Lost Lands festival fans on Reddit have sparked a captivating nostalgia thread digging into the origins of the festival’s iconic dinosaur animatronics. On r/lostlandsmusicfest, one user shared a screenshot of a giant sauropod from Kings Island’s now-defunct “Dinosaurs Alive!” exhibit (which closed in 2017) and asked if it could be “Becky,” the beloved Lost Lands dino.
Community insights and speculation:
- The timing fits — “Dinosaurs Alive!” wrapped not long before Lost Lands began.
- Some theorize Lost Lands might have repurposed animatronics or static dino figures from Kings Island or other Cedar Fair parks that hosted the exhibit.
- Differences in poses and features fuel talk of reskinning or repositioning the animatronics.
- Enthusiasts suggested comparing photos of dinos from both events and potentially reaching out to festival organizers or Cedar Fair for official confirmation.
This Reddit conversation underlines a sentimental connection between fans who grew up marveling at dinosaur exhibits and now rave surrounded by these towering prehistoric figures. It’s a celebration of how Lost Lands’ dinosaurs may have a deeper history — perhaps having “grown up with us and now party with us.”
