One thing to think about. I really doubt if Such a park was made a reality that they would spend extra money to get a private island for it cause they could make more money having it on the mainland. Less expensive for people to travel there so more park goers.
But why would any real world company care to put that much extra mo eh into when they are gonna have the same security and containment systems that they are sure will work either way?
They would've used had to spend money on better security and containment if it was on mainland as opposed to an island. Remember the line "Sparred no expense"
Any real world company would probably use that tag line without it being true however if they were on an island they would still need to use the best possible containment so they don't get out anyways. It would by the same system cause it would be the best they could possibly get ahold of.
But the corps wouldn't care if Timmy gets eaten. The amount of money would could make on the mainland with having people within driving distance would outweigh the risk of having people die.
I'd rather keep myself in a good mood for now, so I'll just take your word for it.
...fuck it, we're going to take over the world anyway, might as well make a dinosaur theme park
But I already died once before, and I have no meat for the dinos to eat. I can perform for your entertainment, it wouldn't be the first time singing from a cage. Yohohoho!
I'm not sure I've ever tried juggling, let alone bowling balls, but I could probably learn. Yohohoho! Not to mention despite being a skeleton I am rather strong. So long as you leave my hair alone, feed me, and provide milk if I'm injured we should be good.
awesome. I once saw one during an internship and amber preserves stuff so well there were still hairs on its body. Aesthetics + paleontology = happiness.
Hey-o sorry I couldn't answer earlier, I didn't have internet access. Technically I'm not a palaeontologist but I do have a master's degree in palaeontology, which allowed me to discover pretty cool stuff but didn't give me a job (sadly), so I picked back other studies and now I'm studying Cultural Heritage and museology... and I'm currently doing another internship in a palaontology museum!
My studies were focused on marine invertebrae, mostly Jurassic-Cretacean but I did internships about insects in amber (it was the best), micropalaeontology (lol bad choice) and one about fossils used by prehistorical men (fucking great).
You?
Ah, it seems we have the same issue with the internets :')
I did BSc Human Life Science (Majored in Physiology and Psychology) then a Honours degree in Psychology, but I loved collecting strange little dead things and rocks, and when I met my boyfriend I found out you can actually study it (Geology), but I was already enrolled in my degree, so then I just attended a bunch of his classes and practicals and later even field trips, after which I applied for the museum-baed internship and asked the palaeontology curator if I may work with her, so now I'm learning how to prep fossils and do museum-stuff :D
At what museum were you based? :)
Shame man, fossil prep is really cool, definitely try to do it if you can. I know we have people who volunteer for experience like once a week, maybe see if you can do so at a museum or resesrch institution in the area.
I can send you some documents and readings I've found, if that'll help. There's also this really cool website that has a bunch of interesting things and tips how to collect and prep fossils, I just need to get the link again.
I'm not one of the super magicians yet, still training, but it's definitely getting there ^^
If I ever come to France and you're still there, I would love to visit! I'm in South Africa, at the Iziko South African Museum (it's what Iziko's Natural History musuem is called), and if you are ever around, you are more than welcome to come visit.
Ugh that's frustrating the only link I find is from the American Museum of National History and they just say it's from Dominican Republic without any further information on the spider and no link about the fucking research that was done on it.
(mind my spelling)

My first internships (research) were at the uni's lab, and the one I'm currently doing (with the public this time) is at the Paléospace (Normandy, France). If you're in the area...
