The T-rex is back! The pterodactyl is still there as well, back in the trees a bit on the turn of the paved road.
[Spyder Kumo, 10/11/2022]The dinosaur was gone, but the pterodactyl was there, and it's awesome. Keep a keen eye out for some goats.

We were in York for the day, and decided to check it out. The T. Rex is not there. The pterodactyl is kinda cool. If you're in the area and like this kind of thing it's ok; I do wish the T.rex was still there.
[Pete Doane, 05/07/2019]Was just there on 12/29/17....T.rex is not there anymore!

We drove to York just to check out the awesome T-Rex. Either he's excellent at hiding or he isn't there anymore. The pterodactyl is still visible.
