Sedayu said the Dinosaur Park attractions have been open since early 2019. However, due to the corona virus pandemic, the number of visitors who came has dropped dramatically.

“So I hope this pandemic passes soon, hopefully it can be crowded again,” Sedayu said.

Responding to netizens’ curiosity about the authenticity of the dinosaurs in the video, Sedayu said it was an attempt by the manager to present the dinosaurs as real.

“We made it as close to the original as possible, and it was also the work of the local people,” Sedayu said.

He said the dinosaurs were locally made vehicles, not imported from abroad or from the Jurassic Park movie studio.

“In the past we did import the materials, we studied them. Once we found them, we produced them ourselves,” Sedayu said.
