In 1965, there was a giant Dinoland exhibit at the NY World's Fair. The Brontosaurus was a "big" (heh, heh) feature.[1] That was viewed by millions of visitors from all around the world. So, even if scientists decided in 1903 to deprecate it, obviously not everyone agreed. I had one of these plastic molded Brontosaurs as a kid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Childrens_Museum_of_Indianapolis_-_Sinclair_Dinoland_plastic_Brontosaurus.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Childrens_Museum_of_I... IIRC you got to watch the moulding machine at the fair make it for you once you put your $0.50 into it. Edit: forgot to add, in the 1960s in primetime, and in syndication for much longer, Fred Flintstone operated a "bronto-crane". I'm sure that had a lot to do with keeping Brontosaurus active in kid's imaginations.
