Maya Temple Facade Takes Shape as Animal Kingdom’s Indiana Jones Overhaul Moves Onsite

The work signals the wider conversion of DinoLand U.S.A. into the Tropical Americas anchored by Indiana Jones plus an Encanto attraction.

Overview

  • New aerial photos show the DINOSAUR marquee removed and concrete forms in place for a Maya temple facade at the former Dino Institute entrance.
  • Construction on the Encanto experience has reached key milestones, with the show building topped off and roofing and scenic set work progressing.
  • Physical theming models and test structures near Imagineering’s project offices are being used to finalize colors, textures, and weathering before installation.
  • Restaurantosaurus is being reworked, with its tent cover removed as the building is prepared for a hacienda-style redesign, and nearby facilities are set to be reused.
  • A freshly poured concrete base for a carousel has been documented, indicating broader site work advancing across the future Tropical Americas land.
