Notes from the Jurassic Park chronology

This episode takes place concurrently with the events of Jurassic World.

Didja Know?

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is a CG-animated TV series that aired on the Netflix streaming service from 2020-2022 for five seasons and one special. While the first couple of episodes take place before and during the events of Jurassic World, the rest of them take place shortly after that film, and about three years before the events of Fallen Kingdom. Netflix is currently producing episodes of a sequel series, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, whose first season began in May 2024.

   Each episode of the series opens with the words "A Netflix Original Series" over what appears to be a T. rex footprint in the jungle mud. 

    The Universal Pictures logo that appears after this is altered from the usual to have the Earth globe with a continent that looks very roughly like the supercontinent Pangaea may have looked in the Triassic-Jurassic periods of the Mesozoic era, 200-150 million years ago.

    As the Universal Earth globe spins, a second "continent" seen is actually a stylized DreamWorks Pictures logo (a boy sitting with a fishing pole on the crescent Moon), followed by the Amblin Entertainment logo.

The dinosaur that bursts out of the bursts out of the Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous gates at the beginning of the opening titles of each episode is a Tyrannosaurus rex, possibly the infamous Rexy herself, but we don't see its right side close enough to see if it has Rexy's raptor scars incurred in Jurassic Park.

Didja Notice? 

Baby ankylosaur Bumpy is significantly larger here than he was at birth in "Secrets". It has been established in previous stories that the Jurassic Park/World dinosaurs are genetically engineered to grow swiftly.

Finding the ACU (Asset Containment Unit) van, Darius asks if anyone knows how to drive and Sammy remarks they all drove gyroshperes and it can't be that different. But Ben corrects her that the gyrospheres had joysticks and a Jimmy Fallon tutorial on how to drive them. The tutorial was not seen in the Camp Cretaceous series, but was seen in Jurassic World. Jimmy Fallon is a real world comedian and host of the late night comedy talk show, The Tonight Show, in the U.S. since February 2014. Fallon also hosts video introductions that play during the bus rides around Universal Studios, Hollywood.

At 13:35, a number of blue barrels are seen sitting alongside the road near the genetics lab. Traditionally, blue barrels indicate food storage. The mountain seen behind the lab here may be Mount Sibo, the volcano that will erupt in Fallen Kingdom.
