I actually thought the screaming added to the fun.

I will admit that I saw it at the Iwerks Entertainment facility andas to not
have to stand in line, I enjoyed the film while standing
next to the seats. I thought it was a first class job all the way through.

I was so thrilled by the film, that SCSC is renting the Iwerks
facility for our August meeting, so all the members can take
Tony the T-Rex for a ride. There is a mention of the new Iwerks
3D ridefilms in the June 3D News and a photo of how real that
dinosaur really looks (as he chases this writer). As you have heard
before Dr T highly recommends the 3D News! An annual subscription
is only $20.00 USA ($25.00 Foreign Subscription).

Some footage from "Dino Island II" will be included in the large formatfilm
"Encounter in the Third Dimension", if you don't have an Iwerks
Turboride theater near you.
