Overall I liked this adventure a lot. It was very fun to run. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because I have very harsh words about the betting system in act 1.
I had a problem with the betting on the first 2 dinosaur races. I wish they'd done a straight forward percentile table. I ended up starting from the top, intending to just roll until somebody one. I didn't like that because it felt very unlikely for the last one to even have a chance of rolling. As it turned out, the very likely thing happened and the first one won. I ended up simplifying it to say that by the time they were ready and betting the first race was done to avoid dealing with the table more.
The fact that the same terrible table is in the ToA book isn't an excuse. It's bad there too. It seems like someone wanted something complex in ToA and somebody wanted it simple and they "simplified" it by printing half of it instead of actually printing a simple betting system--and then a piece of that mess got copied to this adventure.
