We close in on the Mosasaurus Arena, Almost more than a thousand visitors sit in the audience. We notice Zach and Gray sitting within them. The announcer stands on the platform, speaking.

Announcer: The Mosasaurus was thought to have hunted near the surface of the water where it could prey on anything it could sink its teeth into

Above the announcer and into the lagoon, a great white shark is via a mechanical hook.

Announcer: Okay folks, let's see if she's still hungry after already eating today. She's a little shy so be nice and give her a hand when she comes out.

Gray shoves Zach in excitement while Zach is staring at a picture on his phone of his girlfriend.

Gray: Zach! Zach! The Mosasaurus!

SUDDENLY! the big fierce reptile of the sea thunders out of the water and snaps its jaw onto the Great-White dragging it under the water within lagoon and sending a pool of water over the audience. Soaked in water, the audience cheer and clap in total excitement and 'awe' to what they just saw. Zach smiling and unbelieved to what he'd just seen, claps along with everyone else's. The bleachers begin to move downwards.

Announcer: Okay, hold on tight. We're going to give an even closer look at our Mosasaurus.

When the bleachers stop moving, the audience are now sitting in the Underwater Observatory and are watching an underwater view of the reptile. Noise fills the attraction with cheering and clapping. The Mosasaur grabs the last of the Great-White shark eating it whole then rapidly biting it.

Gray: It has eighty-eight teeth.

Zach: Hey, you wanna see something else cool?

Gray: Yeah!

Meanwhile in Paddock 11, The construction crews are on break as Claire, Riley and Owen get out of the car. Riley and Owen stares up at the towering walls, looking unconvinced and more than a little uneasy.

Riley: I've gotta bad feeling about this uncle.

Owen: Me too kid.

Claire: We've been pre-booking tickets for months. The park needs a new attraction every few years in order to reinvigorate the public's interest. Kinda like the space program.

She walks over to the flight up steps leading up to the observation tower. Riley and Owen follows.

Claire: Corporate felt genetic modification would up the "wow" factor.

Riley: They're dinosaurs. "Wow" enough.

Claire: Not according to our focus groups. The Indominus rex makes us relevant again.

Owen can't believe his ears. He grins.

Owen: "The Indominus rex!"

Claire: We needed something scary and easy to pronounce. You should hear a four year old try to say "Archaeornithomimus."

Owen: You should hear you try to say it...

They enter the observation room. Supervisor Nick is sitting at his desk on his lunch break, munching a sandwich. Besides them he's the only one present. They walk over to one of the windows. As before, we don't see the I. rex, just the dense jungle of the paddock interior beyond the glass.

Riley: What's this thing made of...?

Claire: The base genome is a T. rex, the rest is... classified.

Owen: You made a new dinosaur but you don't even know what 'it is?

She's already annoyed by their line of questioning.

Claire: The lab delivers us new assets and we show them to public. Can we drop a steer, please?
