Disney has updated the ride page for DINOSAUR at Animal Kingdom with the following message:
The last day to experience DINOSAUR is February 1. The attraction will close permanently on February 2 to make way for Tropical Americas.
In case you missed it, The Boneyard had its last day of operations yesterday. This follows the January closures of TriceraTop Spin and Dino-Rama. As of today, all that’s left of Dinoland USA is DINOSAUR and Restaurantosaurus.
As expected, Disney also updated the page for Restaurantosaurus with this message:
The last day to experience Restaurantosaurus is February 1, 2026. The dining location will close permanently on February 2, 2026, to make way for Tropical Americas.
So, February 1 will be the last day for Dinoland USA. Beginning February 2, 2026, both DINOSAUR and Restaurantosaurus will be closed, and Dinoland USA will close along with them. (Of course, there’s no closure message on the Trilo-Bites page, so who knows…).
Construction will then move full-steam ahead on Tropical Americas. That land will feature two brand new rides, plus the Indiana Jones remodel of DINOSAUR and a play area (of unknown scope) for kids.
As with all major changes, feel free to bookmark our relevant posts:
