I recall it well, I worked in a movie theater when it came out, we had a new [then] high-end sound system installed in the largest theater ahead of the release. The scene where you first hear the T-Rex walking, where the water glass is shaking, the low-end (bass) from that would carry to the other three theaters to the point we got complaints.
Man this movie was my childhood; I remember the lead up to it; the marketing was so mysterious to me and I couldn't quite get what it was all about... I was 7 at the time so sue me lol... Got my dad to take me about 10 times that summer and I had ALL the toys...
^ No youre right there was a load of secrecy, because they were hiding the special effects for as long as possible, which were ground breaking at the time.
Man I used to hate those 2 kids in the first movie, but I have mellowed towards them over the years. Don't find them NEARLY as annoying as I did back in the day.

lol thats probably because you compare them to all the lame kids in the sequels
ahh ok I thought it was just me being too young to remember the marketing fully, what I recall most was the McDonalds commercials honestly and there was no real indication about what the film was really all about, also those groundbreaking effects STILL put some modern SFX to shame; now thats a great great accomplishment if you ask me
My dad, younger brother, and I went to catch this opening weekend I believe. The T-Rex dam sequence and the raptors in the kitchen...terrifying. Incredible movie, prolly on my top ten, and might still be Spielberg's best film IMO.
And yes, the marketing was extremely well-done for this movie. These days, you would have had the plot spelled out and then the T-Rex roaring at the museum to finish the trailer with an Inception-style "BWAAAAAAAAAH".
I was out camping with my family as a kid. The second day was a massive storm, and it rained all day. My dad took us all to see Jurassic Park.. Best camping day of all time.

I recall that, which I somewhat miss, you went into the theater only knowing the basics, compared to now where the trailers usually spoil the plot for you.
