The construction of the Dinoparque advances in the Children’s Republic, but it will take longer than originally anticipated: it is estimated that will open its doors just for the winter holidays, which will begin on July 17. The project, which will reproduce the habitat of the dinosaurs that inhabited Argentina 150 million years ago with scale specimens, lakes, waterfalls and even a paleontological camp, presents progress of more than 30%.
The works started in January and, although it was estimated to be completed in April, it will take at least three more months. The goal is for it to be inaugurated for the winter break. The new theme park will add a great attraction to the Repu, which already generates expectation in adults and children and will strengthen tourism in the city.
“The replicas of the dinosaurs are almost ready; the megatherium habitat and the hologram cave are being built now which are advanced”they needed to 0221.com.ar sources linked to private entrepreneurship. And they added that the project suffered delays due to the “logical complications of any work”, but also due to the complexity in the assembly of some structures that carry stones -such as one of the walls of the megatherium- since it is “an artisanal work”. .
The new theme park will include six main posts that will allow to know the habitats in which the megatherians, the gyptodonts, the pterodaustros, the gasparinis saurus, the saber-toothed and the gigantosaurus lived. All the copies will be reconstructed to scale by Argentine artists who worked on the assembly of “Dino Land” in technopoliswith the advice of specialists from the Paleontology area of the Museum of Natural Sciences of the National University of La Plata (UNLP).
According to the map of the project to which this media outlet had exclusive access, the circuit will begin with the entrance to an excavation tent where the children will be able to play at being paleontologists and discover fossil remains, as an introduction to the tour. Then, the tour will take them to a hologram projection space where the story of the dinosaurs recreated in the park will be told.
The first habitat will be that of the megatheriums, the saber tooth and the glyptodont, to then move on to the artificial lake that will include a wooden bridge and several waterfalls. In the lake area will be the plesiosaurs and the pterodaustro. In the last posts will be the habitats of the gasparinis saurus and the gigantosaurus. Along the circuit there will be two places specially designed for family and group photos of the contingents that visit the park.
The walk will be completed with a small laboratory, where the children will be able to see eggs and baby dinosaurs; a souvenir shop and the Dino Bar, where there will be fast food and the classic “happy meal” related to the Jurassic theme.
The entire route will have ramps and access for people with disabilities, as well as exclusive days and times for those with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
