Mark your calendars: January 12, 2025, will be the last day of operation for TriceraTop Spin, Fossil Fun Games, and Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures. While these attractions bid farewell, other DinoLand staples will remain open for now, including DINOSAUR, The Boneyard, Restaurantosaurus, Dino-Bite Snacks, and Trilo-Bites.
A Phased Farewell
Disney has assured fans that DinoLand will close in phases, allowing ample opportunity to experience the remaining attractions, especially the thrilling DINOSAUR, before it eventually closes permanently.
Construction Underway
The transformation of DinoLand U.S.A. is already in motion. Disney filed its first notice of commencement for construction back in May, followed by additional permits in July. This progress comes years after the closure and demolition of Primeval Whirl, one of DinoLand’s original attractions.
A New Era for Animal Kingdom
The reimagining of DinoLand U.S.A. marks a significant evolution for Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Pueblo Esperanza promises to immerse guests in the vibrant cultures and lush landscapes of the “Tropical Americas,” offering new experiences and adventures for all ages.
While the closure of some DinoLand favorites may be bittersweet, it paves the way for an exciting new chapter in the park’s history. Guests are encouraged to visit DinoLand U.S.A. soon to bid farewell to TriceraTop Spin and other closing attractions and create lasting memories before the land transforms into Pueblo Esperanza.
