Yeah it totally paints a bigger picture on the canvas of ride creation in general. Movies follow the same formula themselves. The original concepts are always way more complex and full of creativity compared to how they turn out. Much like Jurassic Park the film itself. If you have ever seen its concept art, their original vision was far bigger and complex. One can only hope they will borrow ideas from those concepts on the new film they are attempting, because they were quite amazing just like for the ride.
Gary really was making this his vision. It follows the novel much more closely than the film, and he really brings it to life in his original plans. Wait til you see what else he had in mind when part two comes out...
