Orlando International Airport Shares a Dino-Sized Farewell to DINOSAUR as the Ride Goes Extinct
Just when you thought the last roar had echoed through DinoLand U.S.A., Orlando International Airport decided to give DINOSAUR one final sprint through time. The official FlyMCO Instagram account shared a playful farewell video on February 1 as the beloved attraction wrapped up its final day at Walt Disney World.

In the clip, a toy Time Rover races through Orlando International Airport, mimicking Dr. Grant Seeker’s iconic narration while dodging airport sights instead of Carnotaurus claws. From spotting a definitely not our dino T Rex skull display to fueling up at Starbucks and getting sniff-attacked by an MCO Paw Pilot dog in Mickey ears, the video is a love letter to park fans who grew up bouncing through the dark. The Time Rover even hops aboard the Terminal Link before rolling onto a jet bridge just in time, proving that even extinction can be adorable when done Disney style.
The timing was no accident. DINOSAUR officially closed at the end of February 1 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, clearing the way for the Tropical Americas transformation of DinoLand U.S.A. The new land will include Pueblo Esperanza, an Encanto themed attraction, a carousel, and a brand new Indiana Jones adventure inspired by a Mayan temple and a mysterious creature rumored to lurk within.
