"They are coming here and they are meeting dinosaurs. We have 34 full-sized, active, interactive, live, animatronic dinosaurs," said Guy Gsell, the park's executive producer. "It's theme park meets museum meets theater."
The dinosaurs speak and move and look lifelike.
"He's blinking and breathing. So, it really comes to life for a kid," Gsell said. "They are big. They are big. They're all life-size. So, these are real size that these dinosaurs would have been."
