Someone kill me before I make more puns about this.

The power to cheat memories is a power that only one has achieved and you know what; Superman is never around when you really need him.

You're never ready. You go when you're ready enough. So pucker up.

What do you think of this as a sequel idea.

Spoiler

Scientists have learned that the theme park idea just doesn't work. The dinosaurs, one way or another, escape and the whole thing falls apart. They decide instead to reintroduce dinosaurs into the wild, on the mainland, with modern animals. Their rationale is that due to the balance that ecosystems have lost thanks to human activity (namely hunting and poaching), dinosaurs could help restore various ecosystems around the world. The science has shown that when large animals go extinct in particular, it can affect the way plants grow (for example). The only problem of course is that this plan ultimately backfires because dinosaurs were not meant to co-exist with modern animals and they leave a considerably larger ecological footprint than any animal alive today. This becomes even more of a problem when hunters decide they want to go for the ultimate challenge and start targeting what few dinosaurs are in the wild and nearly hunt them all to death.

I think it could work, however the reason the dinosaurs are released has to make more sense. It makes no sense to introduce a gigantic dead species to any ecosystem. Plus if they can bring dinos back, then why not just bring modern extinct large creatures back to fix the ecosystem.

Perhaps a better way would be to have them at a lost about what to do with all of the dinos and have them sold to rich nut jobs; that then have them graze on their farms located throughout the globe. Of course it's a disaster and hilarity ensures.

Simple: no one preserved their DNA because, well, no one thought to. Why would anyone have saved the genetic material of a modern animal? Plus, there's the marketability aspect. People would go nuts for the idea of seeing a sauropod in its natural habitat vs, say, an elephant.

If you can find dino dna; you can find any other dna you want. Talking movie logic right? The second part, people in Jurassic World  were already bored of dinos, "apparently", which is why they had to engineer more fearsome monsters. Putting them out into the wild doesn't change that. In all honesty though, something would have to be done with the dinos.

I get the idea of hunters wanting trophies and humans hunting them to extinction but the justification to set them free on the world isn't very logical. Still what to do with them... none the less they are here and they'll be people that want to take care of them. I still see selling them to outside interest as a way of integrating them into the real world more logically than letting them loose for speculative reasons. Thinking that they would help the "eco system" just sounds so Prometheus™ school of science. No offense.

The thing about the plants could be made to work. Perhaps as you say, introducing a dinosaur to a rain forest caused plants to evolve in a different manner that allow for the production of new chemicals used for defense that have medical applications. Some of that was in Jurassic park with that plant the triceratops was eating. This would be stretching it though.

Maybe they escape from wherever they took Wu?

Ok how about this...

Spoiler

It's not the dinos that get out but the plants. Flying dinosaurs do escape after the 3rd movie so if anything they carried what are essentially alien plant seeds to new areas. The plants themselves spread as well. Which does cause a global pandemic of sorts. To counter this some countries decide to use a biological means of control and do indeed release herbivore dinosaurs into the wild. It works well enough that soon everyone is doing it but like anything, eventually they're too many dinos and hippies. No one can come up with a solution so somebody decides to take matters into their own hands and release a few meat eaters. Of course the ones they release out of ignorance are the super intelligent militaristic killing machines. Of course now every hunter in the world wants to bag a prize and governments are more than willing to pay for a non-military solution.

yea yea it's the some more of the hippies release the big bad virus and rednecks release the big bad virus and I'm not sure if 3 years is enough time to justify this shit as the movie is suppose to happen in real time. Still I feel the biological control concept has a little more reasoning to it.

I hate to be pedantic but...pterosaurs

In you scenario, there's no reason why the herbivorous dinosaurs couldn't just be killed by conventional means. It would be more economical than creating and releasing theropods. Also, where did hippies come from?
