Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar became InGen's flagship theme park following the abandonment of Jurassic Park: San Diego. Envisioned as a high-end destination resort, the park was in the last phases of construction when an act of industrial sabotage crippled the security system and led to the park's abandonment. The park was resurrected a decade later under the name Jurassic World and finally opened to the public in June of 2005.
Late one night, sometime in 1992, Animal Handlers and Park Veterinarians, under the supervision of Game Warden Robert Muldoon prepared the Pen for the arrival of The Big One, the most cunning and violent of the Velociraptors. She was transported from the Paddock to the Pen in one of Park's Containment Crates via a Construction Forklift. After setting it down at the base of the Pen, an anxious Pushing Team slid the Crate up to the Pen where it magnetically locked on to the entrance. Gate Keeper Jophery climbed the side of the Crate, and on the orders of Muldoon, began to open the Crate. The Velociraptor rushed out of the opening, knocking the Crate free of the Pen's magnetic locks. Falling into the gap between the Crate and Pen, Jophery was pulled inside by the Raptor. The Animal Handlers swarmed the crate attempting unsuccessfully to taser the raptor. Discarding his weapon, Muldoon threw himself into the opening, grabbing Jophery and trying to pull him free. The raptor proved to be stronger however, ripping Jophery from Muldoon's grip and dragging him inside the crate where it killed him. The team were eventually able to re-secure the raptor.
The incident sparked concern in InGen's Investors who threatened to pull their funding unless the Park was inspected, and signed off on by a group of experts. The legal representative of the investors, Donald Gennaro secured Ian Malcolm a Chaotician for the inspection, but he was deemed "too trendy" by the investors who requested that paleontologist Alan Grant be invited as well.
At the time of the Jurassic Park Incident, both the Park Grounds Tour and Mr DNA Showcase were operational but not complete. It was stated that the Park would open with these attractions with others coming online 6-12 months later.
15 Species of genetically recreated dinosaur planned for Jurassic Park. It is unclear how many of them were present on the island at the time of the Isla Nublar Incident.
