Hammond would have succeeded in the planning of his park if he and his team hadn’t tried to make the dinosaurs real. Since he would be the first to open a park of this type, he would be able to charge what ever he wanted. One of the errors that caused the park to fail was the fact that Hammond and the other designers of the park wanted the dinosaurs to be real.
Jurassic Park was to be like some sort of resort or theme park the difference was that, Hammond wanted the park to be natural. He wanted everyone to feel like they had stepped back in time. “Everywhere, extensive and elaborate planting emphasized the feeling that
They were entering a new world, and leaving the normal world behind.”(83) The entire island was designed with wildlife. . The designers never considered what they were planting in the park.

Even touching the attractive green fronds could make you sick, and if a child were to take a mouthful, he would almost certainly die the toxin was fifty times more poisonous than oleander.”(85) Just as important as the tiny details of the park that were overlooked, if not more important, was the technical failures associated with humans. When the park was designed, the humans controlling this aspect of the Park obviously didn't consider that there could be problems in the system. Gennaro questions Arnold about the security of the control system, and Arnold insists it is secure. Malcolm insists that he knows for certain that animals have escaped. Does the computer ever make a mistake? Only with the babies. It mixes those up sometimes, because they’re such small images. But we don’t sweat that. The babies almost always stay close to herds of adults. (127)
The park was thought be designed perfectly. The land was set up to control and maintain these animals while the computer system that ran the entire park was the "best" one ever. The designers were so sure about the perfection of the computer system and the park layout that they completely overlooked the technical flaws that...
