Top 10 Problems in Running a Jurassic Park


this video is brought to you by Jurassic
world sure it sounds like a cool idea
but the obstacles would be giant well
they got in their King Kong welcome to
watchmojo.com park fences are
electrified though right that’s right
but they never take the same place twice
they were testing the fences but
weaknesses systematically they remember

for this list we’re taking a look at all
the hurdles the company would face in
opening a real-life Jurassic Park or
Jurassic world we’ve learned more from
genetics in the past decade than a
century of digging up bones so when you
say you want to sponsor an attraction
what do you have in mind number 10
finding Dino DNA just one drop of your
blood contains billions of strands of
DNA the building blocks of life you
can’t have a Jurassic theme park without
dinosaurs and you can’t have dinosaurs
without Dino DNA in the original
Jurassic Park it’s explained that
scientists were able to obtain the DNA
of dinosaurs from mosquitoes that had
been fossilized in amber tracking down a
dinosaur’s genetic code isn’t quite as
easy as mr. DNA makes it sound but even
just digging for those elusive
mosquitoes and amber would require an
insane amount of labour time and money
plus acquiring the blood sample would
only be the first step in an extremely
complex process it takes two years to
look at the entire DNA strand it’s that
long number nine
keeping the iPhone generation
entertained she’s a little shy so be
we know what you’re thinking
we’ve been eager to see a living
brontosaurus or Tyrannosaurus for over
65 million years so how could people
grow bored with dinosaurs let’s be
honest though humans have short
attention spans especially in an era
dominated by screens and social media in
Jurassic world Park attendance has
dipped because dinosaurs have become
run-of-the-mill after years of operation
people might be awestruck the first time
a dinosaur stomps by but after two or
three times some will be more interested
in whatever’s trending ontwitter as is
the case with any amusement park you’d
need new attractions to keep visitors
coming back well we wouldn’t recommend
creating a dinosaur you can’t handle
like the indominus rex number 8 keeping
guests from veering off into danger see
the tyrannosaurus it doesn’t have any
set patterns and/or park schedules it
shouldn’t take more than a danger sign
to tell visitors that dinosaurs may be
inclined to step on charge at or eat
whomever enters their pens given the
number of people who’ve actually
ventured into zoo exhibits however it’s
safe to assume that some visitors would
treat a jurassic theme park as their own
personal playground jumping into a lion
pit is bad enough but imagine how much
worse it would be if the pit were full
of raptors it doesn’t help that in
Jurassic Park
guests can hop out of jeeps mid-tour and
in Jurassic world they’re able to take
control of gyruss fears unless everybody
takes the rules to heart the dinosaurs
might not be the only ones who require
number seven training dinosaurs okay
eyes on me a trainer at a Jurassic theme
park would require not only vast
knowledge of animal behavior but also
specialized training to face such
massive predators former naval officer
Owen Grady successfully manages to train
for Raptors developing a bond with each
of them and becoming the Alpha of course
when the indominus enters the mix it
doesn’t take long for the pack to turn
on the humans even if a trainer manages
to earn a dinosaur’s trust and respect
these are still unpredictable creatures
that can turn hostile in the blink of an
eye in other words this ain’t a job for
your friendly neighborhood zookeeper
simply finding people willing and able
to take on this life-threatening gig
would be a challenge in itself
can I number six
animal activists as a matter of fact I
do have the dinosaurs best interests in
mind I’m paleo veterinarian if animal
rights groups protest zoos and aquariums
you’d better believe they’d have some
passionate feelings about a jurassic
theme park – you’re looking to diet no
we do locking up dinosaurs and
displaying them for the amusement of
consumers is already bound to push a few
buttons the fact that some of these
dinosaurs need to eat other animals to
survive would only make the park more
controversial activists may take a page
from John Hammond himself arguing that
dinosaurs require our absence rather
than our help these creatures require to
survive no time a dinosaur theme park
would need a strong PR campaign tight
security and large open enclosures for
the animals well-being number five
feeding dinosaurs you can eat the goat
as mentioned before there’s always a
possibility that somebody will hop the
fence and become the T Rex’s new
favorite meal even if you prevent the
dinosaurs from snacking on the guests
you’re gonna need a lot of goats to keep
every carnivore well-fed which is both
costly and obviously not great for the
goats the herbivores could pose a
problem as well since you’d have to keep
enough grass and trees growing all over
the island park employees would also
have to closely monitor what the
dinosaurs ate to make sure they didn’t
get sick and maintained a proper diet
you know they’re toxic but the animals
don’t eat it you sure number four
dealing with power outages before
Jurassic Park even opens to the public
Dennis Nedry dooms the project by
shutting the power down in addition to
stopping the tore jeeps in their tracks
this also deactivates the electrical
fences resulting in a disastrous Dino
breakout Hammond realizes the park
relied too heavily on automation as it
only takes one disgruntled employee to
throw a wrench into the system human
error
aside a bad storm could always kick in
and cause an electrical outage to
prevent a similar catastrophe you’ll
need reliable backup generators
employees on standby to escort guests to
safety and more than one person who can
get the park back online I can’t get
Jurassic Park back online without
number three having an evacuation plan
evacuate the island we’d never reopen no
matter how foolproof you think the park
is you have to accept the fact that all
hell could break loose at any time so be
prepared for the worst
surround the island with enough ferries
and helicopters to get people off the
island at a moment’s notice
build multiple evacuation centers that
can hold all those visitors and are
strong enough to keep rampaging
dinosaurs out before anyone even enters
the park make them watch a video
detailing what to do in case of an
emergency
sure your Park wouldn’t seem like the
safest place to visit from a public
relations perspective however you’ll
have a way bigger PR nightmare on your
hands without a proper escape plan I’m
going to close everything north of the
resort this is a phase one real-world
bring everyone in this is a Phase one
real world that repeats of Phase one
bring everyone back in number two high
costs absolutely spectacular design
spared no expense John Hammond claims he
spared no expense but exactly how much
would it cost to make a Jurassic theme
park a reality on top of cloning costs
you might want to build your Park on a
remote island to avoid dinosaurs
escaping into human habitats and Islands
don’t exactly come cheap
there’s also the matter of paying
numerous employees ranging from dinosaur
caretakers to scientists to gift shop
clerks
not to mention lawyers who are ready to
defend the park in court even if it
speaking of which given the risk of
accidents insurance rates are gonna be
through the roof
you’d have to charge a pretty penny to
keep a place like this operational and
profitable we can charge anything we
want two thousand and eight ten thousand
a day and people will pay it before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions
hey what that touch didn’t touch
anything we stopped I can’t hear you
were in the hamster ball okay Zach
listen to me hello
these creatures were here before us and
if we’re not careful they’re gonna be
number one containing the dinosaurs
if there’s one thing the history of
evolution has taught us that life will
not be contained life breaks free it
expensed in your territories and it
crashes through barriers painfully maybe
even dangerously in the Jurassic movies
the fatal flaw in each park is that the
dinosaurs just won’t stay contained
whether it’s due to design flaws poor
security a lack of communication or
angry employees the dinosaurs always
find a way to get out and eat people
it’s a worst-case nightmare scenario but
preventing it would also be the biggest
challenge especially with a clever girl
like the indominus rex around once the
dinosaurs were roaming free you might as
well give them the keys to the park
granted with the right people running
the show and the right system you may
think everything is under control but
when it comes to Mother Nature control
can just be an illusion are you a fan of
the Jurassic franchise you can get the
entire collection from Universal home
entertainment on blu-ray DVD and digital
and be sure to check out these other jurassic videos
