Disney has given some details on the new area themed around Tropical America in Disney's Animal Kingdom, replacing the current Dinoland USA. Work on this new 11-acre section of the park is set to begin later in 2024 and be completed in 2027. The space will be lush and sprawling, featuring a large fountain in the centre where the villagers like to gather and tell stories. Additionally, a woodcarver has created a giant working carousel featuring his favourite animals from Disney stories. It's a new take on a classic attraction that young families are going to love. That's not all that will be located here – the new land will include not one but two signature attractions!
"It's Tough To Be A Bug" Replacement
"It's Tough To Be A Bug" will be replaced at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The newest show coming to the Tree of Life Theater features Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and all their friends from Disney Animation's Zootopia. The show, “Zootopia: Better Zoogether!†will take guests on an adventure through different biomes seen in the film and opens in winter 2025.
Indiana Jones Attraction
A new Indy experience is set to arrive in Disney's Animal Kingdom and will be different from any other Indiana Jones experience around the world. This will replace Dinosaur. In this new venture, the man with the hat has recently discovered a perfectly preserved Maya temple, and that can only mean one thing: it's time to explore it. He's heard rumors about a mythical creature deep within the temple — and he's got to see it for himself.
Encanto
The first-ever “Encantoâ€-themed ride-through attraction is coming to Animal Kingdom. No other details were given except the concept art below.
