Here are a few of the sights from the beginning of the trail through the Forest. I think these are some of the newer additions to the attraction, since the colors are kind of gaudy.
I'm not sure what a giant parrot has to do with prehistoric times, but he did appear on a vintage postcard.
And I have no idea what this thing is, but he looks pretty creepy.
For me, the best ones were the old classics that have been there for a long time. Like these guys.
Another classic is the mastodon, who also appeared on a vintage postcard. When you approached him and leaned in close, you got a big surprise – a faceful of water from his trunk!
The last and probably best was the T-Rex. He still moved around and growled, which was a nice nod to Prehistoric Forest's past, when most of the primeval critters moved (if I remember correctly.)
Holy smokes! Makes me want to reach for my plastic machine gun!

ReplyDeleteThe thing in the photo is a Glyptodont, or Giant Ground Sloth.
