Overview
- Disney crews have moved quickly from closure to active teardown, with guests reporting loud construction activity around the former land.
- The Dinoland U.S.A. entrance sign and its footers are gone, and columns flanking the DINOSAUR courtyard have been removed.
- Internal walkways once leading to the DINOSAUR attraction are being ripped out as the area is reshaped.
- The ‘Dino‑Sue’ T. rex display remains standing but shows spray‑paint markings typically used ahead of demolition, and a debris truck was seen backing into the DINOSAUR courtyard.
- The area is being replaced by the Tropical Americas project, Pueblo Esperanza, which includes an Encanto attraction and a new Indiana Jones experience targeted for 2027 using elements of the existing ride system.
