I think there is a large contradiction between Jurassic World and The Lost World.

Jurassic World: John Hammond wanted a new dino park
If Simon Masrani can be believed he build Jurassic World (at least partly) because it was John Hammond's dying wish to him:

"John Hammond entrusted me with his dying wish, and not once did he mention profits. "Spare no expense", he use to say." - Simon Masrani, JW flying scene

According to the MasraniGlobal website Masrani took over InGen in 1998; shortly after Hammond's death. The precise date of John Hammond's death is not given. However, it must have been in the few months between May 1997, the events of (TLW), and 1998.

The Lost World: John Hammond hates dino parks
Before and during the events of TLW John Hammond was VERY opposed to the idea of building another dinosaur zoo/park.

The reason that John Hammond was removed from InGen's board of directors because he vetoed any attempt that was made to build a new Jurassic Park.

John Hammond told Ian Malcolm he regarded the idea of putting dinosaurs in a theme park pillaging.

The new CEO of InGen went to Site B to capture dinosaurs and bring them to a new park. John Hammond even send an eco-terrorist to Site B to sabotage this plan. This resulted in the loss of many lives.

After the disasters on Site B and San Diego InGen was in ruins. Dr. John Hammond, the former CEO of InGen, spearheaded a movement to isolate the entire Muertes Archipelago - the islands where InGen's dinosaurs live - from the outside world.

John Hammond said that is was abolutely imperative to "set up a set of rules, for the preservation and isolation of that island. These creatures require our absence to survive, not our help. And if we could only step aside and trust in nature, life will find a way."

Now we have to believe that a few months or weeks after this speech John Hammond made another U-turn and asked Simon Masrani to build a new dinosaur park for him.

I do not believe this 'contradiction' can be solved. However, I am sure that if this contradiction had, instead of being between two movies, been between the movies and a game or website there would be hordes of fans at my door demanding that the damned contradicting game/website be regarded as non-canonial as soon as possible.
