MAGETAN - A video of a 'live' triceratops dinosaur descending from a truck has gone viral on social media. This dinosaur turned out to be part of the collection belonging to Mojosemi Dinosaurus Park in Magetan, East Java.
Deputy Commissioner of Mojosemi Forest Park Magetan, Honggo Utomo, said the viral video on social media was part of the promotion of Mojosemi Dinosaurus Park Magetan. This video can spread quickly because there are residents who accidentally recorded the shooting process of the dinosaurs descending from the truck.
The filming process was recognized by Honggo as part of the promotion of Mojosemi Dinosaurus Park Magetan. Promotion is carried out ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays.
"Incidentally we were given permission to open during this pandemic. We are pursuing a strategy of rebranding to become Mojosemi Dinosaurus Park. Because in our place, there are only other rides based on ordinary forest, forest park. We see the strength of differentiation with the rest, "Honggo told VOI, Tuesday, December 15.
The dinosaur that got off the truck was called Honggo, an animatronic, which was a combination of animation, electronics and robotics. This triceratops character was chosen because it has a very lively character strength.
"We, from the management, make a strength in building promotional narratives through visual videos, where we present an offer to the public about dinosaur characters that really live packed by dropping triceratops from trucks," added Honggo.
Indeed, many netizens questioned the involvement of the TNI when they pulled the rope when the triceratops was being removed from the truck. This is called coincidence.
"Coincidentally, every day the COVID-19 task force from the Magetan Military Command is always on standby at the Mojosemi tourist outpost. When they saw us carrying trucks and their shooting activities they joined in and participated. We just welcome, "said Honggo.
There is another scene prepared by the management besides the moving dinosaur getting off the truck. Namely the triceratops dinosaurs were introduced into their habitat at Mojosemi Dinosaurus Park.
“In the initial scene the handler is presented so that it is continuity. While in the next scene the handler trains to tame the triceratops. The last scene of the triceratops' closeness to the children was finally depicted by Mojosemi Dinosaurus Park as being child-friendly and educational, ”he continued.
The viral video of the dinosaurs getting off the truck had an immediate impact on visit rates. On this day, many people come to Mojosemi Dinosaurus Park.
"Alhamdulillah, from here (viral), even though there are many people uproar, at least we are quite happy. Mojosemi is increasingly recognized at the national and international levels, ”said Honggo.
