Hong Kong Space Museum to launch new dome show "T. REX" (with photos)
*******************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Space Museum will launch a new dome show, "T. REX", at its Space Theatre from tomorrow (March 15). Combining the latest scientific discoveries with computer-generated imagery, the show will take audiences back in time to the Cretaceous period 67 million years ago to explore how the T. rex become the ultimate ruler in an era when giants ruled the Earth.
      
     The show will take audiences to follow palaeontologist Dr Tyler Lyson and his palaeontological team to the Hell Creek Formation in Montana, the United States, where three children made the unexpected discovery of T. rex fossils. The show will also recreate the challenges in a T. rex's life from a timid newborn dinosaur to an apex predator. Newborn T. rexes grow from the size of a domestic cat to nearly human-sized at an astonishing rate in the first year, and hone their hunting skills through playful activities as they prepare for future survival. Juvenile T. rexes were able to hunt medium-sized prey like the Edmontosaurus. The show is filled with thrilling scenes, including a T. rex defending against threats from powerful rivals such as the Quetzalcoatlus to protect its young, an epic life-and-death battle against a Triceratops, and the fierce conflicts among siblings during pack hunting.
      
     The 42-minute show will be screened until December 14. Screening times are 5pm on weekdays and 11am, 3.30pm and 8pm on weekends and public holidays respectively. Tickets priced at $30 (front stalls) and $40 (stalls) are now available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). For details of the show, please visit hk.space.museum/en/web/spm/shows/dome-show/trex.html, or call 2721 0226 for enquiries.
          
     The Hong Kong Space Museum, located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays).
