This has been in the works for quite some time and I've heard a lot of diff stories about it...some of which are :
It will include herds of roaming dinosaurs , the dinos will be fully mobile, will include flying and sea-going reptiles...the only ones I can confirm are that the dinosaurs will be able to recognize colors, smell real, could be capable of motion, and are being built by Kokoro of Japan.

I heard about this. For such a big money project, that video promo rather dampens my expectations.
I believe Kokoro are handling the dinosaurs. They're good at what they do, but I think they'll need to seriously up their game. I'd like to see it, but I don't want to have to travel that far to see a bunch of wobbly glued to the floor animatronics.
The Walking With Dinosaurs touring show has set a new level, and Kokoro will at least have to match it if they want to impress anyone.

Well Kokoro did do 1/3 scale walking dinosaurs already if I remember correctly...and Disney has one as well now....if they can actually walk and move on their own I'll be super-impressed.
Most of the articles you find on the project are out-of-date...I'd like to hear more new info myself.

I could give you an entire herd of baby Dimetrodon using a few sheets of plastic and a bunch of iguana. They would look at least as realistic as that elasmosaurus in the animation Altough I don't know what animal welfare would say.
