dinosaur

There I was, dribbling basketballs like a Globetrotter, diving through inter-dimensional portals, riding on the back of a galloping dinosaur in an explosive train heist.

Ichthyosaurs are classified as marine reptiles, not dinosaurs, because they spent their lives in the water.

Outside are nature trails, a “cretaceous” garden and a playground with a pterosaur-themed structure and a sandbox concealing replica dinosaur bones.

The park, which remains open for business as usual while a new owner is sought, has 36 rides and activities along with more than large-scale 90 dinosaurs - some fibreglass, some animatronic.

As we spoke a large inflatable dinosaur loomed over our heads, part of a bouncy castle erected for the ANO rally.
