Triceratops Discovery Trail154

Where else but Jurassic Park would you find a dinosaur petting zoo?  Well… sorta.  In Triceratops Discovery Trail, guests (that would be you and me) enter a… well… trail, for lack of a better word.  The path winds around for a bit, supposedly taking you through a safari camp, until you end up at a stable where doctors are housing a sick Triceratops.  The Triceratops is actually pretty convincing.  She’s 24 feet long and 10 feet high, and interacts with her doctor and with the guests, to a limited extent.  Poor thing has a cold (watch out for sneezes!)  (more…)
