During the terrifying game of cat-and-mouse between Tim, Lex, and the two Velociraptors, there's a moment in the kitchen that's usually considered a bit of a plot hole. Tim runs into the freezer room where, somehow, the floor just happens to be covered in ice.

Despite this being very convenient for a small child with rubber-soled sneakers, it's actually a testament to the detail that went into the writing. Prior to this scene, John Hammond is eating the ice cream that would otherwise have defrosted due to the power being out, this would no doubt have caused water to leak from the freezers and onto the floor.

However, after this Dr. Sattler is able to restore power to the park. This would reactivate the freezers and, as a result, cause the water on the floor to freeze back over.
