TriceraTop Spin has a closing date ahead of the area’s reimagining to bring the stories of Indiana Jones and Encanto to life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The Walt Disney World Resort website is confirming that TriceraTop Spin will be closing on January 13, 2025. For the time being, DINOSAUR, the Boneyard, Restaurantosaurus, Dino-Bite Snacks, and Trilo-Bites will remain open.
The area currently known as DinoLand U.S.A. will be reimagined into Tropical Americas. This is expected to be completed by 2027. This news was announced at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event last summer. When it is completed, it will include a new Indiana Jones attraction, an Encanto attraction, and also an Encanto-themed carousel. There will also be accompanying merchandise and dining locations.
Dinoland U.S.A. originally opened on April 12, 1998. It focused on dinosaurs and other prehistoric life along with related modern life. The backstory for the land was that it was a small highway town where an amateur fossil hunter found dinosaur bones in 1947. After reaching out to some friends who were scientists, the land was purchased and scientists, volunteers, and grad students have lived on the site and attempting to learn more about dinosaurs ever since.
Currently, the following attractions can be found in Dinoland U.S.A.:
- Dinosaur
- The Boneyard Playground
- Cretaceous Trail
- Dino-Sue
- Chester and Hester’s Dino-Rama
- TriceraTop Spin
- Fossil Fun Games
