Disney4me Posted yesterday at 01:07 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:07 PM It’s the beginning of the end for this beloved Animal Kingdom ride. DinoLand U.S.A. Animal Kingdom is undergoing heavy renovations to make way for the Pueblo Esperanza expansion, and we’ve just taken another step closer to change. In January of this year, TriceraTop Spin, Fossil Fun Games, and Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures were permanently closed, and construction started almost immediately, clearing the land of any possible dinosaurs. Chip and Dale in Dinoland! Closing dates for the rest of Dinoland, including DINOSAUR, the Boneyard, Restaurantosaurus, Dino-Bite Snacks, and Trilo-Bites, have not been announced, but Disney has been saying that “2025 is your year to visit before it goes extinct.” Restaurantosaurus Disney filed a new permit a few days ago for the DINOSAUR area to “provide labor, material, and/or electrical for construction.” That sounds like they’re ready to work! DINOSAUR Because DINOSAUR is close to other already extinct areas, this could be for additional construction within the closed areas, or it could be for DINOSAUR itself. Disney has been saying that the rest of Dinoland will remain open for all of 2025, but it looks like Disney is getting ready to turn the attraction into the new Indiana Jones ride. ©Disney || Tropical Americas Land coming to Animal Kingdom To make us a little less sad about losing our Dinoland (how will we ever catch that dino again?), we’re trying to focus on the new fun we’re getting. There will be a new Encanto ride that will take you inside the Madrigals’ Casita… ©Disney …an Indiana Jones attraction that will replace DINOSAUR and will feature a brand-new storyline… ©Disney …and a carousel with different sculpted Disney animals! This expansion is set to open sometime in 2027.
