He said "It's prime. It's Elizabeth prime and it's Rapture prime." from a ComputerAndVideoGames. com interview, "Raturn to Rapture: Ken Levine on BioShock Infinite: Burial At Sea"

Its not so much as a alternate Rapture, as much as its stuff that was recently introduced (and dilluted) into Rapture, which may be closed off in the events of part 2. Most of the stuff like Drinkable Plasmids and Gear was recently introduced, which was two months prior according to Suchong's Audio Diaries about discovering an "abnormally" that showed Fink stealing his Plasmid research, while seeing this as a "two way street" to also steal Fink's research. Still, Suchong did say he had made the original Plasmids, so both could exist, but for now, we only see that the drinkable Plasmids are available. Yeah, there is contrast with them, but then, Delta didn't find a U-Vent machine, or Jack didn't find Hack Dart dispensors or an Atlantic Express, (at least we see places and references of BioShock 2 in those Kinetiscopes and announcements).
