Many business-minded people who saw Jurassic Park would see the enormous business potential of putting up a real Jurassic Park that will feature real dinosaurs and real prehistoric creatures. But what would it cost to put up a real one? A video from Fandango's Movieclips provides a rundown of the major park's costs and determined that putting up and operating a Jurassic Park would cost $23,432,400,000.
In a report from Business Insider, the largest budget for a Jurassic park project would be assigned for the two islands, where the dinosaurs will be raised and where the theme park will be erected. Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna, which are located off the coast of Costa Rica, are approximated to cost $10,000,000,000.
Another obvious cost would involve the cloning of dinosaurs. According to a real life company that clones dogs, cloning would cost $150,000 per animal. Cloning 50 dinosaurs plus pertinent research works would cost around $8.5 million. The excavation of ancient mosquito and the extraction the dinosaur DNA is estimated to cost about $9 million.
Construction of the park is pegged at $1.5 billion, which is based on the construction cost for the largest theme parks in the world. Personnel to be employed such as scientists, caretakers, and lawyers would cost $7.9 million. The recurring annual operating cost was rated at $11.7 billion, following the cost of operating Disneyland.
Over all, the initial capital investment would be $23.5 billion plus an $11.9 billion of yearly recurring costs. That may be a lot of capital outlay for a theme park but it can easily be raised by the top 10 US Mega Corporations which individually has over 100 billion in revenues.
Putting up a real Jurassic Park is financially feasible. With the advancement of science and genetic engineering, creating dinosaurs is also theoretically possible. But after four episodes of Jurassic Park films, business men should better think twice of making Jurassic a reality.
