Walking with the dinosaurs!!

I am a self proclaimed 'Dino Nut'.Not surprisingly i belong to this huge clique of people who are just fascinated with these creatures. I very simply cannot ever imagine that such mega and magnificent creatures ever existed and walked on this planet and ruled it and there is no longer a trace of them anywhere now,its just in-comprehensible. But we know they did!!

Always caught in a child like fascination ,imagining them,if they had existed now we would probably be like the insects -feeling really small. lol!! Seeing a big elephant or rhino or a tall giraffe can cause so much excitement in me,just imagine seeing a 100 foot tall and 200 feet long brachiosauraus walking by you,forget that, how would it be to see one of the greatest predators on planet earth the Tyrannosaurus-rex suddenly run into the scene.Lol!! Well that is what exactly happened at this show called 'Walking with the dinosaurs'.

This 12 million dollar show is right now touring America and they have created around 10 lifelike and life size walking robotic dinosaurs and have made a show out of it. I did not expect the effects and realism of the CGI in movies like Jurassic park and it was not like that ,but i was really impressed with what i saw.The screenplay of the show was pretty weak but not so bad either. The dinosaurs were huge and really life like(though in the back of your mind you know its not,:) ).The dinosaur movements was fantastically realistic,especially the human propelled Raptor movements were amazing.

Having mostly seen them in books and movies,you always tend to imagine how would it be to see one live? And that is exactly what they brought out in this show. Giant moving life-size and life-like robots which stomp around a huge arena transformed into a artificial jungle.

For me the most impressive scene was the popping of the T-Rex. They had a small baby T-rex cornered by a Torosaurus and ankylosaurus and it bays out for help and this huge monster enters into the stage roaring,boy!! That was a really impressive scene. The T-Rex was huge and so life like and the roar was deafening,I actually jumped a bit on hearing the roar.lol!!

I think kids and people in America are really very fortunate to be seeing and exposed to all this. I was really impressed by the creativity and effort that has gone into making this show.If you are a Dino nut then please do visit this show if you ever get a chance,its fantabulous.

If you are not a Dino fan then you may not be really impressed because all the statistics and information about dinosaurs and evolution may seem very boring to you and it would be just a dinosaur parade show for you.

Somebody had asked me this question - If time travel was possible and you had only one opportunity to choose a point in time to travel which would you choose?

My answer was - of course the Cretaceous period.

Today, i was so fortunate to see these creatures kinda live,thanks to the ingenuity of a few humans. Long live the dinosaurs!!Lol!!
