Would the Confederates have won...if they had dinosaurs to help?

[shunoshi]

This is too awesome to be a fabrication. (http://io9.com/5084491/the-alternate-history-theme-park-where-dinosaurs-fought-the-civil-war) Mark Cline has created "Professor Cline’s Dinosaur Kingdom" in Natural Bridge, Virginia.

The attraction, called “Professor Cline’s Dinosaur Kingdom,” imagines a lost chapter from Civil War history. It supposes that in 1863, a group of paleontologists inadvertently stumbled upon a valley of live dinosaurs. The discovery comes to the attention of the Union Army, who, recognizing the destructive power of the giant lizards, decide to capture them and unleash them on the Confederate Army. Naturally, it results in Jurassic Park-inspired carnage

No one can control the dinosaurs!!!

Woah, woah so you're saying that the Civil War didn't involve dinosaurs? Well that sucks :(

Seriously this is crazily awesome! I wish I lived on the right continent to check this out!

Would the dinosaurs be holding weapons?

I give this exhibit props for the concept and the Allosaurus, but a minus for making the theropods in the way-outdated upright style from cheesy old films.

Dinosaurs are weapons.

The article seems to have gotten the armies mixed up...the description doesn't match the pictures.

[Superman's Dead]

Dinosaurs are weapons.

Can you dual-wield them?

Has anyone else read that What If series of counterfactual history essays? It has questions like what would have happened if the US lost at Midway, bla bla bla.

This should definitely be in there.

A Deinonychus travels forward in time and tries to kill Hitler.

The article is tricky. Basically a group of Union soldiers go to wrangle the dinosaurs to use against the South and end up dinner.

Ahh, love that Union stills wins... HAH!
