Jurassic Park, after all, didn't go wrong due to a dinosaur zoo being a fundamentally bad idea. I know that's the central theme of the series, but it's one that neither the books nor the films have ever conclusively proven, not to my satisfaction, anyway. It failed due to human error (Arnold not anticipating the reboot would trip the breakers), overconfidence (Hammond being too proud of everything/"Spared no expense!"/Arnold going by himself), over-reliance on technology (far too much automation) and simple greed (Nedry).

The fact Jurassic World operated (so far as we're aware) safely and smoothly for several years before Indominus rex proves a functioning park with dinosaurs can be maintained; and, again, it fails not due to it being a fundamentally bad idea, but because of complacency (they operated smoothly for so long they became overconfident), greed (90% guest satisfaction wasn't enough for them) and carelessness (the entire I-rex escape). Yeah. It's like going to sleep. When you go to sleep, you don't stay asleep you wake up again.
