This will be the tallest creature on show to the public.
The sculptures arrived overnight, and the public will get the chance to catch a glimpse of them until September 4.
Next month, a Brickosaurs! Unleashed event will be launched.
Guests will get up close and personal to some of the models, and take part in activities between June 18 and 19.

Experts from Bricklive International will be making a prehistoric armoured fish, with visitors getting the chance to see how parts of the sculptures are made.
They took more than 9,000 hours to make the models.
Children will also get the chance to see Marwell Zoo’s mascots, Poppy and Spike, roaming around the park.
Other activities include a children’s paleontology mystery, where they have the chance to win prizes by finding clues in dinosaur coprolites.
