There are huge changes are coming to Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom
At Destination D23 last year, it was announced that a Tropical Americas-themed land would take the place of DinoLand U.S.A. Well, at D23 this past August, we got more details about what is to come when this new area, now named Pueblo Esperanza. This new land is set to open by 2027 as construction will be done in different phases. This new land will feature three brand-new rides! But there is one ride that we have some bad news about.
Pueblo Esperanza will be home to an Encanto-themed attraction, a carousel that will feature some of our favorite Disney animals, and DINOSAUR will be rethemed to Indiana Jones.

While these new rides are super exciting, we have some news that some people may not be too thrilled about.
Indiana Jones
Over at Disneyland, Indiana Jones already has an attraction, Indiana Jones Adventure. This attraction uses the same vehicles and ride technology as DINOSAUR. While the storyline won’t be the same on this new version of the ride, the ride’s technology is not likely to change.

One of the biggest complaints about DINOSAUR is that the ride is very jerky and whips your head around. Many people choose not to ride the attraction due to its movement. Well, we have some bad news if you were hoping that the new Indiana Jones Ride would be smoother and less rough.
DINOSAUR
Since Disney already knows that Indiana Jones works well with this ride technology, it would not make sense for Disney to invest in a new track and new ride vehicles. Instead, the ride will just be re-themed.
The new Tropical Americas land coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom lets guests explore a preserved Maya temple – and the ensuing adventure – alongside Indiana Jones.
Depending on the new story, the way the vehicles stop may differ slightly, but the jerkiness that people dislike is unlikely to disappear. This is likely why Disney decided Indiana Jones would be a good fit for the DINOSAUR re-theme: because they would not have to build a new show building, track, or ride vehicles.

While we only have concept art and a model of the outside attraction, we would not be shocked if the only changes are the theme and not the actual ride technology itself.

We can’t wait to get more concept art and details about this new attraction. For the time being, if you want to brave DINOSAUR one last time, you should do so soon as construction permits have already been filed for DinoLand U.S.A.’s upcoming retheme.
