Feld Entertainment’s “Jurassic World Live Tour” traveling arena show is in town through Monday with its cast of extra-large prehistoric stars. The dinos look fantastic, at least from my seat on the Amway Center’s terrace level. But I can’t imagine those who paid for the floor seats — and got plenty of up-close-and-personal time with the beast — had reason to complain.

“Jurassic World Live Tour” is faithful to its movie franchise, by which I mean it’s loud and energetic, with a paint-by-numbers plot, cliched dialogue and stock characters.

The science is as goofy as ever. Dr. Kate Walker is a scientist experimenting with a Dino Decoder. It sounds like a plastic toy from a cereal box, but apparently it allows a dinosaur’s brain waves to be transmitted and analyzed to reveal the creature’s mental state, as long as it’s synced properly — like an oversized Fitbit, I suppose.

The script even manages to cheekily work in the franchise’s signature pseudo-science when a character is chastised: “If you’d done your homework, you’d know life always finds a way.” Indeed.

Obviously, none of this has deterred fans who made the “Jurassic World” film one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. The live show tells an original story, but with a familiar outline: The dinosaurs escape their enclosure, someone wants to do something bad with them (in this case militarize them), and a plucky band of humans and dinos save the day.

The children around me, eating snow cones out of dinosaur mugs and sporting dino headgear, ate up the spectacle — which is impressive. The show uses not only the giant puppets, but stuntwork, motorcycle action and even flamethrowers. When one character announced that the Indominus rex was on the loose and bigger than a T. rex, a young boy behind me gasped, “What?!?”

That child proved to be astute. When a villainous doctor was carried off by a Pteranodon in one of the best sequences, my young friend remarked with certainty, “He’s dead.”

Any deaths occur offstage, and the show’s length — about 95 minutes including a 20-minute intermission — means it suits kids’ attention spans. The show does get a little talky at times, but in an inspired move, some mushy human love conversation takes place while two beautifully lit bioluminescent dinosaurs take the stage — and thereby hold the attention.

Jeanie, a mama dino looking for her eggs, is a worthy addition to the prehistoric pack. The human performers are game enough as they rattle off their action-movie clichés: “No, no, no, anything but that!” and the ever-popular villainous “Let’s get this done.” The show’s lighting could have been more inventive to help better focus the audience’s attention, but trust me on this: Your 8-year-old won’t care a bit as long as those dinosaurs are on the prowl.

Jurassic World Live Tour adding two elements to canon, including a new dinosaur

Credit: NBCUniversal/Feld Entertainment

Before Colin Trevorrow ’s third Jurassic World movie stomps into theaters in the summer of 2021, Feld Entertainment and NBCUniversal (owner of SYFY Wire) are taking the franchise on the road in a revolutionary live show that blends real actors with state-of-the-art animatronics .

While the production brings back all the fan favorites, like the T. rex, velociraptors, and Indominus rex, there are also a number of surprises that longtime fans of the franchise may not be expecting.

Today, SYFY WIRE attended a behind-the-scenes demonstration for  Jurassic World Live Tour  and learned more about the plot and its central dinosaur hero, a Troodon named Jeanie. This particular specie of dinosaur, which lived during the Cretaceous period and is considered to be the smartest that ever lived, is a brand-new addition to the  Jurassic Park canon.

"She’s slightly smaller in size than, say, a raptor, but she can still go toe to toe with a raptor. Very intelligent, she conveys a lot of emotion and inquisitiveness," said project manager Corey McCourt at the event.

"They’re that far advanced, and it’s believed that if the dinosaurs didn’t go extinct, that [they] would have actually evolved and still be around today," added Associate Producer Chris Nobles.

Jeanie actually showed up in the scaly flesh to interact with the gathered members of the press.

"This is a new bit of technology that translates dinosaur thoughts and emotions into human language, so we can determine whether a dinosaur feels happy or sad or angry or scared," said Ross Nicholson, one of the production's co-directors.

While fans may be curious why we haven't seen Jeanie or Kate in the franchise before, Nobles said that they've always been there in the background, just not essential to the story of Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), and the rest of the characters we already know.

"[Kate] has her own lab just like Owen has his lab. It’s just that camera shift of ‘What’s going on over here?’ And she’s working with the Troodons, just to work on their brain activity and to see what’s going on in their heads."

Of course, no Jurassic World event would be complete without a guest appearance from Blue herself, the raptor trained by Owen. Just like Jeanie, she also showed up to take selfies, snarl a bit, and look generally menacing.

To perfectly capture the look and feel of the live-action movies, the production got plenty of consultation from Steven Spielberg , Colin Trevorrow, and Frank Marshall .

"The thing that Steven Spielberg said to us [is that] he wanted us to really make sure that we had that humor in our show," Nicholson said. "So, we’ve been really careful in our script to make sure that we really bring that out. All the key hallmarks of the franchise [are on display]: the awe and wonder, the action-adventure, the thrills, and above everything else, the humor."

Nicholson's co-director, Dan Shipton, added:

“Steven was also telling us about when he was making Jurassic Park , that his dream was make a full-sized T. rex, but he never got around to it. He obviously did what he did, and it made an incredible film. So, when he went back to it and CGI had moved on, they just jumped the animatronic part and made the T. rex with CGI. He’s so excited that we’re getting a real, full animatronic T. rex on the stage, and that’s something that he had dreamed of and was excited that we’re actually making that dream come true for him.”

Jurassic World Live Tour kicks off in Columbus, Ohio, this September and will travel along the East Coast and part of the Midwest into the spring of 2020. For a full schedule of the tour, click here .

Jurassic World 3 , directed and co-written by Trevorrow, opens in theaters June 11, 2021.

Deadpool & wolverine's best fight scene explained by ryan reynolds & shawn levy, iron man star praised by ryan reynolds for his help with deadpool & wolverine.

We have some brand new details regarding the Jurassic World Live Tour. Universal is doing everything they can to expand the franchise, since the past two movies have grossed nearly $3 billion combined at the box office. Their next endeavor is a live stage show that will be making its way across the country starting in September. As it turns it out, this isn't purely a stunt, as the story being told will be canon within the franchise. Not only that, but there is going to be some legit dino action at its center.

The show will take place between the events of the first Jurassic World and last year's Fallen Kingdom . One major element of the show is that it will be introducing a new dinosaur, a Troodon by the name of Jeanie, to the canon. This is a creature that has never been featured in the franchise up to this point. Project manager Corey McCourt had this to say about it at a recent press event.

"She's slightly smaller in size than, say, a raptor, but she can still go toe to toe with a raptor. Very intelligent, she conveys a lot of emotion and inquisitiveness."

The dinosaurs on stage are full-size animatronic creations , which look rather impressive. As for the story hinges on a device known as a Dino Decoder, which was Created by Isla Nublar scientist Dr. Kate Walker (Madison Embrey). The device makes it so that humans can understand dinosaur emotions. As for why we haven't seen Kate in the movies? Apparently, she just doesn't have much to do with the characters we've come to know, such as Owen and Claire. But she's been there in the background the whole time. Co-director Ross Nicholson had this to say about the Dino Decoder.

"This is a new bit of technology that translates dinosaur thoughts and emotions into human language, so we can determine whether a dinosaur feels happy or sad or angry or scared."

Another important element to the show is that Steven Spielberg, who directed the original Jurassic Park , and Colin Trevorrow, who is the key creative figure behind the new movies, were both consulted heavily on the stage show. Spielberg, for his part, wanted to see humor injected into the production. Another thing that they've done, to the probable delight of fans, is crafted a full-size T-rex that will be used on stage. Co-director Dan Shipton explained how that came to be.

"Steven was also telling us about when he was making Jurassic Park, that his dream was make a full-sized T. rex , but he never got around to it. He obviously did what he did, and it made an incredible film. So, when he went back to it and CGI had moved on, they just jumped the animatronic part and made the T. rex with CGI. He's so excited that we're getting a real, full animatronic T. rex on the stage, and that's something that he had dreamed of and was excited that we're actually making that dream come true for him."

The Jurassic World Live Tour kicks off this September with its first shows in Columbus, Ohio. It will be making its way across the country into 2020, with more dates and cities to be announced in the future. Tickets for the event are on sale now. We've included a trailer, as well as photos from those who were at the recent press event, below. This news was previously reported by SyFy .

Jurassic World Live Tour is coming to Seattle: Is it worth going?

Show review.

KENT — If you’ve ever watched a “Jurassic Park” movie and thought to yourself, “Wow, this would be so much better without the special effects and the movie stars,” have I got an event for you. A sort of community-theater version of the franchise, Jurassic World Live Tour involves some very large puppet dinosaurs and some even larger souvenir stands where things like green-glowing Light Machetes ($30) were selling briskly, the better to see … well, I’m still not quite sure what.

Touching down at Kent’s accesso ShoWare Center last weekend and at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena June 16-18, Jurassic World Live Tour is basically a 90-minute (with intermission) play; that is, if a play was staged in a sports arena and involved prerecorded dialogue, actors gamely lip-syncing, and a Troodon dinosaur with black-legginged human legs poking out. (Weirdly, the Troodon — whose name is Jeannie, in honor of her apparently being a genius, which some marketer clearly is — also has a full set of dinosaur legs, the lower of which are sort of haphazardly attached to the human legs, meaning that she has six visible legs. Which makes her an insect maybe? I have so many questions.)

The story unfolding here is not directly from any of the movies — pity, as it might have been fun to watch an actor imitate Jeff Goldblum or Chris Pratt, or reenact Bryce Dallas Howard’s running-in-heels stunt . But it’s recognizable: Nice scientists cultivate relationships with dinosaurs, evil people want to use the dinosaurs for ill, T. rex gets cranky, and everything sorts itself out after much mayhem.

All of this plays out over a booming sports-arena PA system, which means that everyone sounds like they’re about to announce that the Kraken are taking the ice. There’s no nuance here, to the extent that it’s often hard to tell which actor is speaking, never mind what they’re saying — but then again, nuance is not the point of Jurassic World Live Tour, where a bag of cotton candy with a reusable dinosaur head attached costs $18. The story involves something about dinosaur brain waves and a Dinosaur Decoder Prototype, whatever that is, and a lot of lines like, “We have to find the eggs before it’s too late!” (Dinosaur eggs, of course, which the show’s paleo-veterinarian misidentifies, to dramatic effect. Don’t they teach anything in paleo-vet school?)

But you want to know about the dinosaurs. OK, they come in two types, for which I will use the highly technical term of small ones (the ones walking around on visible human legs) and big ones. The big ones, including the aforementioned cranky T. rex (who probably just needs some dinosaur therapy), lumber about on large and extremely visible platforms; they’re well-designed and look like impressive engineering feats, but don’t have much personality. And — yes, I know I am asking a lot, but it isn’t me who stuck the name of “Live Tour” on this thing — shouldn’t they at least sort of seem alive? Isn’t that the point?

To be fair, I should note that many of the kids in the arena seemed to be eating all of this up quite happily, particularly the one who ran out onto the arena floor after the show had begun (quickly retrieved by a swift and sheepish parent). There are a few decent stunts in the show, particularly a guy in the ensemble who does some very good wheelies on a motorbike (it’s like he’s doing them to keep himself amused, but whatever works), and a nice up-to-the-rafters-with-the-raptors moment that likely caused a few people to drop their Jurassic Popcorn.

But mostly Jurassic World Live Tour just seems like a long, strange experiment in live-action fan fiction, full of odd choices (one dinosaur repeatedly makes a noise that sounds like he’s trying to cough up a hairball) and existing primarily as a vehicle for selling plush dinosaurs, dinosaur-head bubble blowers, raptor necklaces and T-shirts that say “Awesome Saurus Rex” on them. I remember the magic of seeing “Jurassic Park” for the first time, 30 years ago, when the CGI wasn’t yet perfect but the dinosaurs had a stunning majesty. Re-watching its opening scenes the other day, I noted a line spoken by an evil lawyer character (nattily dressed in blazer and linen shorts): “We’re going to make a fortune from this place.” He didn’t know the half of it.

7 p.m. June 16; 11 a.m., 3 p.m., 7 p.m. June 17; noon and 4 p.m. June 18; Climate Pledge Arena, 334 First Ave. N., Seattle; tickets begin at $25 (pricing subject to change due to market demand); jurassicworldlivetour.com

“Welcome to Jurassic Park.”

In 1993, director Steven Spielberg and writer Michael Crichton opened the twin wooden doors that served as the entrance to Jurassic Park and showed moviegoers across the country and around the world what it would be like if dinosaurs walked amongst us. Some of the dinosaurs depicted were majestic and awe-inspiring while others were downright terrifying, allowing Jurassic Park the movie to capture the imagination of millions.

In 2015, meanwhile, the island of Isla Nublar was transformed from a “park” into a “world” and allowed moviegoers to experience what an actual theme park populated by dinosaurs would look like in real life. The ride was again exhilarating, with Gyrospheres that explored the stomping grounds of Stegosaurus and Triceratops, an outdoor Mosasaurus Feeding Show, and even a Jurassic World Aviary that was the home of Dimorphodons and Pteranodons.

Then in 2019, Feld Entertainment unleashed Jurassic World Live Tour , an addition to the Jurassic Park narrative that takes place between Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom . Instead of a film production, however, Jurassic World Live Tour is more akin to a theater performance, albeit on a grander scale, that transports attendees to the world of Jurassic Park with life size dinosaurs roaming directly in front of their eyes.

Feld Entertainment spent two years designing the spectacle, using a combination of animatronic dinosaurs for larger creatures like Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex and live “dino-teers” – actors in puppet costumes – performing as Velociraptors and a Troodon. The show first hit the road in September 2019, bringing the thrill of seeing living, breathing dinosaurs to both children and adults alike across the United States.

Jurassic World Live Tour is more than mere dino-spectacle, however, as it likewise contains a storyline that fits in with the overall Jurassic World narrative. “We wanted to weave the dinosaurs into a good solid story plot, very much like the movies do,” associate producer Chris Nobels explained to SyFy . “The dinosaurs are characters in the movies just as much as the people are. The T-Rex doesn’t come out just to come out, she comes out with purpose, and same thing in our show. She comes out with purpose.”

The overarching theme of the Jurassic Park franchise is the belief that humans are incapable of either playing God or controlling nature. Warnings regarding the dangers of both are expressed by everyone from Ian Malcolm to Owen Grady and are inevitably proven correct by the end of every film in the series – dinosaurs escape, lives are lost, and disaster awaits the “villain” of each installment.

The concerns voiced by Malcolm and Grady are not directly related to the dinosaurs themselves, however, but their Homo sapien counterparts instead. There are, after all, two sides to human nature – the good and the evil, the light and the dark. While both Jurassic Park and Jurassic World ended with the abandonment of Isla Nublar, one could argue that the cause was not nature itself but human nature and its thirst for greed, power, and military might.

Jurassic World Live Tour , meanwhile, offers a different point of view. While there is indeed an InGen security unit under the command of Kurt Reed that only see dinosaurs as dangerous and potential weapons, a competing faction of Jurassic World scientists are also on hand. Led by Dr. Kate Walker, they believe there is much to be learned from dinosaurs and that the creatures should be treated with respect rather than force.

It is the conflict between these two factions that drives the narrative of Jurassic World Live Tour . Kate Walker has forged a bond with a Troodon named Jeannie and has even invented a device that monitors the brainwaves of the dinosaur. When the events of the first Jurassic World movie forces an exodus from Isla Nublar, Kurt Reed captures Jeannie before fleeing and attempts to duplicate the research of Kate Walker. While Walker’s intentions were good, however, Reed is intent on weaponizing Jeannie.

The second half of Jurassic World Live Tour is thus about Walker and her fellow scientist attempting to not only free Jeannie but reunite the dinosaur with her eggs on Isla Nublar. Instead of the disasters that ended both Jurassic Park and Jurassic World , Jurassic World Live Tour concludes with the good guys not only prevailing but having gained the trust and assistance of both Jeannie and the Velociraptor nicknamed Blue that was trained by Owen Grady in the initial Jurassic World film.

Can humans live safely amongst dinosaurs? The efforts of Kate Walker and Owen Grady suggest the possibility, but only if dinosaurs are treated as living beings as opposed to mere tourist attractions and potential military weapons. By taking that path, both Grady and Walker gained trust that ultimately saved each of their lives within the larger Jurassic World narrative.

In the original Jurassic Park film, Ian Malcolm believed chaos theory prevented a park that was populated by dinosaurs from ever being safe for human beings. He was indeed correct, but only because the dark side of human nature was the source of the chaos. Tragedy befell Jurassic Park in the first film because of Dennis Nedry’s greed, while the desire to create a bigger tourist attraction – another form of greed – sealed the fate of Jurassic World.

Jurassic World Live Tour offers a more positive viewpoint and showcases the dinosaurs that roam the arenas at their most majestic and awe-inspiring best. Although there is not an age limit for attending Jurassic World Live Tour , children are its primary target and those in that demographic have wide-eyes and smiles on their faces anytime a Stegosaurus lumbers past. For them, fantasy becomes reality just as it did in 1993 for moviegoers with the release of the original Jurassic Park .

But Jurassic World Live Tour likewise contains a lesson that goes beyond sheer enjoyment – that respect for nature is a better path to travel, and not just when it comes to dinosaurs.

Physical Appearance [ ]

Jeanie has a dark olive green base with black stripes with white outlines running of from her back to her tail.

Jurassic World: Live Tour [ ]

Jeanie was created sometime during Jurassic World's operation, as Dr. Kate Walker was working with her with a device known as the Dino Decoder , a device used to understand and predict a dinosaur's thoughts and emotions.

Behavioral Characteristics [ ]

• Jeanie is very comfortable around all her human companions.
• Jeanie calls Blue  for help and is able to work with other animals.

Gallery [ ]

• Despite being a Troodon , Jeannie lacks her toe claw that all of Troodon's relatives had, which almost certainly would have translated to Troodon having it as well. Her hands and head are also very reminiscent of Compsognathus . She also does not resemble the Troodon from Jurassic Park: The Game , which are much smaller and have a different color scheme.

Move Over, Robots: Sea Lions With Cameras Can Map the Ocean Floor

Daphne, Phoebe, Iris and Pasithea demonstrated how marine mammals can help scientists understand mysterious places that humans may never visit.

By Kate Golembiewski

Around much of the planet, an aquatic mystery leaves scientists in the dark.

“For most of the ocean, we don’t know what the bottom looks like,” said Nathan Angelakis, a Ph.D. student at the South Australian Research and Development Institute (Aquatic Sciences) and the University of Adelaide.

So for a recent research effort, Mr. Angelakis and colleagues called in some helpers named Daphne, Phoebe, Iris and Pasithea. The four assistants, along with several others, carried underwater video cameras and dived to parts of the ocean floor off Australia’s southern coast that scientists had never seen before. Their footage shows meadows of leafy seaweeds and craggy rocks covered in corals, and even includes the first recording of a mother Australian sea lion teaching her pup how to hunt.

Daphne, Phoebe, Iris and Pasithea had a unique advantage in capturing sea lion footage: They are sea lions themselves. Findings from their camera work were published on Wednesday in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science . Mr. Angelakis and colleagues hope their swims will help scientists develop a better understanding of how sea lions use these different habitat spaces, and how humans can manage these ecosystems to ensure that the places visited by Australian sea lions, which are endangered , are not further degraded.

Scientists usually map parts of the seabed by using remotely operated vehicles and cameras towed by underwater vessels. But using those tools can be challenging and expensive. So Mr. Angelakis and his colleagues decided to try another way to map the remote, aquatic ecosystems around Kangaroo Island and Olive Island in Australia: They attached video cameras to the area’s sea lions, which routinely dive 300 feet beneath the surface while hunting.

With approval from marine conservation authorities, Mr. Angelakis and his team approached Daphne, Phoebe, Iris, Pasithea and four other wild sea lions on land. (Only four of the eight study subjects had been given names by local tour guides.) They administered a light sedative. While the sea lions were groggy, the researchers glued patches of synthetic wet suit material a little larger than a credit card to the animals’ backs and heads, and then attached small cameras and devices to track both speed and location.

When the sea lions awoke, they made their way to the water. After a few days, they returned to their pups on the shore, and the researchers removed the devices. The synthetic patches remained, to be molted off as the sea lions naturally shed their fur.

Once the cameras had been retrieved, the researchers huddled around a laptop screen to review the footage.

“You get those moments which are really exciting,” Mr. Angelakis said, such as “when the sea lion captures a really big fish or a small shark or it’s wrangling an octopus.”

Mr. Angelakis said perhaps the most thrilling scene was captured by Daphne. “She was taking her pup out to sea, and that’s the first direct evidence that we’ve collected of Australian sea lion mothers teaching or passing on their foraging skills to their pups,” Mr. Angelakis said.

In addition to insights into sea lion behavior, the videos provided the researchers with a rare perspective of the ocean floor. The scientists trained a machine learning model with the 89 hours of footage the sea lions gathered, along with GPS data and environmental information, including surface temperature and the amount of plant matter in the water. The model can predict the likely habitats lurking beneath the surface of unexplored parts of the surrounding ocean.

Dan Costa, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, said that while he and other researchers had used cameras on sea lions and seals to learn about the ocean environment, “this was a new, really novel take on that, to use the animals to document the characteristics of the ocean floor.”

And for Dr. Costa, who was not involved with the study, a sea lion’s-eye view of the ocean could be the key to conservation.

“The more we learn about them, the better chance we’ll have to manage them and protect them,” he said. “It’s just a really cool, interesting animal, and so it deserves a place in the world.”
