Dinosaurs stomp into Vallco Fashion Park

For one magical month, dinosaurs will come back to life. And they will tour Vallco Fashion Park. "Dinosaurs Alive!"--an exhibit of eight life-sized robotic dinosaurs--will take place Oct. 4 through Nov. 2 during regular mall hours. The dinosaurs, on display throughout the mall, will include a 17-foot-tall, 42-foot-long tyrannosaurus rex. Visitors can also see a three-horned triceratops, as well as a stegosaurus, known for the upstanding plates along its back. All eight of the dinosaurs will be surrounded by prehistoric landscapes. The robots are created by Dinomation International Corporation, based in Irvine and known for creating scientifically accurate robotic dinosaurs.
