Why would Hammond build a theme park on an island and not on the mainland?

>have to ferry (or fly) in guests and employees, raising costs for yourself and park guests
>have to provide some sort of housing for employees, some leave but others stay
>have to ferry in supplies
>don't have a parking lot to get money from park guests

    Specifically to keep the dinosaurs isolated from the wider environment. Jesus Christ, pay attention.

      but shouldnt they have assumed that a little girl who was a clone would press the button to release all the dinos in a later film?
      In hindsight, it's rather obvious that it would happen...

    Bros I love this building so much! I just like to go to the Jurassic Park Discovery Center in Orlando and chill on the balcony getting drunk and pretending the park is real. Sucks they built the roller coaster right in front, but it's not going to stop me and my over active imagination.

      They nailed the theme park feel in the film for sure.

      It's kinda funny to think about how tiny the outside of the building is compared to the inside. It's super obvious when you notice it.

    In addition to the failsafe provided by the island, the target market was the upper class and ultra rich. Which is why Renardo the lawyer quips
    >we'll have a coupon day
    when pressed on the importance of sharing the dinosaurs with common people.

    Jurassic park and the lost world are one of the rare books that are actually better than the movies

    michael crichton versus screen adaptations is like george rr martin versus late game of thrones

      When I read the book I got the impression the park was this really half-assed setup. Like they had a shitty hand painted "welcome to Jurassic Park" sign, there were metal bars haphazardly welded over all the windows because they just recently realized raptors are really fricking dangerous, they don't really even have a decent dock because Hammond was too cheap to build a proper one. Lots of little details like that. Definitely not as nice as what the movie shows.

        The Park wasn't half assed, it was a technological marvel, the problem was nobody thought things through so they had to go back and fix their initial design to match reality.

        I mean there's also the fact that book Hammond isn't independently wealthy like movie Hammond. Book Hammond is literally a Cinemaphile-tier scammer who's been conning numerous powerful people out of their money and leveraging it in investments to raise the enormous amount of money to even get Jurassic Park off the ground. One of the reasons the lawyer shows up in the book is because he's actually worried none of this is going to work and they will all be on the hook for billions of dollars they can't pay back.

        It just so happens that it DOES work, and everybody's initially delighted, but then it works too well and everything goes horribly wrong.

    The park's aimed at the super rich, all that money's coming back one way or another.

    Spielberg screwed it up. In the book and original script, Hammond was a symbol of corporate greed.

    He changed the script to make him a stand-in for how he saw himself as a filmmaker - a quirky dreamer who didn't care about money and just wanted to share wonder with the world.

    Because on the mainland you'd have government israelites showing up to stick their noses in your business and extort money out of you

    Do you think it also has a secret pedo ring for elites? I bet they feed the kids to the dinos after they're done with them.

    The dinosaurs mania this movie brought in school was the most comfy thing ever. Kids making velociraptor noises in the hallways and the Jurassic Park logo everywhere. Incredibly comfy. I miss the old world.
