A Drone Flew High Above An Uninhabited Theme Park In Arkansas And Caught The Most Incredible Footage
Drone footage reveals the remnants of the once-famous Dinosaur World theme park in Beaver, Arkansas.
What used to be the world's largest dinosaur park now sits in silence. Although the park is closed we can still have a pterodactyl's eye view with this drone footage. Let's learn more about the old theme park as we soar above Dinosaur World.
Forgotten from time, Dinosaur World is a relic of Arkansas history.
The theme park was abandoned in 2005 but still stands off the highway in Beaver, AR. No trespassing is allowed but drone footage does give us a peek at the prehistoric park.
The park used to be a famed tourist attraction back in the 70s.
The park originally opened as "Farwell’s Dinosaur Park" in 1967 but was renamed "John Agar’s Land of Kong" after new ownership in the late 70s. The park had quite a few records including largest dinosaur park at 65 acres, the world’s largest Noah’s Ark Mural, and the world's largest King Kong.
From above you can still see what's left of the original herd.
The park used to have a hundred sculptures of dinosaurs, cavemen, and other odd prehistoric creatures including a gargantuan spider. Emmet Sullivan was the designer behind the sculptures. You may be familiar with his larger artwork, the Christ of the Ozarks statue.
Most of the park has been reclaimed by nature or destroyed.
Overgrown brush has covered quite a few of the remaining fossils of the park. In 2011, the park's main building was burnt down as well.
This pterodactyl's eye view of the park gives a small glimpse of what used to be big Arkansas attraction.
See how many dinosaurs (and other creatures) you can spot in this drone footage:
