My interpretation of a Dolly Shot is similar to a Tracking Shot, in which a subject is followed by the camera with the camera in motion, but a Dolly is used in the process (essentially rails in which the camera is set upon and moved along). This results in a less shaky scene take and allows smooth seamless movement possibly in a circle around a subject(s).
I think this technique was used to easily and smoothly circle around the giant creature, allowing more of it and its detail to be viewed by the audience and also for more of the large set to be on display as well. The use of a dolly adds to the smoothness of the movement around the dinosaur giving a more pleasant transaction around the room while keeping the main focus of the creature, yet also at the same time showing of the warehouse scenery adding to an isolated and tense atmosphere.
