The Cost of Amenities
The cost of running a major theme park like a “Jurassic World,” would be extremely substantial. For amenities alone, it would cost $1.2 billion on average annually. The average cost for a single amenity is around a little less than a million a day. Amenities are extremely important for a major theme park to keep guests hydrated, satiated, and rested.
The Cost of Attractions
The average cost for attractions like viewing galleries and tour vehicles would cost between $100,000 and $500,000 per year. It costs a lot to make parts for the attractions, build them where they need to be, and keep them up and running. That could really add up if the park managers would want guests to be fully immersed with their dinosaurs and exhibits
The Cost of Security
For fences alone, it would cost around $120 million. This includes everything from building the wire, setting up the electricity, and the labor. Of course,this price would vary from various park sizes, but this price specifically is referencing a 50 mile long fence. That would cover more than enough room for multiple species of dinosaurs.
The Cost of Dinosaurs
Well first, the research and development of the cloning technique would cost over $25 million. DNA extraction would cost an estimated $9 million and the cloning process would cost about $8.5 million. To actually care for these creatures it would cost around $300 million a year. There are plenty of more factors that can accumulate to an even greater cost but this is just the bare minimum.
The Total?
Now, considering this is only for running the park for one year and that these four topics are the only factors being put into the equation, it’s safe to assume an actual dinosaur park would cost much more than this. But anyway, the cost for real-life “Jurassic world” with only these topics in mind would be around $2 billion. So, it’s safe to say no common person would or even could create their own personal dinosaur park.
