There was a huge dinosaur model in this park since 1980; a brachiosaurus, I think. In the 90ies the model was in bad condition and had to be removed. For the 25th anniversary of the park the new model was donated by a Swiss retail company. It is an original sized model of a seismosaurus, a not very well known race, it was discovered 1979 in New Mexico and is the longest dinosaur we know of. The model is over 35 meters long and about 6 meters high. A tall adult can easily walk through between the legs without having to bend.
