Visitors to Kings Island will have an opportunity to step back up to 245 million years in time when the world's largest animatronic dinosaur park debuts May 26, 2011.

More than 60 life-sized dinosaurs will be on display (some as tall as 30 feet high) in Dinosaurs Alive! at Kings Island, including 56 animatronic models, in a spectacular outdoor Jurassic forest setting!

The multi-sensory and interactive dinosaur park brings inspiration, science and technology together at Kings Island where guests will also hear the sounds and see the movements of these animatronic creations made to replicate nearly every feature of the dinosaurs.

Guests will experience 6 main scenes and 6 thematic exhibits as they make their way along a 4,000-foot long path spread throughout nearly 13 wooded acres.

Throughout this Jurassic journey, you'll learn about what the dinosaurs ate, when and where they lived, how they protected themselves, and how they adapted to their prehistoric world.

Adding to the thrill and excitement are the 4 dinosaurs with interactive consoles which allow guests to guide dinosaur movement so they can see how scientists believe each dinosaur moved its arms, tail, mouth and eyes. Other highlights include an excavation site replica, a kids' paleontological dig site where visitors can uncover prehistoric fossils, and a 1,500 square-foot dinosaur-themed gift shop that will feature more than 500 items.

Dinosaurs Alive! at Kings Island will be open daily beginning May 26 from 10:00 a.m. until dusk. The dinosaur park is not included with general park admission or a 2011 season pass.

A separate admission ticket of just $5.00 is required for this major attraction. Guests visiting Kings Island can purchase Dinosaurs Alive! admission tickets at the park or in advance online through the park's website.
