The ride is the centerpiece of the Tropical Americas reimagining of DinoLand U.S.A. with a 2027 opening target.

Overview

  • Steel framing of the Encanto attraction’s show building is now visible from guest areas in DinoLand U.S.A.
  • Vertical construction began about two weeks ago and has advanced quickly, with the structure rising above construction walls.
  • The dark ride will take guests through Casa Madrigal before entering Antonio’s rainforest-filled room.
  • Encanto co-director Jared Bush said recording with the original film cast for attraction dialogue is almost finished.
  • The new land will also feature an Indiana Jones attraction repurposing the DINOSAUR space and a hand-carved character carousel, with DINOSAUR operating through February 2, 2026.
