| October 13, 2000 marked the Grand
Opening of the World's Largest Dinosaur in Drumheller. Approximately 4 times
larger than a life-sized Tyrannosaurus Rex, this is sure to be a main attraction
to anyone visiting Drumheller. |

| Inside
you will find 106 risers to climb to reach the mouth of the T-Rex. The walls
along the stairs which zig-zag to the top take you past various displays of
fossils. |

Once inside the mouth you can view the
town and river. The viewing area in the mouth is about 60 sq. ft and should hold
8 people at a time. |

This gigantic T-Rex is 82 feet tall
and weighs approximately 145,000 lbs. |

65 cubic metres of concrete and 16 pile
foundation anchors hold down the Dinosaur. |
