Meeting the Walking with dinosaurs Ceolophiysus

[takama]

Thanks to the make a wish foundation i got to see some dinosaurs in London back in 2007.

while i was there, i obviously had to stop at the Natural history museum.

at the time, they had this Dino Jaws exhibit going on, however one of the members in the exhibit had a weird resemblance to the Celophyisus in Walking with Dinosaurs

and since then i wondered if it was one of the animatronics used in the documentary

the following links were other dinosaurs at the exhibit but the last one is the star of this topic

So dose any one think it is the same, or a really good copy of the Celophyisus from WWD

I don't recall there being a "Celophyisus" in Walking with Dinosaurs, but I do know of a Coelophysis in Walking with Dinosaurs. ;D But anyway they do look awfully similar and I would say they did copy the color scheme from the movie. Great exhibit though.

The Natural History Museum recently hired out this exhibit to the Thinktank museum in Birmingham, and I went out and had a look. It's not the WWD Coelophysis - the show only used insert heads and CGI as far as I can remember - but it does resemble it somewhat.

The velociraptors and protoceratops look identical to the Asian Dinosaurs exhibit in the Natural history museum in London Horridus, Himmapaan and myself saw a few months back. Except the proto was alive.

I think Dr Adam mentioned some disappointment in not being able to have that last Velociraptor at the NHM for the Dino Jaws exhibition to make up a pack of three.
