The larger-than-life characters will include an 18m tall T-Rex that breathes and sways its tail as it hunts for prey; an Iguanodon’s furious battle against a Deinonychus; Pterosaurs that screech as they soar through the trees; a 15m tall Brachiosaurus, guarding her eggs; and a 16m long Diplodocus, who cries out to passers-by.

Naz Kabir, spokesperson for Jurassic Encounter, said: “Dinosaurs have always captured the imagination of children and adults alike, and Jurassic Encounter will be a fantastic, interactive way to learn more about these fascinating creatures.

“We can’t wait to welcome our guests – and our prehistoric visitors – to parks up and down the UK this year.”
