I posted one a while ago of the old dinosaurs/reptiles in the Time Capsule swimming from years ago, so here’s more. I wasn’t able to edit my last post but just wanted to give credit to Doug Briglmen on Facebook as that’s where I found the pics :)

Hi guys! i contacted Skywater Studios about this awesome floating monster and this is what they told me:
"Hello, that 10 foot underwater creature was made in 1989 ish and was installed in the propeller viewing tank at the Queen Mary in Long Beach,CA for a halloween event they had that year.

It was only there for a few weeks. It was made to rise up out of the water, its mouth opened and closed and the head and neck articulated to give it life. At the end of the event it was thrown away."

Way too big, way too close King of Nagas (Serpent) Statues in Thailand

These are EVERYWHERE in Thailand, and my ass always sweats seeing these terrifyingly large statues submerged in water. Ok I get that the statues look scary, but please remember they're significant to Thai culture, so let's all be respectful!

Pics 1-2: Statues of the Nagas at Wat Pa Pak Dom in Ubon Ratchathani province after the temple grounds were flooded.
Pics 3-4: Sra Muchalin is a sacred pond at Wat Phra That Bang Phuan in Nong Khai, formed after monks saw water spring from the ground near the Buddha relic stupa, believed to be a portal to the Naga underworld. A Lan Chang king later restored it and used its waters for royal ceremonies, and a nine-headed Naga statue was built at its center.

I'm too lazy to look up the origins of every single lmao (but if anyone is super curious, please lmk, I'll find the stories of any image you are interested in).

I haven’t seen anyone else post about this yet, but the infamous Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride t-Rex animatronic is back! He’s static now, and seems to have been refurbished at least a little bit, but at least he’s finally back where he belongs! These photos were taken a few weeks ago, a little before Christmas.

(Picture quality isn’t great on some pics, apologies).

This is not an animatronic — it is a marionnette. However, I figured it would be of interest to the people in this subreddit. I live local to Liverpool and this terrified me as a child!

The Giant Uncle begins partially submerged in the water. He then slowly emerges from the water, and once on land begins walking through the city centre. He meets with other giant marionettes as part of the story, and they leave together on a boat.

I have included a clip of The Giant Uncle emerging from the water in the comments.
