Dinosaur Island set to launch at Sea World
Gold Coast theme park Sea World has announced that it will launch a brand new interactive dinosaur attraction that will take visitors on a journey into the prehistoric world.
Launching in mid June 2012, Sea World's Dinosaur Island will include an indoor jungle display, a fossil centre as well as an outdoor forest featuring life-size Dinosaurs, skeleton displays and fossil replicas from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
Village Roadshow Theme Parks Chief Executive Tim Fisher said that Sea World's Dinosaur Island will be a world class attraction allowing visitors to enter a world where Dinosaurs reigned supreme.
Fisher explained "one of the attraction's best features is that it's highly interactive. Both the young and young at heart will be in awe as they watch the dinosaurs come to life, moving their heads and tails, breathing and roaring. Visitors will even be able to control the movements of some of the Dinosaurs using special interactive panels.
"The kids will love the interactive Excavation Site where they can become real life palaeontologists and dig for fossilised Dinosaurs footprints, just like the ones coming to life all around them."
Sea World's Dinosaur Island will bring to life the lost world of Dinosaurs allowing visitors to walk among enormous herbivores and fierce carnivores that inhabit Dinosaur Island, including a massive Tyrannosaurus rex.
