Went to this drive through dinosaur animatronic showcase thing called Jurassic Encounter yesterday. Was pretty fun, though don't expect accuracy with something like this. There were some nice surprises though, such as some rather neglected herbivore species like Muttaburrasaurus and Plateosaurus, among all the fan favorites. A few Jurassic Park/World copies as well such as the Dilophosaurus, some Velociraptor "Blue"s, and even an Indominus rex of all things.

Also sorry for some blurry pics here and there.

Edit: Link to their website: https://thejurassicencounter.com/gallery/

Right off the bat I spotted an inflatable Papo Triceratops, never mind the running T. rex/V. rex, and Triceratops on the banner (which I posted a bit about before, in this thread, as the website uses those on their website's header):



Some of the animals on display, starting with the Ankylosaurus:



Brachiosaurus:



Triceratops:



Stegosaurus:



Muttaburrasaurus:



Parasaurolophus:



Jurassic Park styled Dilophosaurus (worth noting they also had a normal non frilled one elsewhere on display as well):



Plateosaurus:



Dimetrodon (props to the audio tour for mentioning this was not a dinosaur, and an early relative of mammals):



Amargasaurus:



Tyrannosaurus:



Velociraptor's painted up to look like Blue from Jurassic World:



Guanlong:



Pteranodon:



Juvenile Allosaurus:



Compsognathus:



Ichthyosaurus:



The Indominus rex:



Spinosaurus:



Carnotaurus (bigger then all the other theropods!):



I also got a gift bag with my ticket of assorted things, and picked up a few extra things at the souvenir shop:



Notably there is a bootleg mini Lego Indominus rex, bootlegs of the Papo Pachycephalosaurus, baby Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops (all retired now?), and some other stuff like an adorable Triceratops plushie, and one of those build-able skeleton kits of Styracosaurus. I also got a t-shirt which happened to have a silhouette of the Papo standing/squatting T. rex on the back of it.





Also lastly a look at the poster that came with the rest, and I noticed has a pic of one of the older Schleich Spinosaurus figures on it:

not too bad, i know where most are those are from.  The Indominus is a bit odd though because its defining feature is being white lol

Mellow Stego

That Ichthyosaurus has a unique look to it.
I always enjoy these sort of things even if the dinosaurs aren't accurate.
I went to one called Jurassic Quest right before COVID. Had a lot fun.
Keep calm and love dinosaurs
