Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom's new attraction will feature 32 dinosaurs that move their heads, blink their eyes and roar.
T Rex is there. So are 31 other dinosaurs -- two at 35- to 40-feet tall -- that move their heads and tails, blink their eyes and roar. They're all part of Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom's new Dinosaurs Alive! attraction that is bound to marvel when the park opens for the season on Saturday, April 28.

Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom has begun installing the Dinosaurs Alive! attraction for the new season. The park posted the information -- and a video of T Rex being assembled -- on its Facebook page. It said T Rex will be located in the entrance plaza to greet patrons. The new park attraction is expected to include a series of stationary and automated dinosaur figures -- some 37 in all, according to information disclosed at a South Whitehall commissioners' meeting last September. Most of the prehistoric figures are expected to be less than 16 feet in height, but there is also expected to be two 35- to 40-foot dinosaurs. The dinosaurs will be viewed by patrons traveling through a themed walking path approximately 2,100 feet long in a 3.…

In August, Dorney Park held its first zombie invasion event, attracting more than 1,000 participants and setting a Guinness World Record. 3. Facing $6.4 million in budget cuts, Parkland administrators recommended in April laying off people in 60 staff and teaching positions, many through attrition. 4. …
