Theme park at City of Arabia collects first dinosaur: Restless Planet, the Dh1.1 billion world class dinosaur theme park at City of Arabia, Dubai has taken delivery of its very first dinosaur. The Tyrannosaurus Rex, giant of the dinosaur world, was constructed in Japan by Kokoro Dreams who are the leaders in animatronics and partners with the Natural History Museum in London.

The giant dinosaur is the first of a total of 109 animatronic dinosaurs who will thrill visitors in the eagerly awaited edutainment attraction adjoining the Mall of Arabia which will be open in late 2008.

Restless Planet, which will tell in a highly dramatic way the story of the birth of Planet Earth and the rise and fall of the dinosaurs is being developed with the assistance of an international team, led by Jack Rouse Associates and includes the Natural History Museum of London and Dr Jack Horner, the famous dinosaur expert and adviser to Stephen Spielberg for the Jurassic Park movies.
