100% agree that if this is people's first taste of the park, we need to give them the best impression possible.

I wonder how much of what we're doing is known or suspected outside of InGen? Anyone that bothers to ask will know that we've bought six whole islands and the complete secrecy indicates that we're doing something big. Between that, all of these ressurection/preservation campaigns and licensing the terror birds for that video game, someone could theoretically put the pieces together and deduce that we're reviving (or planning to revive) prehistoric animals.

However, while the 'extinct animals zoo' part could be one of the possible guesses, having actual dinosaurs will be completely unexpected to probably anyone outside of InGen (not counting corporate espionage, fuck you BioSyn). After all, every species we're cloning is only recently extinct (relatively speaking, but even the Terror birds were alive 'only' a couple million years ago), while dinosaurs are a lot older and more different to everything we've cloned, especially if at this point in time the general public doesn't think of them as proto-birds but as big lizards (so us cloning birds but not lizards wouldn't draw suspicions about dinosaurs, even without counting the 'vastly older' part).

This makes me ever more certain that the dinos will be the real money-maker, and if we play our cards well a complete surprise to the world. We open the park, merely saying that it's about prehistoric animals; then the first tourists come expecting dodos and mammooths and they see dinosaurs. We let a few days, maybe one or two weeks, pass while the rumors and word of mouth about what we really have in the Park quickly spread around, building hype and speculation... and then we make the big announcement.

And then we sit back and eat popcorn while watching the whole planet go into shock.

Again, in book, the US government was a bit interested. Supercomptuers, gene sequencers, buying up that egg pro company....

They were ironically worried about another Biosyn. So us doing a job with the US government is gonna help assuage their worries some.

If this is BioSyn, I want them dragged into the light where they will burn like vampires from the scrutiny.

I think this idea could work pretty well but we need to do some extra work.

Basically, we need to create a decoy. We register some possible names for the park like "Dodo Land" or whatever, we create some company logos for InGen using the Dodo as the centerpiece, buy merchandising from china, and we may even want to resurrect the dodo itself.

There is a reason why I am focusing on the Dodo... That bird is probably the most iconic species of an animal whose extinction was caused by humans, it is extremely distinguishable and, it has been used by conservation agencies for decades to raise awareness in society about the impact of humans on different species of animals... If we use the Dodo as a symbol our competitors will think "This is a park for species who became extinct relatively recently due to human activity" so they will expect to find dodos, passenger pigeons, aurochs, or at most woolly mammoths... Nobody will believe that we are working with Dinosaurs.

And there is not like what we did would go to waste (besides the fact that we would be saving an extinct species) as I said the Dodo is extremely iconic, it could be the perfect mascot for the teams working to save from extinction endangered species (while the other side of the Business uses the T-Rex as a symbol)

That would be a pretty big money sink for little if any gain imo, but the Dodo could be the mascot for our preservation and revival project that is currently taking the world by storm.

Not necessarily... registering brands, names or logos is not that expensive, and given the amount of money that we are already spending hiring a team of graphic designers to create some logos is pocket change...

The only thing that could be expensive would be the merchandising from china (which is not really needed) and the revival of the Dodos (which we would eventually do it anyways)... But the decoy part of our operation would only cost us a few thousand extra dollars more.

I like this idea. We can make our current campaign of deextinction a publicized event ("Project Dodo" or something like that, with a Dodo logo), and use it both to make money and to gain fame and really good PR. Then in a few years or so, we say that we're making a park of formerly extinct animals, only refering to it as "The Park" or "Project Dodo's Park" (or however we name the campaign) without giving any clue to its actual name, and exclusively focusing on the kind of animals that would be expected given our record: quaggas, Tasmanian tigers, etc. while particularly emphasizing Dodos as the mascot of our Project.

And when the visitors first arrive, they get into the monorail, which passes in front of several enclosures. They see familiar animals at first, some of the ones we've publicly cloned, but soon the keenest of them spot previously unknown animals. "Hey, wasn't that one of the birds from these videogames?". And then the monorail leaves the most forested area into a plain with a bunch of dinosaurs. And as the visitors begin to recover from their shock, as they just start figuring out the true nature of the park, they see the massive doors:

Ah, your phone. Picking up, before you even had a chance to say anything, Ray Arnold was speaking. "Boss we got a problem."

"Oh thank god."
lol this gave me a good laugh and is a understandable feeling too

Yah I really like this opiton get us some good pr with the public while still being somewhat a challenge to for sorkin since it a novel thing and boosting immune systems of snails too is something sorkin prob not done before to and they are going exctint too it a good project that hits all the areas
