It was the early 90's when me and my family went to see this but I was too scared to actually enter. Only my brother and father entered.

Funnily enough the exhibit came to San Antonio the next year and several times after that. It was definitely the best dinosaur exhibit we ever got until a Charlie McGrady exhibit came to the botanical gardens about 10 years ago (and the exhibit I work for opened up.)Paul Heastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361025829815286466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-74997591068787180492012-01-10T22:04:53.402-05:002012-01-10T22:04:53.402-05:00I remember taking a family road trip all the way t...I remember taking a family road trip all the way to Minneapolis in the summer of '88 to see the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit at the Science Museum. I was amazed, excited and a little frightened of the giant moving dinosaurs.<br /><br />Years later, several of the same aging, neglected bots made their way to a podunk science center close to my hometown. They seemed much less marvelous this time.jurassiraptorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01355160756767810198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-41991789856801633862012-01-10T18:42:23.573-05:002012-01-10T18:42:23.573-05:00I a actually still remember going to this when it ...I a actually still remember going to this when it came down under all those years ago.

I so wish I could recall more about my experiences with them as a child, or find the special brochure that accompanied their exhibition at the Museum of Science. It's damn weird that there seems to be almost no nostalgia online for giant robotic dinosaurs of all things.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08108657342054862720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-87012276917848797032012-01-10T14:46:58.220-05:002012-01-10T14:46:58.220-05:00I might be too young to remember Dinamation, but I...I might be too young to remember Dinamation, but I got to see "Dinosaurs Live" a few years back and it was pretty much amazing. Everything was life-sized and lovely. Mobility was the biggest problem, but, considering they were able to bring a life-sized T-Rex into the arena to scare all the children (there were screams), I will forgive them. <br /><br />www.itsbraintime.blogspot.comBrain Masterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401569546542144264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-10461731122042218462012-01-10T14:27:48.759-05:002012-01-10T14:27:48.759-05:00I sadly don't remember Dinamation, I never got...I sadly don't remember Dinamation, I never got to see them. But these are indeed refreshingly good for their time. I'm highly amused by the enraged <i>Apatosaurus</i> too.<br /><br />I had the privilege and pleasure of leafing through the original hand-written, hand-drawn 'manuscripts' of Marc's <i>Dinosaur Footprints</i> magazine. They are a real treasure. I remember reading those very words quoted in this post.Nateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869685234493116483noreply@blogger.com
