And other than 'eee so cool (if scientifically inaccurate)', I have two thoughts:

1/ Raptor trainers. Yesssss.

2/ So... what makes the New Dinosaur so much scarier than the old ones? That it keeps trying to kill you, just like T. rex and the now-inaccurate Spinosaurus? That it's apparently intelligent, just like the raptors deinonychosaurs Maniraptorans - heck, didn't the spinosaur track Grant and company across half an island, and the tyrannosaurs in II the same? That it's big, again like T. rex and Spinosaurus? That it's all three?

I'unno, maybe it, like, breathes fire, or is immune to electric fences, or something. But I honestly don't know why they (the filmmakers or the park) wanted a new dinosaur when there's no real... advantage.

(Of course, the scariest JP dinosaur has to be Carnotaurus from the Lost World novel. Ambush predator with the ability to camouflage itself against anything, up to and including a chain link fence? Yeah, I'd run from that.)
