The Dinosaur Park is situated on Sir Robert Norramby's estate at Ulfstead.
History
The park was constructed with the help of Harvey, Samson and Millie. Four dinosaur models were delivered to the park by Samson on his first visit to Sodor.[1] These were initially delivered fully-constructed, however were disassembled shortly after arrival and later reassembled within the park itself by Harvey. The models were originally all static, however an encounter Millie had while Harvey was unloading the Megalosaurus head gave Sir Robert the idea to install animatronics and sound into the Megalosaurus model.[2]
As well as many animatronic dinosaurs, there is prehistoric vegation and a model of a volcano in the park. The model did not originally let out real smoke, but after Millie used it to play a trick on Samson and Harvey, it was modified so that it would let out smoke, simulating an eruption.[2] Two dual-gauge Estate Railway tracks run around the park in a balloon loop formation, accessed from the castle grounds via a tunnel.
