First Up I visited an exhibition about restless planet, the dinosaur park yesterday and gleaned some info regarding rides.

Mack have bean commissioned to produce the main dark rides systems for the Dinosaur dome and Huss have been awarded for providing one of the main rides there.

Kokoro are making the Dinosaurs themselves.

Jack Rouse are the project managers and ECA2 Are producing the shows.

The architects I work for is producing all the drawing for the Restless Planet building.

 

One of the rides is called Runaway Raptor and the other the something river ride (sorry can't remember the name but it begins with M). Of course these could just be project names and not the final names.

 

There is also going to be a IMAX/cinema type attraction in there as well as some kind of earthquake/volcano type show/ride. There is loads of exhibition space. Not sure what the Huss ride is everything is on hold at the moment not sure why as its not my department but its all pretty much designed.

 

I thought the Mack ride was going to be a coaster but when I asked the other week they said it was more like a monorail/slow moving ride, so we could still be looking at the powered coaster of some sort.

Aren't Mack & Huss the same company?

[Jew]

No.
