As far as I remember hearing from somewhere... the hybrid is created because after 10 years of the park being open, attendance has started to drop, so they create the hybrid and possibly plan to create more in order to draw attendance back. Why a park such as Jurassic World would be losing attendance after only 10 years... I don't know. Why the scientists would think creating a hybrid would be more appealing for an audience than more realistic dinosaurs... I don't know. And honestly I don't want to know because picking the movie apart like that would just ruin the fun of the movie for me. As for what a genetically modified hybrid would bring to the movie franchise... well I suppose they need their bigger and/or more dangerous carnivore now. They've already had Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus. Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and any other real large carnivores are only going to be about the same size and still be thought of as giant carnivores. For Jurassic Park: The Game, they had Troodon to have something smarter than Velociraptor. They need something more...

From the Lego figure, I have a pretty good feeling that the thing is essentially a Giganotosaurus that has been modified with other DNA, from what I can only guess. But I have a hunch it might be Troodon. Large carnivore-that-hasn't-been-used-before + smart dinosaur-that-was-made-to-be-creepy-in-JP:TG = cool(?)
