Spring Hill dino garage. Spring Hill, Florida - Gas Station Dinosaur

The Harold's Auto dinosaur was originally a Sinclair gas station in 1964, inspired by the Sinclair Oil mascot prominently featured in ads and on signs since 1930. Near Weeki Wachee Springs, it shares a short stretch of Rt. 19 in Spring Hill, Florida with the Pink Dinosaur a few miles South. Dino, an "Apatosaurus," stands 47 feet tall and is 110 feet long.

Spring Hill dino. Spring Hill, Florida - Two Dinosaurs

Two huge dinosaurs on US 19, just a mile or so south of Weeki Wachee Springs Waterpark (Intersection of Hwys. 19 & 50, near Spring Hill, Florida). Photo taken two years ago. My only regret is it's in black & white (that's the only film I had on me at the time), because this dinosaur is painted Pepto-Bismol Pink. Also located directly behind it is (or used to be) some kind of roadside-show featuring a two-headed rattlesnake. I'm not sure if it's still there. The other dinosaur, located about a mile south of the pink one. It's larger and gray, and houses an auto garage repair shop. [Stephanie Bissonnette, 03/11/2000]
