Alton Towers dinosaur event features Spinosaur remains dating back 125 million years

Visitors can view a newly-discovered 125-million-year-old dinosaur remains at Alton Towers Resort this July - and can even see a replica skull of the beast. Fossil hunters on the Isle of Wight unearthed the remains of a massive Spinosaur in 2018 before publishing their studies earlier this year.

Pieces of bone belonging to the two-legged dinosaur suggest the land-based hunter measured over 10 metres from snout to tail and may be the largest predatory dinosaur ever found in Europe. Now the remains and the replica skull, which are usually on display at the Dinosaur Isle Museum on the Isle of Wight, are being transported to CBeebies Land in Alton Towers Resort, for a special three-day display from Friday to Sunday (July 15-17).

The fascinating new fossils will be appearing alongside a collection of interactive dinosaur activities and attractions, hosted by expert geologists from Dinosaur Isle Museum.
