Where Should We Build Jurassic Park?
Only a few U.S. cities can sustain tragic-yet-frequent dinosaur outbreaks.
The entrance by helicopter. The sweeping orchestral strings. The near certainty of death at the hands of a late-Cretaceous-period monster. Paleontologists in jorts! Who doesn’t want a Jurassic Park in their city? The better question may be: What city most deserves to host a dinosaur theme park?
Building a Jurassic Park would be a titanic undertaking for a city, with all the benefits and drawbacks of setting up a world-class zoological facility, developing an Ivy League research institution, and hosting the World Cup. Only a few places are cut out for it.
