Dino Island the Ride

You look up and suddenly you are staring, right into the eyes of a giant flying Peterananodon dinosaur. It’s caught you in its claws and you are soaring into the sky. Below you looms an active, menacing volcano… Suddenly, at neck-breaking speed you are rushing, head-first, right into the heart of the boiling, overflowing lava.

Dino Island is a computer animated, high action simulation attraction that takes its “riders” on a daring expedition of a mysterious, smoke-shrouded island. In this primeval land, intrepid explorers encounter thrilling adventures as they secure the continued existence of a band of creatures that time forgot. Using sight, sound and a state-of-the-art, hydraulic motion base, the simulation theatre creates an unrivaled authentic experience.
