    Dinosaurs Coming to Ohio This Summer

    by  • February 1, 2012 • Life in Galion • 0 Comments

    Well, not exactly, but almost.

    During the winter, GalionLive typically takes a look at what’s heading to nearby Cedar Point for the upcoming amusement park season. Typically, it’s a high-speed coaster or other thrill ride, something the park is known for.

    New at Cedar Point in 2012 is Dinosaurs Alive! on Adventure Island, a prehistoric-themed attracition featuring over 50 life-size anamatronic dinosaurs.

    Adults and kids of all ages will experience the sights and sounds of prehistoric dinosaurs. Wihtin this collection of pre-historic beasts, are three interactive dinosaurs where guests can control the dinosaurs’ sounds or movement.
