If that doesn't get people in the museum, what will?!

...but then again, old folks and children maybe shouldn't take the chance...

Yeah, it works really well - not sure how much animatronics there is in there apart from eyes maybe... I'm sure anything swinging around that much in a public place would be puppeteered rather than risk mechanical things going wrong.

There were some nice clips doing the rounds last year

Yeah but how cool would it be to able to say "The eye patch?  Yeah I lost my eye in a fight with a dinosaur"

There'd be expensive repairs for the company, every time some wannabe Claw Eyeball Carver gouged out a replacement...

That would be almost worth it...

They look fab.  There were some great puppets/animatronics at the WALKING WITH DINOSAURS arena show (including a T-REX with a head the size of a small car - awesome!)
