Calling all budding paleontologists, shark lovers and dragon enthusiasts! VStar Entertainment Group, a leader in live family entertainment, today announced the debut of Dinosaur Time Trek™, two all-new interactive experiences that begin touring the U.S. in December 2017: Dinosaur Time Trek: Shark Edition and Dinosaur Time Trek: Dragon Edition. Dinosaur Time Trek: Shark Edition features dinosaurs and life-sized shark models spanning from prehistoric to present day. Present-day shark content showcased is curated by tour partner, OCEARCH, a non-profit organization with a global reach for unprecedented research on great white sharks and other large apex predators. Dinosaur Time Trek: Dragon Edition features animatronic dinosaurs, and dragons from three different cultures. To start trekking, guests can visit DinosaurTimeTrek.com for a list of upcoming Dinosaur Time Trek tour cities, dates, times and ticket information.

“More than ever, people are seeking immersive and experiential family entertainment, and specifically those experiences that engage the family as a whole,” said Eric Grilly, CEO, VStar Entertainment Group. Whether they’re digitally scanning fossils to discover what dinosaur bone they’ve found, solving the Race Though Time Labyrinth or using our ‘eggs-ray vision’ technology to see inside a dinosaur egg, Dinosaur Time Trek is an interactive attraction that offers memorable experiences through genuine engagement, and it provides hands-on and educational fun for the entire family.”

Upon entry to both Dinosaur Time Trek experiences, Dinosaur Time Trekkers are invited inside a Time Lab, which instantly transports them to different periods of time, from the prehistoric era to modern day to a mythological time. Throughout the experience, guests can observe and interact with giant lifelike animatronic dinosaurs, build their very own dinosaur on the “Design-a-Dino” touchscreens, visit the Time Trek Stage where they can meet baby dinosaurs or test their dino-knowledge with family and individual trivia contests.

Happy Halloween 2017 Readers!

Leave a comment

Hey there readers, I just wanted to wish you a very Happy Halloween. It’s one of my favorite times of the year and I just love all the garish and creepy decorations and costumes that one can find around their neighborhood. As I try to do each year, I’ve cobbled together some visuals that I’ve seen around during my travels. I didn’t go to any extensive hunting this year but did manage to find some cool things.

I like starting with my black cat Spooke and in this photo she is sporting a cute Court Jester collar that I got during the recent TTPM Event that I attended. It has bells on it and I think she looks great in it. I’m glad she lets me indulge in this silliness around the special holidays.

Now its onto a bit of spookified images. I didn’t really go all out in my own place this year but think that perhaps I will do something more next year.

Today Is “Halloween ComicFest” Day For 2017

Leave a comment

Today is “Halloween ComicFest” my fiends and much like the oft-discussed “Free Comic Book Day”, its the chance for fans of the medium to get their hands on several free comic books. This of course depends on your local retailer of the stuff and if they are even participating. I’d suggest making a phone call to the place where you snag your weekly titles to see if they will be doing anything for this event.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: Longtime visitors to the website know full well that we full enjoy the medium and do our best to support it with announcements like this one along with topical images. We know that among the issues being made available are a “Batman”, “Thor”, “DC Superhero Girls” issue and several more. There are not as many selections as during “FCBD” and all of this is while supplies last so I always suggest arriving as early as you can. Each retailer will have their own rules on how many a customer can take with them and remember much like “Free Comic Book Day”, the retailer is in face paying for these issues that you get to enjoy for free so do make sure to purchase some stuff from them as a little bit of thanks. My own shop has a myriad of items and yours should as well so consider grabbing an action figure for a franchise that you enjoy, a collected edition of a series of stories or even some comic bags and backing boards to protect the investment. If you secure any of the titles be sure to let us know down in the comments section below. A full run down of what will be available at the shops that made their orders can be found on the website linked below. Enjoy.

During my Day One explorations of the NYCC, I encountered the Schick Hydrobot and here is a good look at him.

He was not only taking photos with the attendees of the convention, but also inviting those of the appropriate age to make an appointment to get a fresh shave by a professional barber who would use the brand new Schick Hydro razor.   I said “why not” and made an appointment to return later in the day.
