The Busiest Month of the Year for Jurassic Extreme!

Hello Dinosaur lovers!

It’s busy, busy, busy over here at Jurassic Extreme Headquarters. It’s official. October 29th will be our busiest day in the Jurassic Extreme history. All six of our dinosaurs are booked and ready to go.

Aside from our birthday appearances, we return to Southminster’s School Fall Festival for a second time. Discovery Green has asked us to be a part of their Toddler Tuesday on Tuesday, October 11, 2016. Excited about that! Also, drum roll please….we are coming back to Sugar Land Town Square for much smaller scaled event on Friday August 28 and Sunday October 30th for their 2016 Halloween Town event. On Halloween, we will be at the City of Pearland’s Halloween Trick or Treat event. Last but not least, Jurassic Extreme will be invading Greenspoint Mall for a fun Halloween event.

As always, we would like to thank our awesome city of Houston for the support and love for our dinosaurs! Expect for more new walking dinosaur costumes in 2017!

Jurassic Extreme @ Sugar Land Town Square (Labor Day Weekend)

Question! What do you get when Houston’s fantastic four (Remy, Rocket, Razor, and Rocco) show up together for a free public appearance?

Answer: Total Pandemonium!

On Saturday, September 3, 2016, Sugar Land Town Square invited us to deliver a Jurassic spectacle like they’ve never experienced before. And that is what we did! We came, we roared, we conquered.

Jurassic Extreme Dinosaurs at Sugar Land Town Square Labor Day Weekend

It was a FREE event featuring Remy (Spinosaurus), Rocket (Trex), Razor (Velociraptor) and Rocco (Trex). Over 2,000 people showed up to witness life-like walking dinosaurs (not real dinosaurs! lol.. really?) to take over the Sugar Land Town Square.

After our dinosaur introduction, we invited two lucky birthday boys, Dawson and Chasten to take Rocket and Remy for a walk. Hey! It isn’t every day a kid can walk a dinosaur, right? This experience is a fun one to watch and it never gets old. It give kids the feeling like their walking their own pet dinosaur.

Racing Jurassic Extreme Dinosaurs

The event proceeded with lots of dancing, photos taken, and happy parents/kids everywhere. There were some kids that got to race all 4 dinosaurs! It was a true spectacle. We were enamored by all the dinosaur frenzy going on. It was pretty awesome to witness. As exciting as it was, it also became a bit overwhelming, to say the least.

First and foremost, we would like to state that we take safety as our top priority at every one of our free events. We were expecting a big crowd, but nothing could prepare us for the massive disorder we experienced on this evening. We’re always learning from every event, and we’re currently reworking our public program to ensure safety for all. The attendees and our staff/operators.

No kids were bitten by dinosaurs. Ha! No kids were lost. Everyone returned to their families safely. The event was a total success despite a few logistical hiccups. Hey! It happens folks. We’re not perfect. We’re simply here to give you and yours an awesome Jurassic experience.

Last but not least, we would like to thank Sugar Land Town Square, officers on duty, and everyone that attended the event. We hope you had a great time and enjoyed the Jurassic Extreme experience.

Stay tuned for more FREE events around Houston. We are already working on something different. Hint: robot handler!

Razor (Velocirpator) Cloned!

During our recent trip to San Jose, California, we met a scientist who has helped us modify and re-engineer our second Velociraptor walking dinosaur.

Of course, Razor is one of a kind, but our new Velociraptor will have feathers and eyes which will glow at night for those evening events. We felt it was time to introduce a feathered walking dinosaur costume. What do you think? This one is destined to be a crowd pleaser. Big news: New dinosaur joins our Jurassic Extreme family this fall. Stay tuned. 

A big thank you to Only Dinosaurs, our Chinese manufacturer, for continuing to provide us with the best costumes in the world!
