There will also be several interactive attractions for families to experience together, including the chance to meet well-loved characters from the show like Rocky, Bill, Mazu, and Tiny.

A smaller play area will also be created with younger children in mind, where kids can play on a slide made from Gigantosaurus' scales.

New live stage shows and exclusive screenings of the hit TV show will also be aired in Gigantosaurus Land.

Dinosaur-themed food and drink will also be available to purchase.

While the themed land was originally set to open in 2024, two new rides opened at the family-run play park last year.

Swing-O-Saurus and Raptor Contrapor both opened to the public last summer.

Meanwhile, a new Gigantosaurus-themed track ride is also set to open later this year.

Park Director Adam Goymour told Eastern Daily Press: "We are constantly reevaluating long-term project plans to ensure we offer our guests the best product possible and continue to develop the business responsibly.  

"The decision has therefore been taken to postpone the full creation of Giganotosaurus Land for a short amount of time.  

"This change in our attraction timeline has been taken with our guest experience in mind."

There are plenty of other attractions at ROARR! Dinosaur Adventure to keep parkgoers entertained.

Located in the Norfolk village of Lenwade, ROARR! has its own Valley of the Dinosaurs, which features moving animatronic dinosaur models.

There's also a Fossil Dig, an outdoor adventure play area, as well as other climbing frames.

Other activities include a high ropes course, the eight-hole Jurassic Putt crazy golf, and shows at Dippy’s Theatre.

Younger parkgoers can also pick up a card booklet to earn stamps on their journey through the play park.

Entry tickets into the park start from £12.95 for a full-playing adult.
