Jurassic Park

**Jurassic Park** was a safari theme park and zoo created by InGen on Isla Nublar, a remote island off the west coast of Costa Rica. The park featured dinosaurs as attractions, which were cloned in special facilities on nearby Isla Sorna and brought to the park. While the park was planned to be opened in 1994, it was abandoned in the wake of the disastrous incident in 1993, during which numerous containment anomalies resulted in several deaths.

The park was planned to become a franchise, with a sister park planned on an island near Europe, somewhere in the Azores to be exact, which would have housed dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures that were on InGen's list. The park was set to open with the basic dinosaur tour, which was in-progress when the Isla Nublar Incident began. The other rides, attractions, hotels, shopping districts, and dining locations were, likely due to delays in the park's development, scheduled to come online within six-to-twelve months after the park was to be opened.

After the incident, the park was abandoned, though it would be replaced over a decade later with the opening of Jurassic World, though it too was forced to close after another disastrous incident in 2015. The remains of the park were destroyed by Mount Sibo, when it erupted in 2018.

## Dinosaurs in the park

All the dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals that InGen cloned were probably planned to be exhibited at Jurassic Park at some point. This is a list of all the animals that were probably present at the park during the Jurassic Park Incident:

* *Baryonyx* (Was planned with 5 individuals already being created on Isla Sorna and were confirmed to be shipped to be the island)
* *Brachiosaurus* (6)
* *Compsognathus* (28)
* *Corythosaurus* (Was planned, embryos were in the Cold Storage Room, but the genome, being 97% complete, wasn't completed before the incident on Isla Nublar)
* *Dilophosaurus* (5)
* *Gallimimus* (24)
* *Herrerasaurus* (4; additional embryos had 60% of genome sequenced before they were destroyed)
* *Metriacanthosaurus* (71% of its genome was completed)
* *Parasaurolophus* (15)
* *Proceratosaurus* (Paddock was planned, but all embryos were destroyed)
* *Segisaurus* (48% of its genome was completed)
* *Stegosaurus* (11 were on Isla Sorna at the time and embryos were present in the Cold Storage Room)
* *Triceratops* (3)
* *Tyrannosaurus rex* (1, with 1 more planned to be added)
* *Velociraptor* (8, however all but 3 were killed by the beginning of the first movie)

### Planned Attractions

According to information from the Dinosaur Protection Group, these prehistoric creatures were having the DNA sequence of their genome being completed before the incident of Isla Nublar took place; possibly implying that they were planned to future attractions. The exact location of where their DNA was being extracted from is still a mystery; it could have either taken place on Isla Nublar or Isla Sorna. Also, it should be noted that InGen did indeed complete the DNA sequencing of some species of dinosaurs on Site B. It should be noted that eventually, these creatures were exhibited in Jurassic World. The creatures can be divided into two different categories: those that had their DNA sequencing completed at 100% and those that were still being prepared.

#### Already Completed

These dinosaurs had their DNA sequencing completed at 100% and were most likely planned for public exhibition at Jurassic Park. However, the Jurassic Park Incident and Hurricane Clarissa ended those plans permanently. It should be noted that they were on Isla Sorna at the time of the incident.

* *Carnotaurus* (2 were on Isla Sorna at the time)
* *Mamenchisaurus* (4 were on Isla Sorna at the time)
* *Edmontosaurus* (4 were on Isla Sorna at the time)
* *Microceratus* (22 were on Isla Sorna at the time)
* *Pachycephalosaurus* (9 were on Isla Sorna at the time)
* *Pteranodon* (10 were on Isla Sorna at the time)

#### DNA Sequencing in Process

These dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures were initially planned to be on display at Jurassic Park, but those plans were put on hiatus following the 1993 incident and Hurricane Clarissa. However, the Masrani Corporation would eventually finish what InGen started during the 2000s for their own theme park: Jurassic World.

* *Allosaurus* (genome was 12% complete)
* *Ankylosaurus* (genome was 91% complete)
* *Apatosaurus* (genome was 57% complete)
* *Dimorphodon* (genome was 36% complete)
* *Euoplocephalus* (genome was 9% complete)
* *Pachyrhinosaurus* (genome was 8% complete)
* *Suchomimus* (genome was 75% complete)

## Park Problems

Jurassic Park, like Disneyland and Walt Disney World before it, was a one-of-a-kind attraction, and as a result it had a great deal of problems that the developers had either failed or were unable to foresee.

* Ray Arnold states that in addition to the above, they have all the problems of a major theme park and animal zoo.
* *Triceratops* and several herbivores getting blisters on their tongues and diarrhea because they had eaten the West Indian lilac as that species of plant wasn't at the time of the dinosaurs.
* The Nedry Virus (Whte rbt.obj) which started the Jurassic Park Incident.
* Too much automation, Electric Fences, Circuit Breaker flaws, no backup generators, and Raptor Pen placement.
* *Velociraptors* quarantined because of The Big One.
* Jungle River Cruise was unsafe as it passed through the *Dilophosaur* paddock. The dinosaurs used their dense forested enclosure as their advantage to surprise and attack visitors.

## Fate

Following the Isla Nublar Incident of 1993 and the deaths of several people, the park in its unfinished state was abandoned by InGen and the dinosaurs left to their own devices. When Masrani Global began construction of Jurassic World in 2002, the new park was built in the southern part of Isla Nublar, and the old park in the northern part of the island was designated a "Restricted Area". After 22 years of unchecked growth, most of Jurassic Park was reclaimed by the jungle. The Visitor's Center in particular was barely visible in the thick jungle, its famous double doors being the only distinguishing feature. Inside, debris littered the building, with the dome cracked in places and the *T. rex* skeleton crumbled in pieces.

The abandoned Visitor's Center suffered further damage during the Jurassic World Incident, after the Indominus rex breached into the old building while chasing Owen Grady and Claire Dearing.

Darius, Kenji, and Yasmina, all three of whom are campers from Camp Cretaceous that have been stranded since the 2015 Incident, encounter and go inside the old Visitors Center of the original park. The old Visitors Center is very damaged, most likely because of the 2015 incident. It is revealed that Blue is nesting in the old Visitors Center. Blue chases the three out. Later, the six campers of Camp Cretaceous are attacked by one of the Scorpius Rex and chased into the old Visitors Center. At one point during the attack, they attempt to hide in the old kitchen, only to be attacked by the Scorpius, which is similar to Lex and Tim hiding and being attacked by two Velociraptors in this same kitchen at least 20 years prior. Ultimately, the six campers of Camp Cretaceous destroy the old visitors center, resulting in it collapsing and killing both the Scorpius's.

Any remains of Jurassic Park were likely destroyed by pyroclastic flows during the eruption of Mount Sibo in 2018.
