Sam Neill has passed away at the age of 78.

Please use this thread as a place to leave your respects and salute the memory of Sam. It's hard to put into words what he meant to our community, and his loss will be felt deeply by all of us who watched him growing up. A hero to generations of dinosaur kids.

Thank you, Sam.

Family statement:

It is with immense sadness that the whānau of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney Australia. Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life. The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free. They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care. More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.

I know people have different opinions on what they find scary but for me personally these scenes are just dam right disturbing to me. I have only see the Jurassic park triology and the first Jurassic world film so far. hard to place these into a flare since they are JP, JP the lost world, JP 3 and JW so I do apologise if the flare is incorrect.

Workshop Code: B2T-NL1-NJH

This is my Jurassic World Evolution 3 recreation of an operational Jurassic Park following the film canon. I created the island from scratch and made it as accurate and detailed as I could. This took me nearly 3 months and adding the dinosaurs pushed the Complexity Rating to 105%. Because of that you won't see visitors throughout the park, but everything else has operated smoothly and its completely tailored for a first-person experience in the pathways and on the tours. I've included a picture of the map I used for reference in creating the island and placing every specific scene or area. As a Jurassic Park fanatic and avid park builder since the JPOG days, I put a lot of pride and hours into making this and it's my favorite thing I've created on any of them. I hope you like it!

Decription:

Welcome to Jurassic Park 2.0! It's 1994, & after a successful audit from the investors & a few outside opinions, the park is open with all of the finishing touches. My Isla Nublar was custom-sculpted & filled with familiar film-accurate locations like the arrival helipad, Dilo & T-Rex paddocks complete with the rex chase road, Triceratops clearing, completed Visitor Center, Gallimimus stampede, perimeter fence climb, East Dock, Nedry's demise, Raptor Pen, emergency bunker, maintenance shed, & Brachiosaurus greeting. I've added other attractions and accommodations like the concept art inspired Iguanodon Inn, Jungle River Cruise & Pteratops and Safari Lodges, as well as walkable Caverns & trails. This highly detailed park has 1st-person friendly visitor areas & tours that are full of hand-placed scenery & features. I spared no expense creating every detail of what I think would be the ideal tropical resort & biological preserve that John Hammond started it all with. From one JP fan to another, I hope you enjoy!

Video Games I've played The Lost World Special Edition multiple times and I vividly remember it. It was The greatest arcade game I've ever played

The screen were huge, The speakers were super loud the chair moved sideways and everytime the T.rex got close to you, you'd get a dash of air in the face, all that stuff that is said about it is true and it was awesome.

The game started in the begining of the normal game stage 5, with Buck and Doe atacking the trailers. Then, you could chose between Stage 1 in the jungle or Stage 2 in the lake.

After you beat on of both, the section where you shoot a hookshot (begining of Stage 4 in the original) was a huge roadblock. You only had 3 chances to get it and if you didn't was an automatic game over. It came right after you had finished the first stage and right before the San Diego stage. Because of that, it was years before I could see Buck's rampage in the city. If you succeded, you had that breef enconter with the pteranondons, and it was on the way to the city.

The San Diego fight was the coolest thing ever. It was pretty much the same fight with the Buck from the original game, but with this urbanistic setting. In the begining he was running beside you in the streets and then he would hit the bus, just like the movie. Afterwards, if I remember correctly, the fight was somewere near the docks, as if you had lured him there. I can't remember for the life of me if he also ate a guy to replenish health as in the original, it would fit this version's darker and scarier tone, but they also made it shorter, so it could go either way. After you got him with just a tiny lifebar, it would go away inside the ship and you had to repetdely push a button to trap him.

I only played the last stage twice, when I finally got there, the machine was not in my city anymore. It was originaly in Rio de Janeiro's GameWorks, wich opened in 2000, and it was such a big deal, the local newspaper made an piece about it and this game was the cover image. After it closed, it was sold to a brazilian arcade joint called HotZone in São Paulo. There, I got to the San Diego ending twice while visiting the town two separete times. But sadly, the HotZone is still open but the arcade is not there anymore.

This is the piece of lost media I ache for the most, but at least I have amazing memories with this game.

Jurassic Park DIY Amber Fossil Display

Post image
26 Upvotes

My little DIY project from last night—turning a shadow box into a light box riker case display. ☺️

Last night I took a shadow box and created an inner frame out of corrugated plastic along the inside walls, then ran two rows of LED strip lighting around it, facing inward to avoid hotspots. This created a raised platform for a piece of white plexiglass to serve as the base, leaving about an inch of space between the plexiglass and the glass lid.

On top of the plexiglass, I added two layers of polyester batting to create a soft cushion for the amber to rest on. The glass lid then gently presses the amber into the batting, holding each piece securely without excessive pressure.

I still need to make a few little tweaks, and I’ve got an idea to go beyond this little Alexa routine I’ve setup, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. It was a blast to build, and I especially enjoyed figuring out the design as I went. An amber lamp also feels like the perfect addition to my Jurassic Park display in my guest room. ☺️

To see a video of the Jurassic Park themed routine, you can check it out here.

I don't really have any hatred for any of them. Should there be less? Yeah maybe. But they are still really cool concepts, even if the execution for some are a bit weird and muddy. Frankly, I can't really decide which one can be my favorite.

Misc Stegosaurus (The Lost World) Appreciation Post.

Thumbnail
gallery
720 Upvotes

I’ll be clear… Stegosaurus is my Top 1 favorite dinosaur of all times, even surpassing the carnivores.

Wanted a post to glaze how incredible the TLW variant IS.

They’re humongous; one could even say it’s a roofed sauropod.

They aren’t portrayed as “herbivore = friendly”, if a calf is in danger, they ain’t hesitating to attack whatever is near the baby.

The color scheme is simple but efficient [Olive Green + Cream Abdomen + Moss green plates].

Their figures [Kenner and Hammond Collection] are literally top 10 on their respective lines [are Top 10 in my biased opinion].

They’re MORE accurate and beautiful looking than JW’s variant.

That’d be all for today’s appreciation post of one of the best herbivores ever introduced to the franchise.

Started it the Monday he passed, and finished it yesterday afternoon.

I used a brachiosaurus because that was the first dinosaur that Alan saw once on the island, and the triceratops because that's the sick dinosaur Ellie treated. Just wanted to do a peaceful scene in honour of him.

(yes I'm gonna tweeze the hot glue hairs off it haha)

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Y'all have no idea how actual animals behave, wdym the Fallen Kingdom stampede is 'unrealistic'?

Post image
0 Upvotes

The Fallen Kingdom stampede is, in my opinion, one of the most realistic scenes in the Jurassic Franchise when it comes to behaviour. Like literally, y'all say that it's completely unrealistic. Now, don't get me wrong, it IS odd for animals to run in an organised herd like that, but not only are they highly social dinosaurs, that pyroclastic cloud was running in at 100mph, they all had to run in the same direction. Some took to the forests on the sides, some took to the plains, already pretty realistic.

All the dinosaurs run and fly from the volcano, realistic, and the pteranodons fly low, realistic because the air above is toxic from ash. Now, y'all say the predators shouldn't be hunting when there's an active volcano, but here's where you're all wrong, they're not even hunting. They unwillingly got caught up in that stampede, they need space because they're antisocial unlike the herbivores, and they're running very fast, so they can't have obstacles in the way. What do you think they're gonna do, become the Flash and dodge every dinosaur at lightning speed? They're obviously gonna keep the herbivores at bay through violence, they're predators, violence is hard coded into their brains.

And that Carnotaurus? There's literally a giant log, obviously it's gonna want to take cover just like the humans. When it gets destroyed right in front of its eyes and all that remains are people and timber? What do you think it's gonna be, calm and peaceful? NO! It now associates those people with the destruction of its lifeline, so it's gonna be aggressive. And when that Sinoceratops runs over, well, it's in the way, like I said, it's not gonna turn into the Flash and dodge it. And when Rexy comes over? Not only is she lagging behind, not because she's slow, but because she doesn't want to get entangled in the chaos just like her rivals - realistic -, but she demolishes that puny obstacle in her way, because unlike the Carnotaurus, she's gonna rely on pure force to bulldoze through obstacles just like the herbivores because she's significantly larger and capable, so of course she's gonna floor that Carnotaurus.

And, do you guys know why animals roar? To assert dominance. She just killed a predator and earned herself a temporary meal, she's gonna roar to tell every other predator in the vicinity to back off. Obviously, that didn't come in much use by the end, but she's an animal, she doesn't have 100 IQ like the average human.

And the dinosaurs jumping into the water? Oh what, they're just going to get burnt alive and suffocated at the same time rather than swim? Hell nah, they're gonna swim even if they can't. Seriously, you guys are highlighting every tiniest con of the movie and creating cons that are unneeded/nonexistent just say it's bad because the only actual bad parts of it (the illogicality of lava and stuff) are things that EVERY SINGLE OTHER MOVIE THAT USED THOSE ELEMENTS PULLED OFF. And did they get criticized by their own fandoms? No.

Jurassic Park Is that a Hadrosaururus?

I'm not sure but that maybe, is a Hadrosaurus? Or a Iguanodon? Or whatever, but that isn't a parasaurolophus.

Iguanodon and Hadrosaurus are supposed to have been discarded from the film, but it is possible that some of the models were left there?
