Kings Island Opens “Dinosaurs Alive!” Exhibit
May 22, 2011 | Entertainment, Home
Kings Island amusement park has unveiled a new “Dinosaurs Alive!” exhibit in a Jurassic-forest setting with more than 50 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs featuring movement and sound. The Kings Island park has always been known for the fast roller coasters and popular summer fun park has decided to branch out into other areas to try and attract even more visitors each year.
The park north of Cincinnati announced Friday that the attraction will debut May 26 and features hand-carved dinosaur models along a 4,000-foot long path covering more than 12.5 acres.
The park says the exhibit’s highlight is the animatronic Ruyang Yellow River dinosaur, measuring 72-feet long, 12-feet wide and 30 feet high. The dinosaurs were made by the Canadian-based Dinosaurs Unearthed based on the most recent paleontological information.
Kings Island is scheduled to open its season on April 30. The dinosaur exhibit will require a separate $5 admission fee in addition to the already expensive fee to get into the park
