JPP Builds A Park (INTERACTIVE)

I agree. Let's move on now, but quick question, square mileage of the park?

I'd say from anywhere from 20 to 50 square miles, any more would be overkill. We have an unlimited budget but if we leave ourselves with limited room we'll have more fun fitting everything in.

Good. So, should we start choosing what species we clone and what pens they go in?
For example,
"Pen 01: 2 Tyrannosaurus"
Also, accurate dinosaurs or JP style? I say accurate.

Yeah, I'd like accurate dinos.

Poll #3 is now up. This'll be the last poll I'll do regarding the location for awhile because we should start talking about other aspects like the park's name and its species. But once we get a a map going, we'll be discussing the details of it pretty in-depth.

Poll #3 is closed, and we have finalized the location; a fictional location somewhere in Florida.

So here is where we should head next:
1. What will our park's name be?
2. Should the prehistoric animals in our park be accurate or to JP-like?
3. How many species should we have?

And anyone interested in making maps should give it a shot. Focus only on the general shape and geology, none of the actual park yet. Then we'll vote on the best ones and eventually make a cohesive official map.

Heres a basic map, I'll update it as we progress. And for the name I say simply, "(Insert your name here)Prehistoric Wildlife Preserve."

Did we all agree on this?

I was thinking of something on the other side of the state, as the right side is more populated and the left has the national parks and forest-y areas.

EDIT: I made this quick little thing using the website Inkarnate.

I'll use this.

1. Jurassic Park; it's a classic, unique, iconic and timeless identity and when looking at its symbolism, it's very clever.
2. Accurate animals please, although should we keep Dilophosaurus as a natural venomous dinosaur?
3. Excluding plant life, I think around 150-200 species of animals would be good for the park.

That's a lot. Were talking about a space only the size of Isla Sorna. So how about 2 times the amount of species that Sorna had, so about 72?

I should have mentioned that the number of species that I was thinking of does incorporate a large variety of Mesozoic animals, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, crocodiles, amphibians etc.

But when thinking about it, 200 species of animals is too much for 50 square miles; I'll compromise to around 100-150 species, so the park is just around large enough to warrant more than one visit to the park just in case visitors missed some of the animals and to revisit the favourites.

125 works.

That seems like too much to me. I thought 100 would be the maximum. But that might be something we'd have to vote on.

No, 100 works.

Alrighty, 100 species. Which ones should we have first?

Herbivores:
*Tricerotops
      *Spiclypeus
      *Microceratus
     *Einiosaurus
*Parasaurolophus
      *Iguanodon
      *Edmontosaurus
      *Corythosaurus
*Euoplocephalus
      *Ankylosaurus
      *Minmi
     *Edmontonia
*Ornithimimus
      *Gallimimus
      *Pelicanimimus
*Stegosaurus
      *Toujiangosaurus
      *Wuerhosaurus
*Titanosaurus
      *Mamenchisaurus
      *Amargosaurus
*Theriznosaurus
*Pachycephalosaurus (wyomingensis)
      *Stygimoloch
*Dryosaurus
That's my pitch in the species list.

We could split it up: 25 dinosaurs (counts Pterosaurs), 25 mammals, 25 aquatic animals, and 25 of anything else including prehistoric birds, reptiles, and insects.

I say 50 dinosaurs, 25 aquatic, 12 pterosaurs, and 12 others. Should we assign  categories to everyone participating (like 3 people)? I call the Aquatics! Whoever takes dinosaurs, can you shoehorn Baryonyx and Suchomimus? I need them for an attraction idea.

I call the dinosaurs! I'll see what I can do for Sucho and Bary

Here's my Dinosaur list

Small Herbivores
*Ornithomimus
*Gallimimus
*Pachycephalosaurus
*Dryosaurus
*Kentrosaurus
*Styracosaurus
*Homalocephale
*Hypsilophodon
*Protoceratops
*Heterodontosaurus
*Lesothosaurus
*Miragaia
*Draconyx
*Psittacosaurus

Large Herbivores
*Ankylosaurus
*Stegosaurus
*Apatosaurus
*Diplodocus
*Camarasaurus
*Brachiosaurus
*Parasaurolophus
*Edmontosaurus
*Corythosaurus
*Iguanodon
*Torosaurus
*Triceratops
*Therizinosaurus
*Mamenchisaurus
*Deinocheirus
*Plateosaurus

Small Carnivores
*Velociraptor
*Dilophosaurus
*Albertosaurus
*Gorgosaurus
*Guanlong
*Microraptor
*Archaeopteryx
*Dakotaraptor
*Carnotaurus
*Ceratosaurus
*Oviraptor
*Troodon
*Concavenator

Large Carnivores
*Tyrannosaurus Rex
*Tarbosaurus
*Suchomimus
*Baryonyx
*Mapusaurus
*Allosaurus
*Carcharodontosaurus
*Torvosaurus
*Spinosaurus
*Gigantoraptor
*Acrocanthosaurus
*Yutyrannus
*Cryolophosaurus

Shore animals:
*Hesperornis
*Deinosuchus
*Metryorhynchus
*Prionosuchus
*Helicoprion
*Stethacanthus
*Styxosaurus
*Tanystropheus
*Kronosaurus
*Phesmoderma
*Icthyosaurus
*Nothosaurus
Ammonites were not added, considering we could just have modern Nautilus and show people the difference between the two. Also, containing Helicoprion may be a tad far-fetched Depending if we go for an artificial lake like Jurassic World, or aquariums. (Large predatory sharks like Great whites cannot survive in captivity.)
Also, Can I take the Pterosaurs category?

I don't agree with the idea of giving it off to one person. I think everyone is going to want their own opinion on what dinosaurs they want and it's those are things I think we definitely need to vote on.

I also think 12 Pterosaurs is waaay too much. They're all very similar animals so if we want to go for variety, at least half of those species could go to more interesting prehistoric animals.

Then we'll give gojira2014 6 more slots. (Look for something bizzare!)
And you're supposed to put your own opinions into the list. I just haven't seen many issues with other lists, Except that maybe Carcharodontosaurus and Gigonotosaurus are too similar to eachother.

*Quetzocoatlus
*Tapejara
*Dimorphodon
*Pteranodon
*Nyctosaurus
*Pterodaustro
I tried to fit as many bizzare pterosaurs as possible, I think it works.

Oi, Cryolophosaurus pls. I love those things. xP

What do you think? Too tropical?

6 New Dinosaurs
*Psittacosaurus
*Cryolophosaurus
*Concavenator
*Deinocheirus
*Plateosaurus
*Mamenchisaurus

Note: Changed Giganotosaurus to Mapusaurus

Is there a section that I could do?

Are we still good on 50 dinosaurs? I will be attempting to create a survey to determine which dinosaurs we want, combining the suggestions posted as well as my own. Any last minute suggestions? (this is only for the dinosaurs. Pterosaurs, mammals, aquatic animals, etc will be done later).
