Billionaire plans 'real Jurassic Park'

An Australian billionaire is planing to construct his own 'Jurassic Park'-style attraction featuring real dinosaurs, according to reports.

Eccentric businessman Clive Palmer is said to be in talks with biologist Keith Campbell and embryologist Ian Wilmut, the scientists who made the Dolly The Sheep, the first successfully cloned mammal.

Palmer, who has made his billions in mining and mineralogy, then wants to introduce a cloned dinosaur to his own luxury resort on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

The mayor of the Sunshine Coast Mark Jamieson has said that Palmer is 'very serious' about the plans, and is reportedly set to hold a press conference later today.

It's not the first time that the billionaire has planned to turn cinema into reality.

Earlier this year, he unveiled plans to make the 'Titanic II', a vast liner he is having built in China.

It is scheduled for completion in 2016.

“It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic but of course it will have state-of-the-art 21st-century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems," he said.

UPDATE: Sadly, Clive Palmer won't be bringing dinosaurs back from the dead. According to an Australian news site, the billionaire said at a press conference that it was just a rumour. He'll merely build a vast casino complex instead on the Sunshine Coast, though it will have it's own wildlife park, convention centre and hovercraft station.
