Photos: Main Entrance to Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama Removed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
The area is being transformed into Pueblo Esperanza, which will feature an “Encanto” attraction and a new carousel with wood carved animals characters from Disney stories.
Disney is wasting no time removing the old remnants of Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama, as the main entrance signage to the land has now been removed.
What’s Happening:
- Construction walls surrounded Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama in DinoLand USA at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on the Morning of January 13th, as work gets underway to transform this area of the park into a new Tropical Americas land.
- Earlier this week, the former entrance to Dino-Rama across from the land’s main gift shop, Dino Treasures, was completely removed (as seen above).
- Below, a look at the marquee shortly after it was surrounded by construction walls, and below that, a view from just before the marquee was taken down.
- The large Cementosaurus, which served as the entrance to Dino-Rama from the other side approaching from Asia, is still in place at this time.
- The former Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama will transform into the South and Central American-themed Pueblo Esperanza.
- The area will include a brand-new Encanto attraction and a new carousel with wood carved animals characters from Disney stories.
- DINOSAUR – which will remain open throughout 2025 – will be transformed into an Indiana Jones themed attraction, where guests will venture into a perfectly preserved Maya temple that Indy recently discovered.
- Nearby, a new musical group, The Eco-Rhythmics are using recycled products to create percussive magic for guests.
