Photos: DinoLand U.S.A. Signage Removed at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Almost two weeks ago now, DinoLand U.S.A. permanently closed at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The area's main signage was covered up the day following the closure, and has since been removed completely.

What's Happening:

• Following the end of the operating day on February 1, DINOSAUR and Restaurantosaurus permanently closed as the final remaining vestiges of DinoLand U.S.A.
• When checking in on the area the following day, we noticed the land's main entrance sign was covered up overnight.

• In the time since, the archway and signage has been completely removed from the future home of Tropical Americas.

• As a reminder, here's what the sign looked like during its almost 30 years at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

• Heading towards the construction site, vertical construction continues to blaze ahead on the new Encanto attraction.

• So far, there appears to be few physical changes to the exterior of the former Chester & Hester's Dinosaur Treasures gift shop.

What’s to Come with Tropical Americas:

• Guests can anticipate exciting new Encanto and Indiana Jones attractions in the area set to replace DinoLand U.S.A.
• The Encanto attraction promises to bring The Casita to life, with furniture taking guests on a journey throughout the house before heading to Antonio’s rainforest-filled room.
• The latter attraction, taking over from DINOSAUR, will apparently be quite different from the Indy ride in Anaheim.
• A new carousel, showcasing hand-carved characters from Disney and Pixar films, will also debut in the land, complete with its own unique backstory.
• Construction on the project officially commenced in January, following the closure of Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama.
• Over at Disney's Hollywood Studios inside Walt Disney Presents, guests can see a scale model of the new land.
• The new Tropical Americas land is expected to open in 2027.
