The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

The way in

Based on everything that has been seen in the movies and tv show, how many entry ways are there to the Great Valley? I’m willing to bet there are several small ones, but the entryway used by the gang in the original film, based on proportions, looks like it would be too small for an adult longneck. Not to mention Ali’s herd seems to enter the Valley as a large group. I think there might be a large entrance somewhere hidden that’s at least big enough to fit a longneck. Thoughts?

Great Valley entrance and their number is one of great mysteries for me.

Judging by movies, there're couple huge entrances, and endless amount of small or hidden entrances. Some of them are small so only small leafeaters/eggstealers/sharpteeth or children can pass through, if they will be able to find the path in the first place and bypass various obstacles...

The main question for me is how these passes are guarded from sharpteeth.

I would guess that the smaller passages are difficult to find and generally remain unguarded. This might explain why egg-thieves and other small theropods are able to get in, albeit in small numbers. I have not seen all the movies, and am mostly a LBT1 purist. But nonetheless, I like to think there is a bigger entrance, large enough to fit a longneck, that leads to a winding cave gradually slopping downward through a mountain and widening at the end, opening up into the valley and that is the entrance most dinosaurs use. I also think it’s the one all the carnivores are looking for. I’m thinking that entryway would be located on the side of a mountain with a pathway winding its way down through a small mountain range with the mountains themselves providing total cover from sight. As for protection, I’d say the cave entrance on the mountain is guarded by a series of ankylosaurs working in shifts.
