Dodge through a stampede o f
thundering apatosaurs, feel your
heart in your throat as you evade a
T-Rex, witness a prehistoric battle
high in the air, while dangling from
the claws o f a pteranodon-all from
the safety o f the Oregon Z oo's new
thrill ride, opening Friday, Aug. 15.
Dino Island, produced by SimEx-
I werks, is the zoo’s latest simulator
ride, which replaces the popular
Deep Sea thrill ride.
"Seeing huge dinosaurs in our
simulator isa thrilling experience,”
says Tony Veechio, Oregon Zoo
director. “The T-Rex looking at me
like I was lunch was something I
w on’t soon forget," he added.
Dino Island, which runs through
Oct. 17, is a high-action, animated
simulation that relies on computer-
controlled hydraulics, moving the
entire audience in synchronization
with the prehistoric actions on the
screen. Riders view the dinosaurs
while traveling in their virtual all-
terrain vehicle. They race, twist and
plummet in synchrony while dino­
saurs attack and pursue them.
In addition to regular zoo adm is­
sion, a $4 ticket is required. Pro­
ceeds from ticket sales help pay for
the zo o ’s conservation and educa­
