Competition: [JW]My JW Experience

Finished
[JW]My JW Experience

Many park visitors like to write about their experiences in the park, whether to share with friends digitally, or to record their memories in a journal. Describe your experience at one Dino observation area, tour or attraction from the map/brochure. Even if you don’t consider yourself a writer, feel free to give it a try!

Instructions: Upload a doc or txt file or paste into the submission box. Word count between 200-800. Judged on: Mayda’s Fiction Rubric (see below).

Mayda’s Fiction Rubric: Similar to the DJB Fiction Rubric , except that Story 20%, Realism 20% and Entertainment is 60%. I am non-traditional myself so I value things that are “outside the box.” I also want this to be more easy-going and less stressful than serious fiction competitions. This is to provide an opportunity to let your creativity flow and try something new! Feel free to try a new style of writing and storytelling. Parody another movie - make a mash-up of two. Leave it a cliffhanger without an ending - you won’t be marked down. Invent a dino language. I won’t take off for spelling and grammar, unless I absolutely cannot understand what you are saying. If you aren’t normally a writer, it’s ok, give it a try! But, be sure to keep it PG-13, nothing too graphic, please. And please email me if you have questions or are not sure of anything or are hesitant to try. Have fun!

To whom it may concern,

We were at Judecca World for our 40th anniversary, and Charles and I had an absolutely wonderful time! We were especially impressed by the free drinks we had at dinner one night! Why, I remember that folks there even put on this really dramatic show for us that same evening...

The lights and power went out just as we got to the hotel. I admit, I was a little frightened at first, but the actors did a superb job of making it feel real, but all funny at the same time. And the dinosaurs..! My! They sure looked pretty real and frightful, but it was sooo thrilling! I still don't know how they made that droid dance upside down like they did, but the dinosaurs just chirped and jumped at it, as it flailed about shouting: "Oh my! We're doomed..!"

I must say, the attention to detail was definitely there, so was room service and the general cleanliness. That is, except that very same night when something the size of a rancor left a brown mound near the parking. I mean, it was impressive seeing so many Jawas with shovels, but I imagine that the park would be better served with some industrial construction dirt diggers and haulers. I was wondering how you got all them nice botanical gardens all over; it's become evident that you don't have to outsource your fertilizer..!

We will definitely be coming back..!

Sincerely yours,

Charles and Gladys Ken d'Arby

By far my favorite dino at Judecca World was the T-Rex. From a distance we watched this carnivorous dinosaur behind its cage. A 30ft. high steel enforced perimeter surrounded these gracious creatures, spanning miles of perimeter. Waiting and watching for hours, studying their moves and behaviors. How lonely it must be for T-Rex. The day grew old as we watched them be. Bigger than the Raptor the T-Rex walked on 2 legs just like the Raptor does. T-Rex was definatly one of the bigger predators at Judecca World. Their colors and scales differed, some were green with a black tint, while others were brown with a red tint. They all seemed to get along behind the perimeter. At least we didnt see any dead T-rex carcus this day. It seemed to me that the Rex was a slow moving creature, but capable of moving 30mph. We didnt actually catch a glimpse of the T-Rex running in the wild. They seemed to be pretty much at rest or reserved for the most part. Basking in the sun and even bathing under a waterfall. The feelings of a T-Rex to me almost seemed like they were trapped behind steel perimeter, slow moving and very aggressive. Like they wanted out of the cage, into the wild jungle were they belonged. Althought they seemed trapped to me it was their aggressive nature that intrigued me. Before the sun set on our adventure we observed a Rex being fed. This was a most disturbing event that day. Cornered behind the perimeter a full grown cow was being fed to one of the Rex. The Rex absolutely slaughtered the poor cow. The rex slightly bent down and with his two claws, he pinned this live cow down a began eating the cow alive. This cow moowed for its life as it was being devoured alive. The T-Rex really enjoyed it's meal, 500+ pounds of meat the T-Rex handled the meal easily. Imagine what it would do to me if it ever got free!
