  It’s a pun on “electric park”, which is what amusement parks were called when electricity was still a new thing.

  And “they” means the characters, not the writer.

    Not just that but a character that is written as glossing over important details for profit

      The fact that the movie turned Hammond into a kindly grandfather figure rather than the rich, greedy bastard he was in the book was probably one of the bigger mistakes in the adaptation… The way he’s presented as a visionary who actually cares in the movie makes the cut costs not really make that much sense.

      Greedy capitalist fuck who only sees how much money he can milk out of the park like he was in the book? That made perfect sense.
