Closing
UPDATE: The last day to experience TriceraTop Spin at Animal Kingdom is January 12th, 2025. Construction walls will be placed around the area on January 13th.
This ride will be closing in 2025 as DinoLand starts its transition into a Tropical Americas land called Pueblo Esperanza. This new Tropical Americas land will feature Encanto and Indiana Jones.
Walt Disney Imagineering is planning to reimagine DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park into a new land inspired by a region sometimes referred to as “tropical Americas.” As part of their research, Imagineers are looking at some of the most biodiverse areas on the planet in the regions just north and south of the equator in the Western Hemisphere – the northern part of South America, stretching up into Central America.
