well here is the dinosaur graveyard, it is
East Berlin, in the KulturparkPlänterwald, but it was not an asteroid that brought these animals down, it was
the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989,
the Kulturpark Plänterwald
had been the only amusement park in the German Democratic
Republic (GDR), there was no real coordination and theme, it was a mix of
attractions and rides, when the GDR collapsed Kulturpark Plänterwald quickly followed,
it enjoyed a brief
renaissance, as the wonderfully named Spreepark and the age of the dinosaurs
began, the original park was expanded and it reopened in 1991, moving towards a
more western model of Recreation Park, a single entrance fee was brought in rather
than individual charges for the rides and attractions, this one price fits all
policy together with a lack of parking space saw the attendance figures
plummet, only ten years after the park had reopened it closed in
1991, with massive debts of €11M, it has remained closed ever since, so with
the new Jurassic Park 4, or Jurassic World as it will be known coming out
soon any wannabe Steve Spielberg's should take a look at Kulturpark
Plänterwald, after all the main characters are just lying around!
