However, the park's popularity starts to drop. To get more people to visit, the staff decide to show off a brand new dinosaur. This dinosaur is called the 'Indominus Rex'. It's a special hybrid dinosaur, meaning it was created by mixing the DNA of different animals.
But the Indominus Rex is very smart and dangerous. It manages to escape from its special enclosure. Once it's loose, it causes a lot of chaos and destruction across the entire park.
