Triceratops Encounter: Universal's Abandoned Animatronic Show

Описание: When Universal opened Islands of Adventure in 1999, it included a land entirely themed on Jurassic Park. And it was in that land that guests could find a mysterious, short-lived attraction promising an up-close encounter with a live dinosaur. An animatronic show that after much difficulty was eventually left abandoned in the park. So let's take a look back at the history of Triceratops Encounter.
