>Build an amusement park/zoo on an island hours away from Costa Rica by boat, and there’s no airport to reduce travel time by flying directly
It doesn’t matter what the attractions are when only 0.001% of the population can visit. He was never making his money back.
>>
>>220178196
It wasn't open yet.
He was still getting it funded. The whole point of getting Drs Grant and Satler to sign off on it was so he could get more funding.
Such funding would absolutely be used to make entrance more streamlined.
>a plane to Costa Rica then a boatride
People would absolutely do that shit for the premier theme park to see dinosaurs. People do that already to go to Disneyworld.

I'd ride a boat for a few hours to see living dinosaurs, wouldn't you?

if only there was an established way to ferry tourists onto a small island
>>
>>220178196
That's a good point because of course luxury resorts are not a thing in the real world.

Retard

>>220178196
InGen was already an established company that was probably already making trillions. He just wanted a bit of fun, spared no expense either.
>>
>>220178196
Just a reminder $50k/year was a massive amount of funding in 1993. Enough to pay a respected Dr, his nurse, and all the other expenses involved in paleotology

People travel significantly farther and in worse conditions just to go visit family or go to Disney world you fucking moron

How come not a single person has mentioned the very obvious product placement for BARBASOL in this movie?
>>
>>220178196
In the book the park is just a way to get more investor.

It wasn't a very good product placement becaue I never bothered rrading hhe brsnd of the shaving cream.
>>
>>220178196
I always wanted to have an island like this that was a retirement retreat and day spa for child traffickers.
>>
>>220180143
I legit didn’t know until your post that that’s a real product, I thought they made it up for the movie.

He probably chose Costa Rica because it's a corrupt backwater that will allow him to evade basic saftey and labor regulations. Crighton always thinks through the fine details in his books.
>>
In retrospect the little bit of the park they had built was definitely too small. That visitor's center alone couldn't take hundreds of people a day. And the whole DNA presentation thing, how was that going to work? Very few seats and why would all the scientists be there for the show forever? Clearly all of this was just a facade for the little group.

Carnival cruises stop there. Problem solved.
>>
>>220181475
The initial opening was going to be for only the very rich with hammonds everybody can come speech being for later likely after the development of the other islands and initial success with a capacity of a few hundred guests at a time.
>>
>>220178426
He outright states during the “chili and seabass” scene that he doesn’t want to cater exclusively to the super-rich.

I’m not poor, but I still woudn’t be able to afford a Hawaiian vacation without going into debt, let alone “magical dinosaur island”.
>>
>>220180143
I both knew that Barbasol was a brand and noticed the product placement as a 10-year-old child.
>>
>>220180806
what danger for god?
since god has the power
>>
>>220181632
That wasn't in the book. He just wanted money in the book. Spielberg changed the character to make him a more tragic figure of somebody who thought they could play god for good.
>>
>>220181677
They dressed hammond in white specifically because he was playing god.
>>
>>220178299
They're not real dinosaurs, it's a freak sideshow with naked chickens (men)

This. It was not open yet. Also fuck the arrival by plane you would use boats. Hell make it a cruise you can fit a fuck load of people on those cruise ships and they comes with their own bedrooms. They could cruise ship to the island disembark daily for preset tours of the park sleep on the boat every night and fuck off after partying on the boat.
>>
>>220178589

Except for his IT staff and it fucked him. Nothing is as good as the first as maybe second movie. People miss the fact that this was not a mishap everything was doomed from the start. He also was not evil he wanted to create something good but flew too close to the sun.
>>
>>220181766
>sleep on the boat every night
the island has a hotel
the climax of the book mostly takes place within it
>>
>>220180143

I noticed it but dont think it was very good placement in terms of brand management.
>>
>>220181802

Ya but you could get way more people on the boat. Or build a bunch of hotels. One isnt enough. Maybe there is space.
>>
>>220181801
I think it's funny how he thought programming the control software ui would be the hardest part when they had a fuckton of networking that would have had to be done with a bunch of custom embedded systems all over the place in an age when the ethernet cables of the time had a max length of 100 meters and people were still using fucking hubs not switches. And for 250m you would be limited to 5mbps. Maybe if they spared no expense they would run tat8 fiber but there would be so much cabling logistics alone that samuel l jackson and wayne knight would have never been able to do it without a fucking team of cable pullers constantly maintaining and troubleshooting physically. It would have been a fucking mess and would have failed physically far before nedry would have activated his backdoor.

>>220178196
He was a greedy bastard in the book. The attorney in the movie was a combination of the old man's greed and the coward publicist from the book. Book attorney was actually pretty cool and brave and didn't deserve the dressing down Grant gave him near the end.

This. I think it was semi confirmed in John Hammond's memoirs in Trespasser.

I'm more pissed off by Nedry's retarded plan. If he succeeded, everyone would know he was responsible and he would have ended up with an internation arrest warrant

The seats to 'go into space' are already booked and have a waiting list and those are pretty expensive. Rich people will do things for exclusivity.

Are you saying he wasn't serious about a "coupon day"?
