Is Nagashima Spaland real? "World's first! Tyrannosaurus dissection and dinosaur discovery exhibition"

I went to the "World's First Tyrannosaurus Dissection and Dinosaur Discovery Exhibition" which will be held at Nagashima Spaland until May 8th (Sunday). The Tyrannosaurus specimen, measuring 13 meters (!) in size, was so well made that it was hard to believe it was the real thing, with not only the internal organs but even the fine hair reproduced.
I went to the "World's First Tyrannosaurus Dissection and Dinosaur Discovery Exhibition" which will be held at Nagashima Spaland until May 8th (Sunday). I went there with high expectations as it was an exhibit supervised by the National Geographic Channel. The location is inside the dome of Nagashima Spaland.
When you first enter the exhibit, you can learn about dinosaurs through videos. There is an easy-to-understand explanation on a large screen about the time when dinosaurs ran around and why they became extinct. After you finish, walk a little further and you will see a life-sized specimen of a Tyrannosaurus rex with a total length of 13 meters!
Not only the appearance, but also the internal organs and every single fine hair is made with such precision that you can't believe it's the real thing! The program ``World's First!'' was broadcast on the National Geographic Channel. A complete reproduction of the Tyrannosaurus specimen that appeared in "Dinosaur Anatomy" is being exhibited for the first time at Nagashima Spaland.
This specimen was created by Jez Gibson Harris, who created Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars. I was satisfied with the result when I saw the real thing (it's not a frog, but I was quite happy for Star Wars fans).
The 12m-long full-body skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex is also on display. I learned a lot about whether something this size was running around on the ground.
This is a Tyrannosaurus rex that moves when you press a button. The movements are so real! I couldn't help but take a photo. Just press the button, so even your children can enjoy it together.
There is also a board at the entrance where you can take a photo of yourself as if you caught a dinosaur, so be sure to take it as a souvenir. You can enjoy the truly realistic and well-made specimens, so it's worth seeing at Nagashima Spaland.
