Aussie Billionaire wants to build real Jurrasic Park

Aussie Tycoon Wants to Clone Dinosaurs for His Real Life, Resort-Based Jurassic Park | Popular Science

Quote:
In other billionaire news today, a controversial and ostentatious Australian is supposedly planning a real-life Jurassic Park, complete with cloned dinosaurs. Clive Palmer, who also wants to build a modern-day Titanic replica, has held talks with the scientists who cloned Dolly the sheep, reports Australia’s Sunshine Coast Daily.

Palmer, a mining magnate, owns a luxury resort on the Sunshine Coast, in southern Queensland on Australia’s Pacific side. He would put the dinosaurs in his new resort there, the Daily reports. There are no named sources in the article about this effort, however, with the newspaper citing someone “close to Palmer’s inner circle.”
If this is for real it can only end badly.

Must have inherited the money. Nobody that stoooopid would become a billionair on their own.

I don't see an issue, unless they put lasers on the dinosaurs.

If this does happen Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum must be there for the Grand Opening.
