Mark Cuban wants to turn the Texas town he bought into a dinosaur destination
Dinosaur, Texas? It could happen.
When Mark Cuban bought the town of Mustang, Texas to help a family friend —
with the help of a disgraced ex-Mavericks employee — in 2021, he didn’t
have any idea of what he would do with it. That appears to have changed.
去年Cuban為了幫朋友的忙，買下Mustang這座廢棄小鎮，當時他完全不知道這要幹嘛，如
今他有了新的想法
When Cuban was a guest on “The Drew Barrymore Show” earlier this year (the
episode recently re-aired, reigniting the conversation), he told Barrymore
that he plans to turn Mustang into a dinosaur theme park. Yes, Cuban wants to
be a real-life DinoPark Tycoon.
年初Cuban上The Drew Barrymore Show時表示他想將Mustang打造成一座恐龍主題樂園
Instead of real-life dinos like something out of a Michael Crichton novel,
Cuban’s beasts will be life-size, animatronic models from Dino Don. Cuban
invested in Dino Don after the company appeared on “Shark Tank.”
Cuban想要做出真實大小的機械恐龍，將和Dino Don這家專門研究恐龍的公司合作，自從這
家公司上過Shark Tank實境秀後Cuban就一直在投資他們
“He makes the animatronic dinosaurs, these huge dinosaurs that look and
sound real,” Cuban told Barrymore of Dino Don’s owner, Don Lessem. “...We
haven’t worked through it yet, but there’s a chance we might change
Mustang, Texas to Dinosaur, Texas...but that’s a long shot.”
Cuban在節目上稱讚Dino Don的老闆Don Lessem：「他做出來的恐龍超級逼真，雖然我們還
沒開始合作，但我們有這個機會改變Mustang，將恐龍帶到德州，這會是個長遠的計畫。」
Dinosaur-themed destinations aren’t new to North Texas. Dinosaur Valley
State Park in Glen Rose, which has dinosaur footprints in the Paluxy
riverbed, is perhaps the most popular dinosaur attraction in the state. The
Heard Museum in McKinney also robotic dinos for their exhibit Dinosaurs Live!
Now, Cuban will have his own Jurassic Park in Mustang. His park will probably
fair better than John Hammond’s. Let’s just hope if the robotic dinosaurs
come to life after being struck by lightning that they’ll be as benevolent
as Johnny 5.
恐龍樂園在北德州已經有了，如今，Cuban將會有一座自己的侏儸紀公園，有可能比
John Hammond的更好，讓我們祈禱這些恐龍也能像霹靂五號一樣被閃電打到以後便產生自
我意識吧！
