Remember the dilapidated roadside dinosaurs located near Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park? Believe it or not, those aren’t the only prehistoric abominations this country has to offer.

A couple weeks back, Brian Switek over at Dinosaur Tracking issued a call for pictures of the the absolute worst examples of roadside dinosaur models. A few days later, he posted some of the best submissions, and we must say… they’re pretty exceptional.
Featured here are a few of our favorites, including this picture of a civil war soldier… riding a deinonychosaur. It’s from a roadside attraction in Natural Bridge, Virginia called Dinosaur Kingdom, where members of the Union and Confederate armies ride dino-back and get devoured by a marauding T. Rex. I’ve never wanted to visit a place so badly in my life.
