This looks amazing. My biggest worry is the kids. Kids in predominantly adult settings in movies suck. They're usually written by Hollywood types who can't write interesting kids and make them as annoying, whining and obnoxious as possible as well as been responsible for everything that goes wrong.
I actually don't see the need to have kids in it anyway. It features dinosaurs. Kids will love the movie regardless and, anyway, when I was a kid and watched the first Jurasscic Park I didn't want to be the bratty kid when I played Jurassic Park with my friends. I wanted to be Dr Grant. I hated Tim and Lex.

just for shits and giggles, they should have the t-rex, dilophosaurus, gallimimus, triceratops, etc. watch Jurassic Park III and complain about how the spinosaurus and pteranodon took their jobs

Here's the problem: unless the plot's structured to where a kid can hold their own, like the X-Men movies or Hunger Games (hell, or Big Hero 6), there isn't a lot for a preteen or adolescent character to do in a predominately adult action oriented setting, outside of screaming and running. But...a Jurassic Park movie told from the perspective of a kid visitor during a rampaging dino attack, that could work as a survival story and a character study.

Rumor that the Raptor from the first movie would be in this one too

And that's why kids should just be left out, they're not needed. I know there's the argument that kids need someone to relate too but really, I think that arguments bollocks. There were no kids in the original star wars and kids loved that. No kids in Avengers or Spider-man and kids love those movies. When I was a kid watching the original Jurassic Park and later playing Jurassic Park with my friends, none of us wanted to be the kids. We all wanted to be Dinosaurs, Dr Grant, Malcolm or Muldoon. I think most movies that shoehorn a kid into them would work just as well, if not better without.

But that also disregards a good portion of young adult fiction, of which underage protagonists are kind of a staple.

Largely because with kids in books we don't have to put up with bad acting and annoying whining. Written whining is more tolerable than actual whining. For the record I do actually like kids. My class are all between 8-10 years old and they're awesome. It's just Hollywood always seems to give kids in movies the worst and most annoying kid traits such as whining, obnoxiousness, annoyingness and idiocy rather than the endearing kid traits like playfulness, cuteness, innocence, fun etc. There have been kid characters I've enjoyed in movies.

The kids will be fine as long as they aren't killing lethal carnivores via gymnastics.

Yeah, when I think "well rounded kid character", Harry Potter comes to mind rather than Tim and Lex.
