Caryl Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Grant and I took Gareth and Dena with us to Auckland to see this show. It was brilliant! Very well done. Sorry about the poor quality pics but lighting was low and flash photography banned. Hopefully I have named all the dinosaurs correctly :roll: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v144/carylnz/Walking%20With%20Dinosaurs/?start=all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 What was the show exactly? Did it have a storyline/narration or was it dinosaurs walking around to music and you interpreted it yourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 My family and I have tickets to see this afternoons show So excited!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 It has Huxley, the narrator, who tells the timeline of the dinosaurs and we travel through time a few million years with him explaining how various dinosaurs developed as the planet did. It starts with some eggs hatching out and then moves on. Various dinosaurs appear and eat, interact and/or fight etc. There is dramatic music in the background and it is all very loud! Gareth has a short video of a bit of it in Facebook apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Are the kids (6 yrs old) tickets the same price as adult? If so $200 for 3 of us to go is just to expensive, we will end up going to transformers (sons preference anyway) instead. His Trophy Kart is soaking up any spare money at the moment.

I had a look at that aswell, and two adults and two kids is a bit more than I expected, my son is at transformers now, but they are keen for cars 2, so will rather take them to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'd definitely like to go see it, don't want to go to Auckland to do it though. Was all my geeky childhood dreams come true lol Huh, Interesting...My geeky childhood dreams involved more jets and buzzing towers. *Edit* Actually, on second thought so do my current dreams, but with more hot chicks.

critter_crazy Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I was a kid when the series first came out, I watched it all the time and spent many hours playing the computer game :smln: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-obstacle Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Best. Show. EVER! Was all my geeky childhood dreams come true lol I'm now happily stomping round the house in my new official Walking with Dinosaurs T-rex slippers :happy1: They had slippers? damnit! i avoided the merch stalls for fear of having to spend thousands on toys that don't last very long for the kids. i'd love some slippers! might go tomorrow and see if they're got the merch cart open on the courtyard. Oh, I went this morning (11am) too. It was rad. My kids loved it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
