That's pretty impressive...

This opens every 3 years and I was involved in the event that was held in 2009, it's basically for dino geaks around the nation, and approx. 70% of the visitors are children...

Do they put out any cool dino figures to go along with it?

From what I remember -
Safari (+ Carnegie collection), Collecta, Shleich dinosaurs were sold.
A lot of miniature dinosaurs from Japanese companies (mostly Kaiyodo) were available, and some larger ones such as the ones from the Sega series were also available.
Some more expensive stuff such as Kinto Favorite/Dinostoreus desktop statues (fleshed out, skeletons, skulls etc.) were also somewhat common.

But obviously, Chinasaurs galore~!

Really sucked this year...

Well, it's more of an amusement event focused on children, rather than for Dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages...
