MemberTyrannosaurus RexMay-28-2014 4:34 PMYou can even tell the thing is a reconstruction. Figures the Japanese have a replica. How big is it anyway?
Nice list, though I myself would have the Tyrrell higher up. Maybe it's because I'm Canadian, maybe it's because Albertosaurus is one of my top 3 favourites and they have a big ass Albertosaurus exhibit. Who am I kidding? It's both.

MemberCompsognathusMay-28-2014 4:46 PMThe Jap skeleton is 55 ft(not too bad in my opinion).
Personally, I would have put the Carnegie up higher, but I had to be as neutral as possible.

MemberAllosaurusMay-28-2014 4:47 PMThis is a good list! I'd put this travelling exhibit I saw once as an honorable mention.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexMay-28-2014 4:53 PM55 feet is a reasonable maximum for the animal, if you ask me of course.

MemberCompsognathusMay-28-2014 6:05 PMI agree(I say 46-56 ft, so it's right there for me). I'll be seeing the Chicago Filed Museum and Dinosaur National Monument next year when my dad and I take a road trip out west. Can't wait.
Something Real
MemberTyrannosaurus RexMay-28-2014 8:59 PMREX FAN 684 - Wow! Those are some extremely fascinating locations you've presented! I would absolutely love to see the Smithsonian and the Chicago Field Museum - I've heard they're magnificent. Thank you so very much for bringing this to us! I'll definately try to have a go at them! :)

MemberTyrannosaurus RexMay-28-2014 9:01 PMMR.HAPPY9097 - Ugh! You're right! That Spinosaurus is quite obviously a reconstruction. I like my dinosaurs to look like they're made of bone - not particle board! ;) Regardless, it is a rather neat reconstruction. :)
