An Australian millionaire is finally getting to live out his dream of opening a dinosaur park, similar to the one made iconic in Steven Spielberg’s JURASSIC PARK.
Clive Palmer, who made his fortune in mining, initially wanted to clone dinosaurs to keep in his park. Luckily, he was talked out of this idea and has instead settled on robotic clones of the prehistoric reptiles.
Palmer began collecting the dinosaurs for his park last year with a Tyrannosaurus rex he named Jeff and an Omeisaurus named Bones. Jeff and Bones are just the beginning, though, because Palmer plans to include over 165 different animatronic dinosaurs in his new park to wow visitors.
If the he craziness of this idea seems familiar it’s because Clive Palmer is the same man who recently announced his plans to build a life size replica of the Titanic. Aptly named Titanic II, he plans for the ship to sail the same route as the original and will feature complete period costumes and a ban on internet and television.
