Pleasing Tourists
"The star of the third Jurassic Park movie will be recognizable to most guests, even the mainstream variety. A five-star dinosaur makes for a great exhibit no matter what you do. To improve its efficiency, stick a Spinosaurus in with other early Cretaceous beasts like the Acrocanthosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and Ouranosaurus. Dino nerds will appreciate the effort, as will thrill seekers who will love the battles between the three giant carnivores as they fight for the lone herbivore." ~Prima's Official Strategy Guide
