Dinoland U.S.A. Demolition Accelerates at Animal Kingdom as ‘Dino‑Sue’ Marked for Removal

Site clearance advances the Tropical Americas land with DINOSAUR hardware repurposed for a 2027 Indiana Jones ride.

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.
