Overview

• The whitewater raft ride will go offline October 6 and is expected to return in December, with no official reopening date announced.
• The closure arrives earlier than the attraction’s typical winter maintenance period cited in recent years.
• DinoLand U.S.A. is shutting down in phases for a retheme to a Tropical Americas land called Pueblo Esperanza, with final closure timing differing across reports.
• Outlets report planned additions for the new land — an Encanto attraction, a new Indiana Jones ride, and a themed carousel — though details remain subject to confirmation.
• October visitors face additional downtime elsewhere, with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, and EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth also closed.
