Notes from the Jurassic Park chronology

This episode takes place immediately after the events of "Welcome to 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? 

When Sammy expresses concern about the whole group being able to run to the docks for evacuation due to Yasmina's injury, Yasmina objects that she's competed with a torn ACL. ACL stands for "anterior cruciate ligament", one of the ligaments of the human knee. A torn ACL is a fairly common injury suffered by runners and other athletes.

The kids catch a ride on the monorail, first seen in Jurassic World.

Jurassic World has a dinosaur-themed, 18-hole golf course.

Ben reveals that his mother works for Masrani and that's how she got him on the Camp Cretaceous list, thinking it would help him to face his fears.

The moving monorail is attacked by the Pteranodons that escaped the aviary in "Welcome to Jurassic World" (an event also seen in Jurassic World). 

Notes from the junior novelization Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous - The Deluxe Junior Novelization Volume One by Steve Behling Cover illustration by Patrick Spaziante 2020 Chapters 12-14 cover the events of this episode.

In the novelization, the emergency announcer over the park P.A. system informs anyone still on the island they must get to the ferries at the south dock for immediate evacuation, and that the last ferry leaves in 90 minutes. In the televised episode, the last ferry is said to leave in two hours.

On page 120, Ben sees an old photograph of Kenji attached to the dashboard of the monorail's control car, with words written below it, BANNED FROM MONORAIL TOURS. This is not seen in the televised episode, though Kenji does tell them he was given a VIP tour of the monorail when he was eight and they let him drive it.
