Dinosaurs will be making their way to Australia.

Cedar Fair isn't the only company that is bringing dinosaurs back to life for their guests. Sea World Gold Coast in Australia has announced that they will be bringing dinosaurs to their park for the 2012 season.

According to e Travel Blackboard the park will be taking guests more than 65 million years into the past with displays of life-size dinosaurs, skeleton displays, and replica fossils from both the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. One of the star attractions will be a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex.

In addition to the dinosaurs guests will be able to explore an indoor jungle display, a fossil center, and an outdoor forest that is home to the dinosaurs. There will also be an excavation site attraction for kids to paleontologists and search for dinosaur footprints.

The dinosaurs are expected to come back to life by mid June 2012, according to e Travel Blackboard.

In a quote provided by e Travel Blackboard Village Roadshow Theme Parks Chief Executive Officer Tim Fisher said, "One of the attraction’s best features is that it’s highly interactive. Both the young and young at heart will be in awe as they watch the dinosaurs come to life, moving their heads and tails, breathing and roaring. Visitors will even be able to control the movements of some of the Dinosaurs using special interactive panels."

Sea World in Australia is also home to two coasters. The most notable coaster is the unique Intamin coaster Jet Rescue which is similar to a motorbike coaster, but it features trains designed to look like jet skis.
