Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can these dinosaur amusement products work both indoors and outdoors?A1: Most items can be used outdoors, but you need to take some precautions. Silicone-skin animatronic dinosaurs, ride-on cars and incubator labs should avoid long-term direct rain exposure. For outdoor sites, please add rain shelters. Fiberglass props like photo-op dinosaur eggs can withstand all-weather outdoor use with no extra protection.

Q2: How long is your standard production lead time?A2: Stock items can ship within 7-10 working days. For custom-made single animatronic dinosaurs or custom ride-on cars, lead time is 15-20 working days. If you place a big bulk order with multiple different dinosaur products, production will take 25-50 working days, depending on project complexity.

Q3: Do you support custom voltage and local power plugs for different countries?A3: Yes. All our electric-powered dinosaur amusement rides support custom local voltage and regional power plugs. We can make EU, UK, US, AU and other regional plug standards to match your local power grid requirements.

Q4: What happens if the equipment breaks after arrival? Is spare-parts support available?A4: We provide 12-month warranty for most products. Consumable parts like tires, bearings, batteries and silicone skin are not covered by warranty. Every order ships with basic spare-part kits and repair materials. Many of our devices use modular-design control boxes, so you can swap the whole unit instead of doing complicated on-site circuit repair.

Q5: Do you offer installation support for large animatronic dinosaurs?A5: Most medium-sized products can be installed following our video guidance. Very large dinosaur models are pre-split into several sections for sea freight. We provide free remote video installation guidance. For huge exhibition projects, we can also arrange our professional technicians to travel to your site for paid on-site assembly service.

Q6: Can I mix different products to build a full dinosaur exhibition package?A6: Absolutely. Many global customers combine animatronic dinosaurs, ride-on cars, wearable costumes, incubator lab and photo-op props together for complete dinosaur shows. We can help you make product combination suggestions based on your venue size, budget and target visitor group.

Q7: Are your dinosaur products available in both realistic style and cartoon style?A7: Yes. Almost all our dinosaur amusement rides and exhibits support realistic animatronic style or cute cartoon style. You can pick colors, body shapes and surface textures according to your project theme.

Q8: What shipping options do you provide for overseas clients?A8: We mainly use export wooden crates for safe packing. We support sea freight, air freight and express delivery. For large-size exhibits, we will split the model to fit standard shipping containers. We can share packing dimensions and weight data for your freight agent to calculate shipping cost.
