At Last, Someone Builds Jurassic Park

Oh, how we have waited for this day. Plans are in the works to build a $1.1 billion Jurassic Park–like theme park in Dubai, with more than 40 species of dinosaurs under a 500,000-square-foot dome. We were initially disappointed with the decision to go with animatronic dinosaurs instead of real ones but after some consideration, we think this might actually be better since (a) robots won’t eat anyone and (b) they don’t poo as much. Restless Planet, which will be a part of an entertainment complex called City of Arabia, is expected to open in “late 2008,” and we will definitely be first in line.
