The original finale was still set to take place in the Parks Visitors Centre and have Dr. Grant save Tim and Lex from the raptors by using the massive T. rex skeleton to crush the pair of predators.

Emboldened by the early tests and assembled footage, Spielberg and his crew decided to rely completely on CGI for the final sequence rather than combine models and animatronics with computer graphics as they had done throughout shooting. Any fears over the ambitious decision were soon laid to rest, with Spielberg remarking, After a while we were shooting this thing like wed been doing CG movies for ten years.
