Jurassic Quest - legit?

[The Shrike]

You've probably seen ads for Jurassic Quest -- the family fun animatronic/dino-puppet show delighting children of all ages in convention centers and fairgrounds across the US.

Does anyone have any firsthand experience with this thing? They seem to be all about the fun of seeing giant, moving dinosaurs in the flesh/foam and don't make any claims about educational value on their website. I wonder if there is a pro-creationism agenda at work with them, however. You can ride 5 different types of dinosaurs, but are there signs that say things like "Now you can ride a dinosaur just like Adam did!"? Corporate HQ is an address in Texas, so that doesn't give me any more confidence.

So, does anyone have any experience with this thing?

I don't have any experience with it, but the website (under the "attractions" tab) does say that they have paleontologists who explain what the environment was like 65 million years ago, and faux fossil digs where kids can uncover "secrets like the ones that have been hidden for millions of years".

So. at least they are not young earth creationists.
