Notes from the Jurassic Park chronology

This episode takes place shortly after the events of "Secrets".

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 Brooklyn finds her phone almost out of space, she starts to delete old stuff, but remarks she wants to make sure not to delete her selfie on Everest. Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth above sea level at 29,029 feet.

As she lists out all her family members who are always around her at home to Yasmina, Sammy mentions abuela. This is Spanish for "grandmother".

The dinosaurs seen during the "cattle drive" are Sinoceratops, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Ankylosaurus, and Brontosaurus.

Didja Notice? 

On page 46, the story opens with the kids described as sitting around the fire pit in the common room. But page 48 describes them as being outside around the fire and it starts to rain. In the televised episode, they are definitely outside, at the base of their treehouse quarters.

When Roxie tells Kenji he must ride in Ben's gyrosphere, as a passenger only, she has an additional line of dialog not in the televised episode, "Knowing you, you'll crash the thing, probably into a pack of Velociraptors."

In the novelization, the Sinosaurus' horn breaks when it flings Darius and Brooklyn's gyrosphere away into the mud pit.

In the novelization, during the rescue of Darius and Brooklyn from the mud pit, Kenji ties the vines together to make a rope, Yasmina wraps the vine around a high tree branch as pulley, Darius pulls the end of the vine into the gyrosphere through the hole in the cockpit, and Brooklyn ties it around the dashboard. In the televised episode, the same actions take place, but by different members of the crew: Sammy ties the vine, Kenji loops it over the branch, Brooklyn pulls the vine in, and Darius ties it to the dashboard.
