Another major milestone in the Tropical Americas expansion has been reached as TriceraTop Spin has now been completely demolished at Disney's Animal Kingdom. After what appeared to be a careful, phased disassembly over the past few weeks, the entire ride structure is now gone.
Dino-Rama is Now Cleared—Except for Rubble
With TriceraTop Spin's removal, the entire Dino-Rama area has been cleared, with only piles of rubble and debris remaining from the demolition process. The once carnival-style section of Dinoland U.S.A. has now been reduced to an open construction site as work progresses toward its transformation into Tropical Americas.
A Rapid Demolition Process
TriceraTop Spin's removal started with what appeared to be careful disassembly, leading to speculation that it might be repurposed. However, overnight, crews demolished the remaining structure.
What's Next for the Tropical Americas Expansion?
With Dino-Rama now almost fully cleared, the next steps are likely to include:
- Final debris removal and site leveling
- Groundwork and infrastructure installation
- Visible construction on new attractions later this year
The Tropical Americas expansion will feature a new Encanto-themed attraction, allowing guests to step inside the Madrigal family's casita, and a new Indiana Jones adventure replacing DINOSAUR after it closes in early 2026. The entire land is expected to open in phases, with full completion anticipated by 2027.
