Following on from this weeks White Walkers frozen water feature at Custom House Square, giant foot prints at Portstewart and the three eyed crows as City Hall, a full size dragon straight from Khaleesi’s eggs (recently seen at St George’s market) will be appearing at Belfast zoo.
Tourism Ireland have been working to HBO’s exact specifications and using top prop makers to get the mythical beast exactly right, although whether the beast will breathe fire in addition to the state of the art animatronics that will bring it to life, is yet to be seen.
CEO of Tourism Ireland Niall Gibbons, commented that they are “delighted to continue our partnership with HBO in 2015, to highlight Belfast and Northern Ireland – through the exciting events of Game of Thrones – on the global stage. The campaign is building on the huge success of last year – when our campaign generated almost one million clicks, comments and shares and reached about 100 million fans across the world.”
