The theme park "Shibamasa World" is located in Mikuni-cho, Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. The new attraction "Dinosaur Forest" is a hot topic because you can meet powerful dinosaurs!
The Sea of Japan as far as you can see, "Shibamasa World", a theme park that can be played for a full day wrapped in a fluffy lawn that can run around barefoot. The new attraction "Dinosaur Forest" opened here is the concept that "dinosaurs were alive in the vast forest of 26,000 m² in Shibamasa World."
"Dinosaurs, which would have been extinct, live in the woods of this turf world. It involves the unknown energy“ Dino Energy ”that occurs only in this forest, and as a result of research at the“ Dinosaur Institute ”(the building at the entrance of the Dinosaur Forest), it was found that Dino energy could be used for hatching eggs. For further investigation, join the attraction You will be a 'Dino Ranger' to explore the forest and collect more Dino energy."
In a story with such a mission, you can explore in the feeling that you have become the protagonist of the story, so to speak, collecting Dino energy in the forest where dinosaurs live. There are more than 60 dinosaurs living on the vast site, each dinosaur is large and the size is real. I'm glad that you can have a real experience as if you were lost in a dinosaur forest! How to collect Dino energy? What happens when you collect? I will introduce you after this.
If you visit "Shibamasa World" by car, you can freely move around the park by car. There is also a parking lot in front of "Dinosaur Forest," so please park your car there, right? (If you use public transportation, there is an occasional bus from Ashihara Onsen Station or Awara-yuno-machi Station depending on the period, so use a bus or use a taxi to get to "Shibamasa World")
At the entrance building (Dinosaur Institute), you will be accepted for participation in the mission and receive a "Ranger Card" developed for Dino energy collection.
In the forest, the "Dino Energy Box", a device developed and installed to collect the Dino energy generated in the forest, is installed in various places, and the Dino Energy is charged by finding this "Dino Energy Box" and holding up the "Ranger Card".
Finally, we return to the Dinosaur Institute and touch the "ranger card" on the dedicated terminal to hatch dinosaur eggs. The more dino energy is collected, the more rare dinosaurs will be born at that time. It is also interesting to change the dinosaurs that hatch depending on your hard work!
After receiving the above explanation at the Dinosaur Institute, we immediately set out to the "Dinosaur Forest"♪(It takes 30 minutes to explore "Dinosaur Forest"; there is no toilet in "Dinosaur Forest", so it is recommended to go before departure)
Explore along the promenade in the woods. Dinosaur Forest has a herbivorous dinosaur area and a carnivorous dinosaur area, and the first thing to pass is a herbivorous dinosaur area. From famous dinosaurs such as Triceratops, you can also meet Fukui dinosaurs such as Fuquisaurus and Fuquititan, whose fossils were discovered in Fukui Prefecture.
There are various dinosaurs, too fun! "Dino energy box" is easy to forget. I quickly found it, so I touch the "ranger card" like in the picture. It's fun to just explore the forest and observe dinosaurs, but it's a nice point to have a collection mission to collect dino energy. Let's look forward to exploring what dinosaurs will hatch.
All the dinosaurs in the "Dinosaur Forest" move and sometimes squeal, so it makes you wonder if it would be like this if there really were dinosaurs in modern times when dinosaurs have gone extinct.
As we walk through the herbivore area, more and more suspicious signs...
It seems that we have entered the carnivorous dinosaur area, and we will proceed while also observing the differences with herbivorous dinosaurs.
Look. The fangs are sharp! Because it is a fiercely carnivorous dinosaur area, it seems to be strong and pounding because we see the characteristics of the dinosaurs.
Oh... herbivorous dinosaur Iguanodon is being attacked by a herd of carnivorous dinosaur Velociraptors. Tense conditions are also characteristic of the carnivorous dinosaur area, aren't they?
As we walk along, the "mysterious giant dinosaur bones." Let's go through here. What kind of dinosaur stuff, it seems to be under investigation at the Dinosaur Institute.
By the way, "Dinosaur Forest" is OK for photography. Like the picture, "I found the dinosaur!" it may be good to try your finger or shoot with a surprised expression or pose. If you find a favorite dinosaur or favorite, please take a photo shoot (it is NG to touch dinosaurs and exhibits).
Will it soon be the exit of the forest? To a somewhat seedy atmosphere .... The climax is about to begin.
Oh, my God! Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus come out. There is a production here, but it is a pleasure since I went, so please try to experience it directly. I was most impressed by walking along.
There were various dinosaurs and fun contraptions this time, but I want you to actually go and feel surprised and impressed, so there are a lot of parts that are not introduced! Please go to the actual experience.
And then we arrive at the Dinosaur Laboratory, where we touch a dedicated terminal with a "Ranger Card" that has Dino Energy in the "Dino Energy Box".
Hey! Triceratops was hatched with my Dino energy this time. The dinosaur rank (S ~ C rank) is determined according to the amount of Dino energy collected, and the dinosaur hatched according to the rank.
In addition, you can get a dinosaur "dinosaur card" that you have hatched, so this time you get a Triceratops card. There are so many kinds of dinosaurs to hatch, so it's good to compare the cards with the people you went with.
A walk-through attraction (an attraction that walks along a set road) that makes use of the natural forest, so it seemed good for exercise. Next time you come, you may get a different kind of card, and it will be exercise, two birds in one stone!
There is also a goods sales area in the Dinosaur Institute building.
We recommend Dinosaur Forest Original "Puchiraptor Plush" (S, M, L). In addition, there are many other items about the original acrylic stand, towels, and dinosaurs.
By the way, next to the Dinosaur Institute, there was also the "Holy Land of Lovers": the sea that spread in front of you. It was cloudy at the time of the interview, but when it is clear, it is more beautiful, so please stop by.
