The UK Is Getting Its Very Own 'Jurassic Park' Style Experience

So cool.

Wouldn't it be great if you could go and visit Jurassic Park without the risk of getting trampled or eaten by dinosaurs? If this very thought has been your all-consuming desire since you very first laid eyes on Jurassic Park/Jurassic World, then do I have good news for you?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Fans of giant, extinct lizards can pay a visit the UK's first dinosaur theme park experience this summer. See, I told you I had good news.

Dinosaurs In The Wild was created by the team behind BBC's Walking With Dinosaurs, so we can assume it's going to be pretty fucking impressive.

It's described as a "70-minute experience that combines dramatic storytelling, scripted actors, and high-end digital graphics and animatronics to create a believable prehistoric world" and will be appearing at Birmingham's NEC from 24 June to 24 August before moving to Manchester from 7 October to 7 January 2018. Exciting.

Producer Jill Bryant told the NME: "We were keen to create something new that raised the bar for live action experiences and we're confident Dinosaurs in the Wild will do just that. This is a new dinosaur experience of unparalleled reality, where visitors will encounter these animals and their world in ways they have never seen before."

Visitors will be able to see nine dino recreations including a T-rex and triceratops. You'll also be able to put on a VR headset so you can see what it would be like to see through the eyes of a dinosaur.

And, if you think you're hard, you can test your strength via an arm wrestle with a T-rex, which I think I'd probably win, because if there's one thing we know about the T-rex, it's that they had pitifully small arms.

Who else is coming?
