In all seriousness it'll probably be a Deinonychus or Utahraptor.
Tad redundant given that Jurassic Park's raptors are sized fairly closely to the latter.
A pack of Allosaurus might fit the "force to be reckoned with" bill, and fits into the recent(ish) hot topic of giant predators living and potentially hunting in groups. The debate's mostly concerning tyrannosaurids, but of course we already have one of those.
Regarding tame dinosaurs, many modern predators can react passively or even affectionately towards humans if hand reared from infancy by someone who knows what they're doing, and pretty much anything can be trained to perform basic tasks. For Jurassic Park though, it'd be a
very fine line to tread and I'm not sure I'd want to see it.
The behaviour of the two baby raptors in the first book is very endearing though. It could be a touchstone for that plot element.
