ROCKARTuk's monster hit at Jurassic Parrr

Driving range company World of Golf have opened a new £500,000 dinosaur themed adventure golf attraction, Jurassic Parrr, at their Glasgow site.

The project was managed by theming specialists ROCKARTuk, and the attraction features realistic animatronic dinosaurs created by the team behind the BBC's Walking With Dinosaurs TV series.

The 72-bay all weather driving range at Glasgow currently attracts 120,000 visitors a year, but with the addition of adventure golf, World of Golf hope they have created a major tourist attraction as well as encouraging children to take up golf and also bringing 16 much needed jobs to the area.

ROCKARTuk provided the master planning for the project, developing a narrative for the course that revolves around the character Professor T. Bunker.

Each of the 18 holes is individually themed, with players putting balls into a real 'crashed' helicopter, a make-shift radio room and the jaws of a "wormasausorus".

Motion activated sounds and lighting effects around the course, together with the animatronic effects of the lifelike dinosaurs - breathing, blinking, swishing tails and roaring - create a multilayered interactive experience aimed at five to 12 year olds.

The 2,500sq m course has holes up to 15m long, which allowed room for ROCKARTuk to go wild and create a superb backdrop for both the dinosaurs and the mini golf game.
