yeh the tickets were expensive, and so was the merchandise!! But I guess it was worth it. We only bought the programme ($20), not any of the other novelty things which were just as expensive.
It was like a documentary style - they had a "paleontologist" actor telling the story, through the triassic, jurassic and cretaceous periods, and different dinosaurs would come out for the different eras.
It also talked about the split up of the pangea continent, the rise of plants and flowers etc (with some nice air-inflated plants/trees).
When the dinosaurs came out, sometimes they just wandered around, other times they had a fight etc.
They were life-size, which was great. They really were huge. Makes you wish (in some way) you could see them alive now. The effects were great, they really did look real and had very realistic movement in all aspects (walking, movements, head movement, jaw, eyes etc).
The story ended at the 65m years ago time with a comet smashing into the earth.
I loved it.
