Testing animatronics dilophosaurus

[megaraptor456]

cool!!! the hands look funny and was the tyrannosaurus rex in the backround a robot too?

[dibley1973]

@megaraptor456:

The T rex was also animatronic, but not supplied to the park by our company.

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

This is above average when it comes to animatronics, but that's not saying much. Animatronics have never looked realistic to me.

[dibley1973]

@FluffyBunniesOnFire : Thanks.

[Lilmissyuzuki]

I wanted it to hoot like an owl : (

[Dracosgal8]

[icookatlvl3]

[gugenheidtaker]

his hands look gay

[molefish63]

the trick to avoid it's spit is to hide round the corner

[SporeTycoonDude123]

my dad had to do that when my brother was a baby

[KiteKatsumi]

Animatronics are so cool.

[siskavard]

[coldironhands1]

[starbabe58]

[Jaypawfan1]

lol its hands were funny. Awesome film

[weensie101]

Its arm movents r juss a it too stiff, head moves good!Good sound 2 it, too.Good scary dinosaur! (Don't eat me!!!Oh, and I agree 2 he fat man idea, good idea!)

[sairfaxroolz813]

Arm movements are a little too stiff, nothing a little compliance couldn't fix.

Head movements are great.

Good robot!

[togkort]

wasnt that a raptor??

[queeny1616]

now all we need is a fat guy in a yellow rain coat to get eatin by it NUMEN lol

[dibley1973]

LMAO!

[RavenclawStefan]

Ha ha! I don't know why, but the fat man reminds me of the 'numa numa' guy. Someone should make a music vid!

[matthewaikenpie1]

haha cool

[Dracosgal8]

I want to do that as a job that would be so cool

[raptorking9]

It's claws are looking retarded

[raptorcall]

the only reason dilpho could spit in jp is because its dna was alltered.

[shadowlordoblivion]

I saw this thing at six flags marine world but they F*&ked up the place by changing the 3d film to some gay star wars thing don't take me wrong I like star wars but they purposely ruined the animatronic dinosaurs by making them not move and just make noise the T rex was ruined by making it look faker

[ColdOneK]

where'd you learn to make that?

[dibley1973]

I picked up the various skills needed for my part of the animatronics over various jobs leading up to running the business.

[ColdOneK]

talk about giving an answer without giving an answer lol

[dibley1973]

Sorry ColdOneK... My part in making this was just the frame, pneumatic and control systems....

Mechanical and fitting skills gained as a motor mechanic and mechanical fitter. Engineering skills gained working at precision engineering companies. Electrical skills at various previous jobs. Pneumatic skills on the job. Programming skills on the Job.

Hope that is clearer?

[ColdOneK]

thanks for clarifying, I really want to get into this sorta thing(as a hobby), so it's good to know some starting points

[Xenomorph237]

@dibley1973 Is the Dinamation International Corporation still in business?

[dibley1973]

Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, North Devon, England.

[gorosaurus101]

awsome were is this at???

[mourizze]

I thought so. I saw the video when the spitting mecanism was being tested

[mourizze]

I saw that dilophosaurus on an animatronics website. It is supposed to have a spitting mecanism

[dibley1973]

That is correct. It does.

[jkh2nd]

There is absolutely no evidence that Dilophosaurus spit venom. That is just fiction based on Jurassic Park, which showed the infant Dilo displaying a frill and spitting venom. Why would they add something based on fiction and not reality?

[IceAngel1412]

that was really good!

[FullMetalOne]

nice -V-

[dibley1973]

Thanks. It was an enjoyable job making those, but just didn't pay the bills!
