The next generation of amusement parks might include a "Jurassic Park." Scientific advances certainly make it possible to have life-size robotic dinosaurs roaming through a park, interacting with visitors and giving them rides. What once was a dream often becomes reality. What is thought of in books and movies inspires things that become real.

Why not a park with all kinds of lifelike robots? Peter Pan, Jack in the Beanstalk, Puff the Magic Dragon, etc. Salt Lake City’s slogan could be: Where wonderful stories are brought to life.

But if Salt Lake is to do this, it had better hurry. I would guess if an amusement park like this doesn't already exist, it will very shortly. The technology has arrived.
