This looks quite cool. Big props to SF New England for investing in the dinos. I think my kids would love the ride. Now the question is: Will the park properly maintain it? I've seen time and again new rides slowly fall into disrepair. I t makes no sense.

I hear you Kevin. Time will tell, I guess. But for now, those are some pretty great-looking beasts.

I haven’t been to Six Flags NE in a very long time. It’s nice to see the addition of animatronics in the park, especially ones as detailed as these.

Agreed about the animatronics. It's also encouraging to hear that other parks in the chain might be getting them.

I always thought Cedar Fair was doing themselves a disservice by making their Dinosaur Alive attractions an up charge. Clearly this new attraction shows if you give the people dinos, and don’t put them behind a paywall, the kids (and crowds) will come. I’m sure you’re right Arthur - with the new merger, we haven’t seen the last of the great lizards at the Cedar Fair branded parks.

The separate-ticket concept didn't make sense to me either. I'm not sure, but I don't think visitors had the option to only purchase a ticket to see the Cedar Fair dinosaurs; they had to also get a pass to the regular park. That was asking folks to shell out a lot of $.
