New Jersey Theme Park Puts Animatronic Dinosaurs on Facebook Marketplace as It Shuts Down

A New Jersey-based theme park, Dino Park, is shutting down and selling its animatronic dinosaurs on Facebook Marketplace. The park, which featured life-sized dinosaur replicas, is liquidating its assets as it permanently closes. According to the park's owner, the animatronic dinosaurs, which range in size from 8 to 20 feet tall, are being offered for sale at prices starting from $4,000 to $20,000. The owner advises potential buyers to have a large backyard to accommodate the massive creatures. The closure of Dino Park is attributed to the economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted the theme park industry. The park had been in operation for over a decade, providing visitors with an immersive dinosaur experience. The sale of the animatronic dinosaurs on Facebook Marketplace presents a unique opportunity for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone with the space to own a piece of the park's history. The move reflects the difficult decisions businesses have had to make during the pandemic to survive and transition.
