I've seen the TV version. It was pretty awesome.

There's a TV version? Really? Any idea where I can find that???

Usually sporadically on Discovery Channel, Discovery Science, and/or Animal Planet

There's also Walking with Monsters: Life Before Dinosaurs, Allosaurus: A Walking With Dinosaurs Special, Chased by Dinosaurs, Walking with Prehistoric Beasts & Walking with Cavemen.

Also on DVD

Oh, no, that's an animated thing. This is the live show with robot/puppet/real dinosaurs, full size, fighting, eating each other, etc. Not nearly the same thing.

Has nobody seen this? I'm surprised.

Not in my area but my area is pretty of the beaten path (merely 250,000 across 2 cities, 8 towns, 1 village, all of which are in close proximity and 70 miles from the nearest big city). The closest we get it the yearly knockoff at the Brevard Zoo.

Well that seems pretty big to me! Okay, it depends on what that 70 mile away city is!

Orlando

The city proper has over 220,000 people but Greater Orlando (AKA Metro Orlando or the Orlando area) has over 2,000,000 people.

You must be Mickey-sized by now!

Unfortunately, the tour doesn't seem to be hitting Florida at all. Too bad, it really isn't to be missed.

That's certainly not true south and east if the I-4 corridor. Mostly true to the north and west of it though.

Damn! You young whippersnappers!

I didn't have to walk with dinosaurs on animation or animatronics, I did it with the real thing!

Let me tell you, they had bad breath.

There is an actual TV program about the making of this program.  It documents the whole production from the drawing board to the first show in Britain.  The actuall making of these incredible robots is almost more impressive than the finished product.  I've only seen it on PBS though.

::tries to remember Jeff Goldblum's Jurassic Park line::

THAT is a seriously large pile of smurf.

Usually we don't allow bumping such old threads, but thanks for the reminder. Unfortunately, there's only 1 upcoming show in Cal and it's nowhere near here.
