New DINOSAUR On‑Ride Photo Debuts as Animal Kingdom Sets 2026 Closure

The refreshed frame signals an on‑ride farewell ahead of a 2027 Tropical Americas retheme expected to reuse the DINOSAUR ride system.

Overview

  • The updated photo frame shows a green 2025 design with a red Carnotaurus, an approaching asteroid, the DINOSAUR logo, and the tagline “It’s fast! It’s a blast! It’s in the past!”
  • Speech bubbles reading “You made it!” and “Nice work!” appear in the new overlay alongside ferns, footprints, and a spiral shell motif.
  • The final day to ride DINOSAUR is February 1, 2026, after which the attraction closes for conversion to an Indiana Jones experience within the new Tropical Americas area.
  • Coverage indicates the ride track and vehicles are expected to remain, with new sets and a storyline centered on exploring a preserved Maya temple with Indiana Jones.
  • Plans for the land include a new Encanto attraction, a Disney animals carousel, and a playground, with much of DinoLand U.S.A. already closed or cleared aside from DINOSAUR, Restaurantosaurus, and Trilo‑Bites.
