Gondwana II Asteroid Scene

Located in the Saarland, Germany, this project is the second phase to ‘Das Praehistorium’, an intricate, educational experience set around a series of prehistoric immersive environments. The narrative for this project is a reverse evolutionary tale, starting with space exploration and ending at the extinction of the dinosaurs, with the famous asteroid impact. Visitors are led through a series of immersive spaces, each depicting a key stage in time from across the globe, until they arrive at a Cretaceous riverbed where the walkthrough climaxes with the world’s largest animatronic dinosaur show. The main show area is over 50m in length and the mother rears up to the height of a 4 storey building. This project worked closely with Natural History Museum, Crawley Creatures (Walking with Dinosaurs) and Japanese animatronics market leaders.
