Probably animatronic, very neat. Wonder if it is how fast it can actually run.

I had to watch the video a second time, after reading the comments. I had thought that it was CG.

Ha, didn't see the feet the first time. Though for the jaws its probably still animatronic, can't see the guy reaching down that far just to make the jaws move.

either, he has a little command console in there or a guy hidden in the crowd is working the jaws and the body lean i think. an external operator would mean that the dino would have the best reactions to external stimuli
edit: or i am just overthinking it

We had a show come through town not to long ago. It detailed the beginning of dinosaurs all the way to the mass extinction.
The smaller ones were exactly like that, think a giant puppet. The guy inside has a set of controls he can manipulate to make the dinosaur do all it's stuff.

but you have to think, what are we teaching these kids?! i mean the very first time they go back in time they will just walk up to the dino's and say "Cool..." then get eaten. that kid that ran had the right idea

Good point. We need more "20 children and 1 dinosaur enter, 1 child leaves" style scenarios in our education system.
