The current state of this page is quite lacking in terms of content so to say. Might I suggest the initiation of a full scale archiving process from all the social media outlets and the official website that this thing has....while all of it is still online/intact that is.

The reason I'm writing this is due to the fact that when the show has arrived to my country this April (for the second time, the first one being April 2010), it was heavily implied by the promo materials that this tour would be their last or at the very least, after more than a decade of tours, the concept of concluding it has finally crossed the founders' mind. Jurassic World Live has premiered this September afaik, serving as an effective rival to this aging show in terms of franchise popularity.

The official website's licence for example was not renewed for 2019, it still states 2018, two days away from 2020. Also in this very moment there aren't any clues for plans relating to any future tours, the official website has a single date listed for Taiwan, one which has occured exactly one week ago.

To top all this, the show's Twitter and FB pages were not updated for months.

While I right now don't have the time to do this, here are a few tidbits of infos about the show that I might as well drop by to help with the documentation itself (personal experiences too).

Many of the dinosaur assets were updated mid-way through the show's runtime. I have no idea when exactly, but back in 2010 when I saw the show myself the Rex, the Raptors and the Ornithoceirus didn't have protofeathers on, also the Plateosaurus was repainted in a very strong green tint. Visual proofs for these changes can be found even on the official website by browsing through the image archives and the various youtube recordings made by attendees can help you to track down the exact(ish) date of these changes.

The magnificent soundtrack that at some points rivals the original show's quality absolutely must get noted. Dunno about it's current accessibility, but physical CD copies of the soundtrack are/were available during the show itself from the established souvenir shop alongside with figurines, posters, books, sticker books, T-shirts and perhaps even more that I can't recall right now. Update, scratch that, I found a website that lists all the merchandise: http://www.thaiticketmajor.com/shopping/dinosaur-merchandise-eng.php

The official website itself is not too elaborate either in terms of general structuring, the picture assets can be accessed with a simple right click without additional workaround. It's a considerable amount of work I'm sure, but one that really should be done before the official sources become unavailable.
