Help me out Aussie folk that were around in the 80s. I’m trying to identify a dinosaur theme park on the Gold Coast from that time period.
I have memories as a kid of going to this rather dingy park. It didn’t have much infrastructure at all, but what it did have were giant animatronic dinosaurs. They moved around, and I have vague memories that they were actually being driven/controlled by someone inside the dino. I also remember there was a giant red back spider that the t-rex battled with…
It wasn’t Dinosaur Island at Sea World, as this predated the seaworld attraction by many years. But other than that, I can’t find any record of it.
I wonder if it wasn’t a permanent setup, but maybe something that moved around the country like a circus?
I grew up on the Gold Coast in the 80s. I have no memory of such a place, sorry.
I’ll grant that we were poor and not exactly visiting the theme parks every week, but I’m fairly certain I got to them all at least once.
