Disney Demolishes The Boneyard as Tropical Americas Work Accelerates at Animal Kingdom

DINOSAUR remains available through February 1, 2026 ahead of DinoLand’s closure for a planned 2027 relaunch.

Overview

  • The Boneyard, which closed on September 1, has been largely torn down within two weeks, with most play structures removed.
  • The Oldengate Bridge and its replica Brachiosaurus skeleton have been dismantled, altering the approach to the former land entrance.
  • A construction crane is now visible behind Tropical Americas walls, which outlets suggest may indicate early activity for the Encanto attraction.
  • Guest access to DINOSAUR and Restaurantosaurus is rerouted along a side path as construction walls expand around the area.
  • The remaining DinoLand experiences are set to end after February 1, 2026, with the new Pueblo Esperanza expected in 2027 featuring Encanto attractions, an Indiana Jones retheme of DINOSAUR, and a new carousel.
