Description
Blue Planet is an extensive dinosaur themed walkthrough with various dioramas. At the beginning and ending, there is an elevator and at the heart of the attraction is the ''Dino Tour'' simulator. It uses a physical set and is styled as a ride through the jungle in a vehicle with some sort of devilish figure behind the wheel. During the tour, a Tyrannosaurus attacks.
The ride also goes by the names "Urgewalt der Giganten" (Force of Giants) ''Die Dinowelt'' (The Dinosaur World) and "Der Jurrasic Park".
It costs €5,00 to ride. Keep in mind that opening times are irregular and not communicated. You have the best chance of visiting Blue Planet on a Friday or weekend day afternoon.
History
Originally, the same building also housed the 'All Star Restaurant', which had an American theme. Among others, a model of the Chrysler Building was featured on top. The rest of the exterior consisted of building facades in different styles. The side of the entrance to Blue Planet it featured models of dinosaurs on the roof.
During the 2008 season, the majority of the facade was covered up with rockwork. The area around the entrance booth however, still resembles the original style. The rotating lift with video projections, that takes guests up to the first floor, was also added this year.
