Adam Savage, Animax, and animatronic antediluvian animals

I hope this is the right place to post this. Adam Savage (of Mythbusters fame) has recently been posting videos of his tour of Animax Designs, a comapny that specializes in animatronics, puppets, etc. for theme parks and such. They are building a lot of dinosaurs - they never mention the JP/JW franchises by name, but that's clearly where the designs come from. Maybe these are for Universal Studios' theme park?


Anyhow, while I'm not interested in the franchise, everything else about these videos hits right in my sweet spot. I think some of you may enjoy them too. As it happens, Animax is just a few miles down the road from me. I have a friend who works there, but I've never taken the opportunity to pick his brain on their processes. Anyhow, here's some videos!
