Story & Setting
It also includes a comphrensive guide to dinosaurs, geared to help you figure out what each dino likes and dislikes, and how to make them happy, as well as a brief history of each specific dino.
Gameplay & Core Systems
You have various buildings at your disposal, from the standard restaurant and bathroom to gift stalls and photo booths. You even have the ability to take the tour yourself, and see your park as your visitors see it. With this building, you can have helicopters patrol your park to watch for any disasters.
