Scotland: World of Golf in £500k dinosaur expansion

From Business7.co.uk: World of Golf in £500k dinosaur expansion
World of Golf Glasgow has invested £500,000 in an adventure golf course with moving dinosaurs.

The business has created 16 new jobs as a result of the project.

The 18-hole course - called Jurassic Parrr and aimed at children between five and 12 - features a number of animatronic dinosaurs and has a storyline featuring a time travelling adventurer.

More than a mile of steel rods and around 400 tonnes of concrete were used in the creation of the attraction.

Yvonne Park, general manager, said: "We believe Jurassic Parrr is an exciting adventure and test for children and families.

"The life-size dinosaurs have been created by the team behind the BBCs Walking With Dinosaurs series, so they are extremely realistic.

"The longest is the baby Brachiosauros, which is 15 metres long but the star of the show is the T-Rex.

"We all know how much children are fascinated by dinosaurs so this interest combined with a sporting adventure is, we hope, going to be a big hit."

The venue, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, had more than 120,000 visitors last year and 10 million balls were hit at its floodlit driving range.
