Big Changes Coming to Animal Kingdom’s Dinoland!
Remember Dinoland U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom? You know, the land with the big dinosaur and the carnival games? Well, get ready, because big changes are coming! Disney has exciting plans to transform this part of the park into a brand-new area called Tropical Americas!
What’s Tropical Americas?
Imagine a lush rainforest filled with exciting adventures! That’s what Tropical Americas will be like. It’s going to have three main parts:
- Pueblo Esperanza: This will be like a bustling village in the heart of the rainforest. Think of it as the main street of this new area. It’ll have a huge restaurant (one of the biggest at Disney World!) and a fun carousel with rainforest animals.
- Encanto’s Casita: Remember the magical house from the movie Encanto? Well, you’ll be able to step right inside! This will be a fun ride where you’ll explore the enchanted Casita and meet all the amazing Madrigal family members.
- Indiana Jones Adventure: Get ready for a thrilling ride through the jungle with the legendary Indiana Jones!
Saying Goodbye to Dinoland
To make way for Tropical Americas, some of the things in Dinoland will have to close. Think of it like rearranging your room – you need to take out the old stuff before you can bring in the new!
Dino-Rama, the carnival area, is likely to close first. This might happen even before the end of 2024! Don’t worry though, you’ll still have plenty of time to enjoy the games and rides there before they’re gone.
When Will the Dinosaur Ride Close?
The big question everyone has is: When will the DINOSAUR ride close? Well, that’s a bit of a mystery, but we can make some guesses based on how long it takes to build new attractions.
It’s possible that DINOSAUR will close sometime after Spring Break in 2025. This would give Disney enough time to transform it into the awesome Indiana Jones Adventure before Tropical Americas opens in 2027.
Why All the Changes?
You might be wondering why Disney is making all these changes. Well, part of the reason is that a new Universal park called Epic Universe is opening in Florida. Disney wants to make sure that Animal Kingdom is just as exciting, so they’re adding new attractions and experiences that you won’t find anywhere else!
In a Nutshell
So, here are the main takeaways:
- Dinoland U.S.A. is being transformed into Tropical Americas, a lush rainforest area with new rides and experiences.
- Dino-Rama is likely to close first, possibly before the end of 2024.
- The DINOSAUR ride is expected to close sometime after Spring Break in 2025.
- All these changes are part of Disney’s plan to keep Animal Kingdom super exciting!
We’re all eagerly waiting to see what Tropical Americas will be like! It sounds like it’s going to be an amazing addition to Animal Kingdom. So, get ready to explore the rainforest, meet the Madrigals, and join Indiana Jones on a wild adventure!
