“Ooh! Ahh!” That’s how it always starts…

When it comes to Dubai and attracting wealthy tourists, the word “restraint” is seldom used. Perhaps that is why it is not surprising that the locals are building a $1 billion theme park that will feature over 100 animatronic dinosaurs of 40 different species. Dubbed “Restless Planet,” the park will attempt to provide an educational experience amid all of the Vegas-style spectacle. This will be done using history themed rides and robots/habitats that represent an accurate portrayal (based on current knowledge) of what life was like millions of years ago.
Hmm… Two Michael Crichton stories in one! What could possibly go wrong?

I know someone in the animatronic dinosaur business. If this is what I think it is, she is involved. I wonder if I can get in free!
