New Aerial Photos Show Tropical Americas Construction Rising at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

The transformation of DinoLand U.S.A. into the upcoming Tropical Americas land at Walt Disney World is picking up serious momentum, and new aerial photos from bioreconstruct on X give us one of the clearest looks yet at several major construction projects underway inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

One of the biggest new developments is the carousel structure now taking shape in Tropical Americas. The circular attraction footprint is clearly visible from above, surrounded by a bright yellow moisture barrier staged ahead of another major concrete pour. Steel supports are already in place around the perimeter, giving fans a better sense of the attraction’s scale as work continues.

Nearby, a tall steel tower frame has also recently been raised, adding another vertical element to the rapidly changing skyline of the land. While Disney has not publicly detailed every structure yet, the new framework suggests vertical show elements and themed architecture are beginning to emerge from the dirt-heavy phase of construction.

The Indiana Jones attraction site is also becoming much easier to spot from the air. New aerial photos show large steel framing rising for the future Mayan pyramid show building, which will eventually anchor the reimagined attraction replacing DINOSAUR. The skeletal framework already hints at the massive scale Disney is planning for the project, with the structure towering over surrounding construction zones like an ancient temple awakening in the jungle.

Additional aerial images also provide a look at a large construction staging area that will become the extended queue for the upcoming Encanto attraction. The area is currently packed with steel beams, construction materials, equipment, and temporary workspaces as crews continue preparing infrastructure for the future family attraction inspired by the Madrigal family.

While much of the land still looks like a sprawling construction maze of dirt paths, rebar, and concrete pads, the latest progress marks an important shift as vertical construction begins to dominate the site. With steel now climbing skyward in multiple areas, Tropical Americas is finally starting to look less like a demolition zone and more like a brand-new themed land taking root inside Animal Kingdom.

Disney has previously confirmed Tropical Americas will include an Encanto-themed attraction, an Indiana Jones adventure replacing DINOSAUR, new dining locations, and a large central carousel attraction inspired by the region’s wildlife.
