DINOSAUR (MCO’s Version): Orlando International Airport Honors DINOSAUR’s Closing Weekend with New Video

As DINOSAUR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom prepares for extinction, Orlando International Airport (MCO) has shared an adorable tribute to the attraction. 

What’s Happening:

• Walt Disney World is gearing up for an amazing reimagining of Dinoland U.S.A. into a new Tropical Americas area, and a part of that transformation will see DINOSAUR and The Dino Institute shutter its doors for an Indiana Jones reimagining. 
• This weekend, fans are saying their final goodbyes to the nearly 28 year old attraction, and MCO shared a hilariously fun tribute to the attraction on X. 
• Recording their own airport version of the attraction’s script, a remote control CTX Rover can be seen racing through the airport as it races the clock to make it on time for a flight. 
• Popular phrases from the attraction, including the iconic “we’re not gonna make it, we’re not gonna make… you made it! I knew you would!” are referenced throughout the video. 

• While it’s sad to see such a unique experience close, DINOSAUR will always have a special place in the history of Walt Disney World. 
• For those looking to take a dinosaur-free trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth, Laughing Place recommends Mouse Fan Travel for all your Walt Disney World vacation needs.
