Fresh imagery highlights visible milestones across the site, signaling progress toward a 2027 debut.

Overview

  • New overhead shots capture interior demolition inside the former DINOSAUR attraction and removal of extended-queue elements.
  • Structural steel is now being installed for the Encanto attraction’s entrance and queue after the show building was topped off.
  • Imagineering is testing themed finish mockups at a nearby project compound to lock in colors, textures, and materials before full-scale application.
  • The carousel’s circular foundation is in place with a yellow moisture barrier, and framing is underway on the entry village that will form Pueblo Esperanza.
  • Disney has confirmed the plan to convert DINOSAUR’s ride system into an Indiana Jones experience, with Tropical Americas reported to open in 2027.
