Dinosaur-shaped Building This dinosaur/garage is right down the road from Weeki Wachee. It appears to be in good condition. The base has sea foam colored tile near the entrance to the garage's office. It's eyes look like giant olives. It's a good little stretch of Florida roadside fun from the dinosaur to Weeki Wachee to Homosassa Springs. [Rick Kilby, 01/28/2009]
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.

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]
