Dinosaur Kingdom II

Awesomely weird! I guess I slept through history in high school, because I don't remember dinosaurs being involved with the Civil War. There are a few QR codes placed along the trail in the park and when you scan one, an Oscar-worthy YouTube video pops up. There are also interactive exhibits at the beginning and a 10 minutes documentary about the dinosaurs involvement in the war. [Geoff Gingerich, 07/08/2018]

Dinosaur Kingdom II.

Dinosaur Kingdom

Natural Bridge has been a less terrifying place since 2012, when a fire destroyed the Haunted Monster Museum and closed the adjacent Dinosaur Kingdom -- a one-of-a-kind attraction where Confederate dinosaurs attacked Civil War Yankees. Despite the fire, all of the dinosaurs were saved by their creator, Mark Cline, and he's just announced that he hopes to open "Dinosaur Kingdom II" in June 2016.

Mark told us that the Confederates/dinosaurs theme will be expanded in the new attraction. "The Confederates will be 'borrowing' animals from Natural Bridge Zoo to combat the Yankees on dinosaurs," he explained. "An epic battle scene at the end will pit elephants, buffalo, and rhinos against horned dinos! I'm even throwing Stonewall Jackson into it. What a glorious mess it will be!"
