The Exxon ride at Epcot had animatronic dinosaurs. I remember going under the brontosaurus' neck.

It was much more interesting than most of the other rides and and exhibits. It wouldn't have been as cool with plankton, even though giant plankton would have been interesting.

Dinosaurs are *definitely* more fun than plankton!

"The world's biggest tyre dump is on fire"

If I understood things correctly this is footage from 2012. Maybe? I'm having trouble finding reliable sources.

Thank you!

I'm sorry that oil doesn't come from dinosaurs - but oceanic ooze is almost as good. ;)

Why doesn't the apocalypse one get the doom tag?

I suspect that one of the children distracted me while I was saving that link off. Tiny monsters that they are.
