The Isla Nublar/Jurassic Park North Docks were where the big cruise ships would've unloaded the majority of visitors to the park. It had its own vehicle fleet to transport guests to the Visitor Center, passing by the Velociraptor and Herrerasaur Paddocks, and the Bone Shaker roller coaster on the way.
It was only mentioned in the books, but makes an appearance in Jurassic Park: The Game.
Features[]
Unlike the East Docks, which only has a small platform and dockhouse, the North Docks have the following:
- Pier
- Guard Tower
- Processing Center
- Container Yard
- Main Gates to park
Trivia[]
- The North Dock seems stronger, and slightly larger than the East Dock
- The novel describes it as "the North Dock where all the big supply ships come in..." whereas in the game, the North Dock is meant for Cruise Liners
- The North Dock is one of two major entry and department centers on Isla Nublar; the first being the airstrip provided by Continental Airlines, and the second as the Cruise Ship berth
- This is where Nima would have met her contact from Biosyn. Her contact was presumably either eaten by a dinosaur or killed by Billy Yoder as speculated by the Hardings and Nima as there was no sign of them.
- It's close to a series of sea caves and the lagoon that holds the Marine Facility.
