Dinosaurs Walk Again

We went to this “Dinosaurs Walk Again” in Plaza Tenggara Senayan last Wednesday. I took a day off for this, and was quite excited for what we might enjoy. In fact, I bought the early bird tickets, because I was so sure that it must be something worthy to see.

But then, I was disappointed. The dino simulator ride, which I expected to be thrilling, turned out to be a small machine that can accommodate four kids only, so you can imagine the long queue. The dino train ride was so pathetic, with a similar quality that you can find in a kampong’s fair. The fossil dig was quite okay. The so called ‘3D Dino Movie’ was also no different from a ‘layar tancep’, and no 3D glasses were provided!

The only thing worth to see was the robotic dinosaurs with its sounds and lighting effects. But then again, it was a small area. We can see it all within just a 15 minutes walk.

Well, that was all from me, from my point of view, an adult who always expect something out of what she has spent. What about you? As always, you enjoyed the day, you did not care about the pavilions that offer things that do not go with the dinosaur theme, you did not complain about the poor quality of the entertainment and the un-organized lay-out. On the contrary, you asked if we can go there again one more time! Oh well, so much for my expectation….

We also did go there...
it was disappointing due to high ticket price (Rp. 150,000.- / person).
We thought it would be a great spectacles, but such a bummer...
(very much less than expectation - maybe they should put discount 50% for the ticket price)

Anyway, next time we'll try to be more careful for event selection.

Son,

As you grow up you will find out that things are not always what they seemed to be, and people are not always who they claim to be. Many of them would try to take advantage of others. Therefore, always be careful in whatever you do.

@ anonymous: totally agree with you. I have high expectation also because it was sponsored by SCTV. I think as the main sponsor, they should have a say on the quality of the event.
