Yes, I have built one. It's pretty big, and I like it a lot. Unfortunately, I
don't have a scanner or any knowledge of how to put pictures on the Internet,
so I'll just describe it, okay?
The visitor's centre is a large grey building that uses a lot of Metroliner
parts and covers a 16x32 grey baseplate, and part of a 32x32 helicopter landing
pad out front. The entrance is mid-sized wooden castle doors, with torches.
The bottom floor has two rooms, and a staircase. To the left is the computer
control room. There are rows of computer stations, and Nedry's is the one with
the pizzas on it :) There are work stations for the other employees too, and a
map on the wall. To the right is the hatchery. There is a small pen with a
baby raptor, rows of eggs, and a small robotic arm. There should be a sink to
keep everyone's hands clean, but it's in a restaurant now. On the second floor
there are also two rooms. On the left there is a storage room where the
scientists have been hoarding translucent yellow elements, looking for
mosquitos. They have a filing cabinet, and a microscope. To the right is the
embryo storage room, which is like the one in the movie. The top floor, or
roof, was rushed and isn't that impressive. A trap door can drop down so the
minifigures can climb up to escape the raptors. Bars on the roof make it
somewhat raptor-proof, for a while anyway. That is pretty much my Jurassic
Park building. The upstairs rooms can be removed, as can the roof and stairs,
for playability/display/construction. I've also built a helicopter, most of
the cast, and three dinosaurs- Utahraptor, Carnotaurus, and the 'spitter'
Dilophosaurus (with a mini-pneumatic pump as the body, allowing real spitting
action!) I won't be destroying this any time soon, so maybe in a year or two
it will be on the internet.
