The show originated in Australia, where after years of planning, it
came to life at Sydney’s Acer Arena in January 2007. The show proved
itself such a sensation, that the American tour was fast-tracked.  It
began just three months after completing its sold out engagements in
Australia.

Tim Haines, creator and producer of the original BBC series, which
was seen by a worldwide audience of 700 million, serves as Project
Consultant to Walking With Dinosaurs – The Arena Spectacular.  The
series won six Emmy and three BAFTA Awards.

“At its core, The Arena Spectacular manages to do what the TV series
did so successfully, which is to make people imagine they are looking
at real dinosaurs.”

Walking With Dinosaurs visits the M.E.N from 29th July until 2nd August, 2009.
