Dinosaur Theme Park

[Christian]

Hello all,

I'm not playing AC57, but I came across this chap for my own nefarious purposes:


Except that, on the box cover it looks a lot better. Let's face it, it's a horrible model.

The first thing I thought of was a bad replica from a run down theme park akin to the Memorial Tar Pits in Sam n' Max Hit the Road:


And on a drive up the coast to Gosford you see this:


And saw this on Google:


So hopefully this will inspire someone to make a retro Dinosaur Theme Park or something

Happy gaming!

Round the back of Mango Hill in Brisbane is a vet surgery with a life size T-Rex or alosaurus, not sure which, plus a pteradon as decorations at their front gate. I have a life size baby triceratops at home as well, I just couldn't afford the adult one Oddly enough I'd like to see some 'life size' dragons in people's yards just for kicks, though I have not seen any done even for commission work.

Just googling "life size dinosaur" has some interesting results!

Above is exactly what I had in mind for the Tamiya dino I posted up...

We have the coombe martin wildlife and dinosaur park about 15mins away from us here in Devon, it's mad as cheese but great fun. There's an animatronic dinosaur display, which is great for the kids, good inspiration too. Will post up some of my own pics later:

Please post your pics, I'd love to see more

The dilophosaurus shoots water even?

[Doomhippie]

Please let it be water or maybe poison. Otherwise he'd be pretty mutated... Hm, mutated, ill tempered dinosaurs. A perfect Dr. Evil scam.

Calgary Zoo in Alberta also has a Dino display

That it does. Haven't seen it in years though, so maybe they added to it?

I went here as a kid.  It is very much the type of place that would fit in in this setting.

It doesn't look like it's changed in 30 years.

Yup it certainly does. Sorry haven't forgotten, will sort some piccies out at some stage.

You never truly realize just how BIG those critters were until you're next to a life-sized model/robot/etc.
