More work is being done on the main entrance archway as the Tropical Americas construction continues at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The framework is completely covered and ready for thematic details to be added.

Tropical Americas Archway

When we stopped by the area on Thursday, September 10, we noticed construction workers on a platform lift doing some work on the main entrance archway of Tropical Americas.

Just last week, crews had begun covering the steel-framed structure with exterior sheathing, which has now covered a majority of the archway.

When we returned later on in the morning, construction workers were seen working at the top of the archway. Yellow cement mortar was also placed on the front and sides of the structure, seemingly to fill in any cracks/seams.

Here is what the archway is set to look like, according to the concept art:

Tropical Americas

Tropical Americas is scheduled to open in 2027, transforming the former DinoLand U.S.A. into Pueblo Esperanza, a fictional community inspired by the landscapes, architecture, and cultures of Central and South America.

The land will feature Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, which will take guests inside the magical Casita; Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent, replacing DINOSAUR with an original adventure through a Maya temple; and El Carrusel de los Animalitos, a carousel featuring hand-carved Disney animal figures. The area will also include a new playground, shops, and dining locations housed within the village.
