Assuming there was no book or movie

All you saw was the commercials that invite you to a park with real Dinosaurs

Would you go. Does your decision change if kids were involved

 
I can't imagine being a parent that was going to go see live dinosaurs but leaving the kids at home. Why don't you stop at Disney without them too while at it. I'm sure they'll love you for it.

 
I've been to a zoo with lions, tigers, and bears, as well as hippos, Komodo dragons, elephants, buffalo, crocodiles, rhinos, and plenty of venomous snakes.

I don't really see why dinosaurs should be expected to be much more dangerous than that, other than the mystique that goes along with being long extinct.

 
As long as they ensure me that they are not splicing their DNA with frog DNA, I don't see what could possibly go wrong.

 
As long as Newman and Samuel L Jackson are there as well.

Best case scenario I get to hang out with Newman. Worst case, I make sure Samuel L Jackson doesn't make it out.

 
Of course, and if I had kids, I'd bring them along as well...like others said, no reason to think it wouldn't be as safe as the zoo.

I probably wouldn't volunteer to be the first one there though, movies or not, I'd want to let them get the kinks worked out first.

 
Hell yes I'd go to Jurassic Park.

But I would not go to a Christmas party at Nakatomi Plaza.

T Rex eats bears for an appetizer...just sayin.

 
I certainly wouldn't be in the inaugural guinea pig group, but a few months in I'd be all about it.

If I had kids, I'd take them.

 
I'm not rich so I'd have to wait for their coupon day.

I'd hate to lose my wife or kids if I took them. I think I'd have to give them a bad Yelp rating.

 
A better question is, how much would you pay?

I'd probably fork out some serious coin for a Jurassic World type experience as depicted in the most recent trailers.(minus the eating/attacking humans part)

I'm never the first to any big attraction.

We'd go for sure. But probably not the first year.

Sure. I'd bring kids and let 'em carry Slim Jims as snacks around the park. I'd bring a naggy wife, too, and hide beef jerky in her purse.

"I wasn't going to eat those kids but then I smelled those Slim Jims and...well, what's a dinosaur to do?"

 
So weird. I showed my son this movie for the first time last night. He wants to buy all the Jurrasic World Lego sets and video game.

For some reason my brothers and I quoted the coupon day line any time we wanted something but couldn't afford it, ever since the movie came out

$5 off the price of admission if you bring a non-perishable food item for the homeless.

And if there are not enough items to feed the homeless, well...let's just say you don't want to be the homeless guys at the end of the line.

You just know there's going to be some dumb bunny who will dangle their kids over a dino pit like this Mensa candidate.

Steven did not want the kiddies to #### their pants.
Steven is a dinosaur lover. You can tell because he gives them plenty of open space to run around in. Looks like the new movie is about Organic Dino vs. GMO Dino.

I think the size of the T-rex and the fact that it hasn't had a chance to develop a fear of humans would give me pause. But I don't like camping around bears either, so I may be a coward.

 
Two things

1- Hell yes I would go, though not take the kids

2- Anyone who thinks "meh, it can't be any more dangerous than the zoo" is a blazing idiot

I'm tired of these mother ####### raptors in this mother ####### kitchen.

 
Hell yes. I don't even care if they eat me. So cool to see the dinos.

Not take the kids. Seriously? Hey kids. I'm going to see a T-Rex and Raptors. Tough luck. You can't go. It's like going to the best roller coaster in the park, waiting in line for 30 mins, then some pimply headed teenager telling you they are half and inch too short to get on the ride.

This is exactly how I feel. People watch too many movies if they think a park like this wouldn't be safe. A real Jurassic Park isnt going to have Newman from Seinfeld the only guy in charge of every park system, and is going to have preventive measures to keep people from walking off the ride to go stick their arms in triceratops #### or pet a velociraptor, etc. etc.

I'd feel like the worst parent in the world going to see real live dinosaurs but telling the kids they couldn't go.

 
I dont think my question was all inclusive enough to say I would go but NOT take kids

Wasnt my intent

 
I would let some guys from the FFA go and then come back and read the 200 page thread that ensued. This way I could see if they made it back, check for VIP plans and best time of the year to go etc.

Plus I'd hate for my kids to grow up as orphans.

 
If it was in the United States, I would absolutely go and bring the kids.

If it was in some third world country with lax regulations and security protocol, you couldn't pay me enough to go.

 
Would you go day ONE.

Day 900 sure, nothing to fear. Day one???? How could you even enjoy yourself? Beer I guess

The poll doesn't specify if its day 1. I probably wouldn't go anywhere on day one.

and I would enjoy myself by watching live dinosaurs.

 
I was kind of assuming the question was if the park is completely uncontrolled and you are running for your life.

But I guess we're to assume it's just a safe zoo?

It's kind of a critical assumption. 95% no or 99% yes
