"Dino-Sue" Marked for Demolition as DAK DinoLand Demo Kicks Into High Gear

Walt Disney World appears to have marked Dino-Sue for demolition as DinoLand USA is transformed into a Tropical Americas land

Too bad they couldn't/wouldn't find a way to donate this to a local museum, or something.

Definitely unfortunate to not retain the cast somewhere. Also fortunate that it is only one of multiple Sue casts floating around museums and science centers, so at least she isn't totally gone from the public.

Would've been a crazy find at the Lakeland Antique Mall tho.

Discover the Newest Land at Disney’s Animal Kingdom: Updates from Tropical Americas

As the executive creative director for the Tropical Americas project, I’d like to share some of the ways we’ve been preparing to bring the new land to life.

Thanks for sharing but almost nothing new there. Hoping we'll get a couple new pieces of concept art from inside the attractions before opening next year.

I'm sure there'll be something at D23 this year. Usually I'm never sure about anything for D23, but it seems like a safe bet to at least get updates here.

With Disney announcing a phased (ugh) opening of Monstropolis starting in 2027, and no dates given for this land... perhaps it's not hitting 2027 at all anymore?

I think it’s still coming next year. I agree it’s weird they didn’t give more concrete windows, though.

Could be saving for Destination D23.

The only bummer I have is they had no update on year/date. I do feel it's on track for 2027, so it would've been nice if they reaffirmed that.
