Retaining Wall Appears, Path Visible as Tropical Americas Construction Continues

Construction on Tropical Americas continues, with a walking path now visible and new retaining wall in place.

Walking Path Emerges, Retaining Wall In Place

Since our last update on Tropical Americas construction and DinoLand U.S.A. demolition, demo rubble and the crumpled Dino Institute Billboard have been cleared up and cement has been poured, with a defined path appearing close to the former home of Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures in the area where the “World’s Largest Pin Truck” had been parked. The construction walls remain in place, and these changes are visible above the wall from the higher vantage point.

People walk past green construction walls in the Tropical Americas area, with scaffolding and a Path Visible in the foreground.

As seen in the image above, a chainlink fence atop a barricade forming a retaining wall has been placed close to the Chester & Hester’s structure.

We also found construction crews actively assembling what look like tent supports.

DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is currently being demolished in phases to make way for the upcoming Tropical Americas land. Featuring attractions themed around “Encanto” and “Indiana Jones,” the Tropical Americas land is scheduled to open in 2027.
