They will join more than 100 prehistoric creatures at the site which have already been wowing visitors during its 40th anniversary.

It is set to be the largest collection of life-sized dinosaurs in Europe and so far its static models include 40 species such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Diplodocus, and Pterodactyl.
