Behind The Scenes Of 'Walking With Dinosaurs' Show

We went behind the scenes of the “Walking With Dinosaurs” show, a live performance in London featuring 18 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs. We saw how each of the realistic animatronic dinosaurs is controlled, and it's quite a coordinated operation.
"Walking With Dinosaurs" is currently touring Europe and tickets are available on their website: www.dinosaurlive.com

I LOVED this show. I saw it when I was 8-10 and it made me a dinosaur fanatic! Always apart of my memories.

[@lemmythebulldog8812]

You know there was a funny blooper when I went to one of these shows They brought out a torosaurus and it took a dump in the arena, they did a little science lesson on fossilized dino poop, but when they finished up the bit. The lights turn out to clean the set, but you could still see the fake poop in the middle of the floor It must’ve been on a rope and had wheels because they pulled it off the set really fast, I just watched a pile of shit slide across the floor like a hockey puck me and my dad were in tears from laughing so hard, me and about 8000 other people who saw it in Madison Square Garden.

[@all-four-inches]

I watched this show last weekend, was absolutely *AMAZING!*

Plot twist: The dinosaurs are actually real but they are pretending to be animatronics

i like the feathers! good to see they are keeping up with modern paleontology

[@TheReal4th]

Still not accurate. It looks more movie like than reality.

[@coreytaylor447]

its a step in the right direction though

[@GimmieTheJimmie]

Corey Taylor Not necessarily either.

[@timmywallace5058]

I don't like the look of the "feathers" they look like the hair on the Zombie monster truck, it looks too long I guess? Especially on the baby rex

[@aa-to6ws]

@@timmywallace5058 Ikr? It would look so much cooler to have a fuzzy layer and then some feather sticking out of it.

[@forrestgumball]

That TRex was the loudest thing I've heard in an arena!

[@alexanderpoirier3350]

Absolutely fantastic. Spared no expense obviously! John Hammond would be proud.

[@mkuppusa]

I watched this show so long ago. They are still doing it? The animatronics look abit different though. But nice to see they are keeping at it. I loved this show, it was fantastic.

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

Went extinct in 2019. Much like many things as 2020 was the end of the current era

[@jeremybickham2842]

They should really use puppetry like this for the movies.... They could make movie dinosaurs even more believable.

[@datemasamune2904]

I'm genuinely curious to know how lions, elephants or rhinos would react if they encountered these animatronics.

[@brianpogue3943]

They’d probably freak out or at least think it’s the real deal (i.e. an actual animal), certainly is convincing enough for me. That said, I doubt you’d be able to just take them out in the wild since they need flat terrain for them to be able to move from the looks of it.

[@rangereview4590]

Predators usually hunt by smell,prey usually have good hearing,sight is usually not the most important sense.they do not smell or sound like a real animal so it would be like introducing them to a backhoe,it would be amazing if they could fix that and we could see true interactions

[@ThePowerpointMaster]

would be cool if they could use these for movies like in jurassic park with the big T-rex animatronic

[@owenpines2733]

The animatronics used here in "walking with dinosaurs" are cool but the animatronics used in the "jurassic park or jurassic world" franchise are awesome and the raptor suits are very cool... i would prefer seeing the animatronic dinosaurs on the set for the jurassic park or jurassic world movies. If i had a chance to see it and get close to one or wearing the raptor suit.. but the animatronics in "walking with dinosaurs" are also nice and cool......😊😊😊😊😊

[@dreamer9071]

This is something realistic thing

[@Brisingrize]

I'll never forget when mama rex came out. Not in all my years. She shook the vector arena with her fury. And then having them soften her with her love for her baby, having them nuzzling and calling softly. She made me cry. You made a little girl who wanted to leave the earth have a moment that I would do anything to capture again. Big Al was always my favourite dinosaur, and the thought of being able to pull a how to train your dragon moment, with my former pretend best friend, would be on my bucket list.

[@gmikegaines]

What? Who actually knows how Dinosaurs walked Who was here 65+ Million years ago to see them walk? I we have is their bones sometimes a fossil of feathered Dinosaurs appear. Remember 50 Years ago paleontologist thought that T Rex walked upright. I we have are theories based of how current animals walk.
