Overview
- The ride closed as planned on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, and wooden walls and fences were installed around the attraction entrance.
- Onsite signage uses in‑world copy attributed to Sallah El‑Kahir and says tours will resume 'this fall of 1935,' keeping the park’s story-driven tone while the work proceeds.
- Disneyland’s official site currently tells guests to 'check back' and the park calendar through October 20 lists no operating hours for the attraction.
- The closure continues a phased restoration that returned the preshow in 2025, fixed a mid‑ride bridge effect in January 2026, and restored the boulder scene in earlier work.
- Separately reported plans for a new Indiana Jones attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom would replace DINOSAUR and reportedly include an animatronic Harrison Ford, but that project is distinct from the Disneyland refurb and remains reported rather than fully confirmed.
