Removal of the Dinosaurs & Dino-Rama Sign Completed in Dinoland USA at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Triceratops Spin, Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama!, Fossil Fun Games, and Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, the whole area known as Dino-Rama! is now walled off and extinct. Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama sign, including the four large dinosaurs surrounding the sign, is now gone. Along with Triceratops Spin ride is almost completely removed.
While this is all bad news for fans of Chester & Hester and the Dino-Rama area, there are some bright spots while the land is being rethemed. Dinosaur! is still open, and characters like Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Pluto, Goofy, and Chip & Dale are still meeting and greeting guests in Donald’s Dino-Bash. Furthermore, there is now a new band performing at the entrance to Donald’s Dino-Bash close to the Boneyard.
Eco-Rythmic is now performing daily in Dinoland USA starting at 9:20 AM, and the last show of the day is at 3:20 PM. Clap along while these percussionists with a passion for conservation perform Disney favorites on recycled musical instruments. (These are the same drummers who would have been on the boats traveling around Discovery River in Animal Kingdom.
The Dino-Rama sign which had a welcoming and a goodbye message has been removed, and there is no word on if it was just wrecked or if the figures have been preserved. Welcome to Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama. We are paying attention to the removal of Dino-rama for the giant dinosaurs removal. The large concrete Dinosaur has been welcoming guests to Dinoland USA since it opened, and it is massive. We are wondering how that will be preserved or if it just gets destroyed.
On the reverse side of the signage “Chester & Hester Say… See Y’all Real Soon!”
The space will be lush and sprawling, featuring a large fountain in the center where the villagers like to gather and tell stories. Additionally, a woodcarver has created a giant working carousel featuring his favorite animals from Disney stories. It’s a new take on a classic attraction that young families are going to love.
That’s not all that will be located here – the new land will include not one but two signature attractions!
A new Indy experience is set to arrive in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and will be different from any other Indiana Jones experience around the world.
In this new venture, the man with the hat has recently discovered a perfectly preserved Maya temple, and that can only mean one thing: it’s time to explore it. He’s heard rumors about a mythical creature deep within the temple — and he’s got to see it for himself. So, he brings us along on the adventure… but will there be snakes? We’ll just have to wait and see.
If you’re a fan of drawers, floors, and doors, let’s go! The first-ever “Encanto”-themed ride-through attraction is coming to Animal Kingdom, featuring the beloved Madrigal family from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film. Inside the Casita, Antonio has just received his special gift — the ability to communicate with animals — and his room has transformed into a rainforest. It’s time to go explore alongside him, and you never know what member of the family you might bump into…
Construction on the land is set to begin this fall and will open in 2027 — but don’t worry, you’ll still have plenty of time to experience Dinosaur again (and get that dino).
