Stegosaurus was my favorite too as a kid. These days I've grown more boring ig and I would probably go with T-Rex, but Stegosaurus will always have a place in my heart too.

Quetzalcoatlus, easy.
Velociraptor all the way, they could kill a T-Rex together.
Not according to the documentary Jurassic Park.
If we are counting anything prehistoric from Ark as a dinosaur then Chalicotherium, if only old school Dino's then Compsognathus.
Brontosaurus!
Mine's Aachenosaurus. It's such an interesting (if sad) story about how science works.
From Wikipedia: Independently in 1887, the name Aachenosaurus was created by the scientist (and abbé) Gerard Smets based on fossilized fragments of material that he thought were jaw fragments from a duck-billed dinosaur (a hadrosaur). However, the fossils turned out to be petrified wood, to the great embarrassment of the discoverer.
So while he advanced science by reporting his discovery and advancing a theory about what it was, he will forever be remembered mostly for how very wrong he was.
I wonder if trex looked more like a with a weird face than a modern lizard.
I just think it'd be funny to see a giant version of a chicken running around doing the chicken football thing except with a cow or something.
I see people listing their favourites... what is your favourite dinosaur?
Diplodocus. Far superior in looks to the brontosaurus
