The crane likely signals the beginning of construction of the upcoming Encanto ride coming to this area. The first-ever Encanto attraction will take guests on a journey with the Madrigal family through Casita on magical furniture.

DinoLand U.S.A. is being demolished to create a new Tropical Americas land, which will have a new play area and the aforementioned Encanto ride. DINOSAUR will close permanently next year to become an Indiana Jones ride.
