Disney World Files Permit for Tropical Americas Expansion at Animal Kingdom
Disney has taken the first step in its ambitious Tropical Americas expansion at Animal Kingdom by filing a permit for Project Ro with the South Florida Water Management District. This project will overhaul the existing Dinoland U.S.A. themed land.
The permit includes a comprehensive site demolition plan that details the removal of Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama. This beloved area, featuring carnival-style games, the iconic TriceraTop Spin ride, and the Dinosaur Treasures gift shop, will make way for the initial phase of Tropical Americas. This exciting expansion will bring new themed lands inspired by the diverse cultures and breathtaking landscapes of Central and South America.
Project Ro marks a significant step towards the launch of Tropical Americas, which will feature an “Encanto”-themed attraction and a brand-new Indiana Jones adventure. The latter will take guests on an archaeological expedition through a Maya temple, guided by Indiana Jones himself. The permit also addresses environmental concerns and aligns with Disney’s conservation efforts.
TriceraTop Spin, Fossil Fun Games, and Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures will close on January 12, 2025. However, DINOSAUR, The Boneyard, Restaurantosaurus, Dino-Bite Snacks, and Trilo-Bites will remain open until later in 2025.
The entire Tropical Americas land slated to open in 2027. Are you looking forward to the new land opening?
