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为了帮朋友的忙，买下Mustang这座废弃小镇，当时他完全不知道这要干嘛，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时表示他想将Mustang打造成一座恐龙主题乐园
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想要做出真实大小的机械恐龙，将和Dino Don这家专门研究恐龙的公司合作，自从这
家公司上过Shark Tank实境秀后Cuban就一直在投资他们
“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在节目上称赞Dino Don的老板Don Lessem：“他做出来的恐龙超级逼真，虽然我们还
没开始合作，但我们有这个机会改变Mustang，将恐龙带到德州，这会是个长远的计画。”
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.
恐龙乐园在北德州已经有了，如今，Cuban将会有一座自己的侏罗纪公园，有可能比
John Hammond的更好，让我们祈祷这些恐龙也能像霹雳五号一样被闪电打到以后便产生自
我意识吧！
