adults in the film universe are closer to real life size. Plus, they're shown as closer to real life size on an RV screensaver in The Lost World (https://jurassicpark.fandom.com/wik..._m61tddFz3S1rsiohpo1_1280.jpg#cite_note-TLW-8), and Stan Winston himself (RIP) confirmed that the one in Jurassic Park is a juvenile ( Source: https://www.facebook.com/behindthegatesofficial/videos/2476983862520875/
). The ones in Camp Cretaceous also appear closer to real life size, though not quite.
In any case, since Dilophosaurus is confirmed to be in Dominion, hopefully, we'll see an adult there. Regardless, Frontier can always add in a close relative like Sinosaurus, Dracovenator, or Zupaysaurus.
I don't think we will ever get an accurate Dilo. But, Frontier can add a dinosaur that looks very similar to the Dilo, bringing in a more scientifically accurate representation of that animal to the game. Some that come to mind are,
Dilophosauridae Family
The Dilophosaurus hologram was clearly shorter than a Jurassic raptor... not sure how that makes it closer to an adult size...
Cryolopho-, Monolopho-, and Sinosaurus are not closely related to Dilophosaurus though. They're more a case of convergent evolution.
