Dinosaurs once again roam the earth in a spectacular theatrical arena show, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience. Fifteen roaring, snarling “live” dinosaurs will mesmerize the audience – and are as awe-inspiring as when they first walked on earth.

Those 15 dinosaurs represent ten species from the entire 200 million year reign of the dinosaurs. The show includes the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the terror of the ancient terrain, as well as the Plateosaurus and Liliensternus from the Triassic period, the Stegosaurus and Allosaurus from the Jurassic period and Torosaurus and Utahraptor from the awesome Cretaceous. The largest of them, the Brachiosaurus is 36 feet tall, and 56 feet from nose to tail. It took a team of 50 – including engineers, fabricators, skin makers, artists and painters, and animatronic experts – a year to build the original production.

Brought to North America by The Creature Production Company, headed by CEO Carmen Pavlovic, the show is based on the award-winning BBC Series, “Walking With Dinosaurs”. Pavlovic said, “The BBC Series was a brilliant blend of special effects, escapism, excitement and information. Our show brings together all of that, plus something extra - it’s live!”

The show depicts the dinosaurs’ evolution, complete with the climatic and tectonic changes that took place, which led to the demise of many species. With almost cinematic realism, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS has scenes of the interactions between dinosaurs, and the audience sees how carnivorous dinosaurs evolved to walk on two legs, and how the herbivores fended off their more agile predators.

The history of the world is played out with the splitting of the earth’s continents, and the transition from the arid desert of the Triassic period is given over to the lush green prairies and forces of the later Jurassic. Oceans form, volcanoes erupt, a forest catches fire — all leading to the impact of the massive comet, which struck the earth, and forced the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Tickets to the show range from $27.50 to $65.00 and are currently on sale through Ticketmaster.com, OrlandoVenues.net or in person at the Amway Arena box office. The Live Experience will have evening performances at 7:00p.m. Wednesday, November 12 through Friday, November 14. Saturday, November 15 there will be an 11:00a.m., 3:00p.m. and 7:00p.m. performance and Sunday, November 16 there will be a 1:00p.m. and 5:00p.m. performance.
