My grandson loves this dinosaur. He loves the lights, the roar and the fact that he goes alone. He loves it so much he took it to the bathroom with him. I thought it was a dead man. It was lit and walked on the water but didn't roar I think because the speaker was wet. But unbelievably, even after 20 minutes in the water it still works and with a good shake the thing roars again like nothing happened. And unfortunately it's still damn loud. We wrapped tape around the tail because it covers the speaker holes to reduce the volume a bit. I told my GS the dinosaur had a boo boo and the tape was a bandage so he couldn't take it off.
