Everybody walk with dinosaurs

HAY GUYZ IZ DAT POCKY CAN I HAZ SUM?
“Walking With Dinosaurs” is a stage show by The Creature Production Company and BBC Worldwide based on the BBC mini-series of the same name. The show involves 10 large robotic dinosaurs (one of which is 36 
feet tall and 56 feet long) and at least 7 smaller dinosaurs. They’ve already toured the U.S., so you may be wondering why I’m mentioning this now. It’s because last week the baby T-Rex robot appeared on the “Mezamashi TV” morning show in Japan to promote the upcoming tour and scare the crap out of the hosts for our amusement. Baby T-Rex robot rules. I want to name him Clarence and ride on him next to the Popemobile, waving at people. Y’all got a problem with that? Haters gonna hate.

Hate to burst your bubble, but that’s not a robot… Look closely, its a person. Now, I’m sure there’s some minor robotic features… But, does not take away from the Awesome. I’d pay someone to follow me around all day, to be my pet T-Rex.
Took my kids to this a few years ago. Needs more mauling.
“Look closely, its a person. Now, I’m sure there’s some minor robotic features…”
those would called animatronic features
Of course they’re persons.
The woman in the yellow shirt is absolutely terrified. Haha.
HATERS GONNA HATE!
Most of them ARE indeed robots. The baby t-rex has a person inside, working the controls with their upper body. Their legs obviously make the baby t-rex move much more realistically. The larger dinosaurs from the show are mainly attached to sleds, which drivers underneath are covered ( to look like fake logs and such) and literally drive the dinosaurs around the arena while a remote controlled soundboard handles their movements. I saw the show, and a little t-rex fell over. The crew had t come out and help the person inside back to their feet.
