* KingOfTheDinosaurs:
** The various ''T. rex''-centric modes generally show it in a fearsome light. The first mode on default settings, "Feed T-Rex", depicts it eating a goat via SecondPersonAttack, then later modes escalate to things like chasing after the player's Jeep in "T-Rex Chase" and terrorizing the employees in "T-Rex Encounter".
** The T-Rex Paddock is one of the most difficult paddocks to complete in the game thanks to how aggressive it is, so successfully capturing it will instantly award an extra ball and extend all the game timers by 8 seconds for the rest of the game.

** There’s also some allusions to the original film: Dennis Nedry’s [[FingerWag “Ah-ah-ah!”]] screen shows up as a tilt warning and for [[UpToEleven every switch hit]] during "Invalid Frenzy", and using the ball save occasionally prompts a female voice to say "I think we're back in business!" (a quote from Ellie after restoring the park's power).

In late 2021, Stern announced a "Pin" edition meant specifically for use in homes. It is noticeably stripped down from the regular version of the game, featuring a different layout and less toys, but retains many of the primary features (CHAOS letters, a T. rex head, and so on). Notably, it's also the first commercially available pinball game designed by prominent streamer and Stern employee Jack Danger.

''Jurassic Park'' is a 2019 [[PhysicalPinballTables pinball machine]] designed by Keith Elwin (a professional pinball player who had previously done ''Pinball/IronMaidenLegacyOfTheBeast'') and released by Creator/{{Stern}}. It is the third pinball table based on the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise, after [[Pinball/JurassicParkDataEast the 1993 Data East game]] and Creator/{{Sega}}'s ''Pinball/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' (1997).

** Alternately, successfully ''completing'' the three prerequisite modes and "Escape Nublar" will immediately start "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth", a 6-ball multiball that invariably runs for 60 seconds (with unlimited ball save). This mode also concludes with a NonStandardGameOver once time runs out.

* NonStandardGameOver: Finishing "Escape Nublar" (or "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth", if you qualify for it) automatically ends the game, win or lose. Somewhat justified, since the mode concludes with a volcano erupting and undoubtedly wiping out any remaining life on Isla Nublar.

** "Invalid Frenzy" was added as a hidden fourth Control Mode in a post-release update. It's a multiball where the player must trigger enough switch hits to light the jackpot; upon collecting it, it relights for a jackpot worth thrice as much.

Primarily based on [[Film/JurassicPark the original film]], the player witnesses the beginnings of the titular park. Things go awry when rogue programmer Dennis Nedry deploys a virus that shuts down the park's systems, allowing all of its dinosaurs to run amok. You're tasked with tracking down and re-containing all of them, as well as rescuing the employees threatened by the various species the park has to offer. Along the way, you'll have the chance at obtaining Fossils (along with the benefits they bestow) and getting into various multiball modes recreating familiar scenes from the film – including the ever-present, iconic ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. After getting through all of them, the finale has the player make a bid to escape Isla Nublar before its volcano erupts.

* DevelopersForesight: King of the Island Multiball has a different intro if the player captures a ''T. rex'' (alongside the ''Spinosaurus'' required to light the mode in the first place).

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: The various ''T. rex''-centric modes generally show it in a fearsome light. They start with a depiction of it eating a goat via SecondPersonAttack, then escalate to things like chasing after the player's Jeep and wrecking the park's museum.

** The game has a few allusions to Creator/DataEast’s [[Pinball/JurassicParkDataEast original pinball table]], including the T-Rex toy, the "Smart Missile" feature (albeit in name only), the CHAOS SpellingBonus, and the phrasing of "Raptor Tri-Ball" (originally an attempt to [[WritingAroundTrademarks write around]] Creator/WilliamsElectronics' trademark on the word "multiball").

* TyrannosaurusRex: There are four modes dedicated to it. Furthermore, the most prominent playfield toy is a ''T. rex'' head in the upper left. On Premium and Limited Edition models, it can move and eat the ball (to later dispense back onto the playfield).

** C-H-A-O-S lights Chaos Multiball. Notably, each letter is lit in sequence.

* CameraAbuse: Several animations have dinosaurs attacking the camera.

* ArrangeMode: Holding both flipper buttons when beginning a game starts the "Escape Nublar Challenge", where the player immediately begins in the titular WizardMode.

* LuckBasedMission: During "Escape Nublar", chance is the only factor in whether a particular path will be safe or not. That being said, while it's very rare to hit a bad path early in the mode, that likelyhood increases the further you are into it.

* PaintingTheMedium: [[https://shop.sternpinball.com/products/jurassic-park-shooter-knob An official add-on]] replaces the normal plunger handle with an amber globe containing a mosquito.

* {{Combos}}: There are eleven specific sequences of shots that are recognized as "DNA Combos", which award at least a million points and add quite a bit to your end-of-ball bonus.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Since it's possible to fail to achieve a fossil and thus [[PermanentlyMissableContent lose the opportunity to ever get it again]], there are six "wild card" fossils that will award one from the lowest available set.

* LuckBasedMission: During "Escape Nublar", chance is the only factor in whether a particular path will be safe or not.

* NonStandardGameOver: Finishing "Escape Nublar" (or "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth", if you qualify for it) automatically ends the game, win or lose. Somewhat justified, since Escape Nublar depicts that the volcano has already erupted, and there *are* no more dinosaurs.

** The ''actual'' wizard mode, lit by starting every mode above sans "Invalid Frenzy", is "Escape Nublar". There are two primary phases – one where the player must make every possible rescue (which is more difficult if they haven't previously captured the associated dinosaur species), and one where they make their escape by heading back to the entrance of the playfield map. You are given three "trucks" for this mode, with their fuel steadily depleting every second (with certain shots refueling it). Getting to the end leads to a final helipad hurry-up that gives a possibly massive bonus. However the mode ends, the player receives a NonStandardGameOver.
