Okay, let's do this. I'm taking you way back to the beginning! A time before time!

Back in 1947 some Dinosaur fossils were discovered at a dig site now known as the Boneyard in the town of DinoLand USA in Diggs County. Well, more specifically, it was a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton that was found. This incredible discovery led to the founding of the Dino Institute in 1949! The very same place that our own Dr. Grant Seeker would eventually work at.

The very first headquarters for the Dino Institute was an old fishing lodge which served a number of functions. A museum, student quarters, and even a restuarant when a new museum opened up in 1978.

Fast forward to the 1990s and the Dino Institute was seeking out a new Director to help them move forward into the 21st century. After a year of searching, they eventually hired a woman by the name of Dr. Helen Marsh, who was known for saving museums and scientific institutions in trouble. Dr. Marsh would then buy out Chrono-Tech, a company researching time travel, and with additional help and funding from corporate partner, Chrono-Tech and the Dino Institute would be able to create the Time Rover.

And! Here's! Where! Shit! Gets! Messy!

There were a lot of concerns about whether or not they should go right into making time travel available for tourists with such little testing, but Dr. Marsh pushed for it and eventually they did open to the public. This was mainly to keep their research into prehistory funded, but it was also a... pretty bad idea.Because there was one man who decided that he wanted to use the technology for selfish reasons.

That man was Dr. Grant Seeker.

I don't really feel like going into Seeker's backstory because there's literally nothing to go on, but for simplicity's sake I'm going to summarize say he was born and raised in DinoLand USA, had an interest in dinosaurs since he was a little kid, went to college and got a PhD in Paleontology, and ended up working at the Dino Institute sometime before the purchase of Chrono-Tech. Got it? Good.

Let's move on to the ride and how Dr. Seeker really fucked up and almost killed 10 innocent people.

Some tourists enter the Institute and go through the queue, blah blah blah. Bill Nye tells them some cool shit about evolution because why the hell not! It's Bill fucking Nye! He's apparently affiliated of the Institute for some reason!

After going through the queue, the tourists come to the pre-show room, where in a live video, Dr. Marsh tells them that they will be going on a tour through the early Cretaceous period. Though, before she can finish, Dr. Seeker decides to hijack the feed from his own lab and tells the tourists that he plans to send them to the late Cretaceous period to rescue an Iguanadon that he'd tagged with a tracker on one of his previous "unauthorized fieldtrips."

But guess what! Dr. March overhears the bastard, entering the lab and telling him that he will NOT be doing any such thing and that it's far too dangerous to send the tourists to that time, as it's far too close to the time when the meteor that caused Dinosaurs to go extinct hits the earth. Dr. Seeker plays along, showing her that the coordinates are apparently locked in place and can't be changed. However, when she leaves the room, he tells the tourists that he's hacked the system and immediately changes them to the late Cretaceous, reassuring them that everything will be fine! They'll definitely rescue the Iguanadon before the meteor hits! No problem!

The tourists then leave the pre-show room, proceeding down a staircase to the loading area. The tourists board the Time Rover, setting off through the time tunnel that takes them back to the Cretaceous period. Once there, they're guided by Seeker as they navigate the jungle to look for the Iguanadon. They come across a few harmless and interesting dinosaurs, although none of them are the Iguanadon Seeker is looking for. But then!!! A homing signal appears and Seeker goes after it, but it's not the Iguanadon! It's actually a fucking Carnotaurus. It roars at the tourists and they quickly speed away in the Rover, jerking left, right, left, right, and then-

They come to a stop, finding themselves near a Saltasaurus. A completely harmless dinosaur, thankfully, but Seeker decides that they need to keep moving, worried that they won't make it back before the meteor strikes if they don't. They go through a clearing and after having a near death encounter with a Pterodactyl, their vehicle loses traction. They have another encounter with the Carnotaurus a few seconds later, which chases them for a short while, but they are able to escape unharmed. They continue on and Seeker attempts to abort the mission, but is unable to. There's yet another encounter with the Carnotaurus, which rears its head up and roars at the tourists.

After escaping, eventually come to another path and encounter the Iguanadon that Seeker was after, but Seeker decides it's not worth it and attempts to abort the mission once more, as there are only seconds before the meteor hits! And they might not make it! Seeker tells the tourists to brace themselves! There's a LOUD boom and crash as the meteor hits and illuminates the area, YET AGAIN REVEALING THE CARNOTAURUS! IT LUNGES TOWARD THEM, AND--

Darkness.

But... what's this? The lights come on and they're suddenly in the time tunnel again, as Seeker reassures them that he totally knew they were gonna make it. He thanks the tourists for all their help informs them that the Iguanadon made it back with them, and that he needs to go find it before security does. He leaves them like the asshole he is.
