In order to protect the area from fire, construction crews were drenching the land in Tropical Americas this morning, February 26.

Tropical Americas

As Tropical Americas is currently a construction site, a water supply must be available for fire protection. This morning we caught crews drenching the land beyond the walls that block off the area to guests.

We could see the water actively shooting vertical in the area near Trilo-Bites (or at least that’s what it looked like from our viewpoint). The large structure in the middle of the photo above is the future Encanto-themed attraction. Workers have recently placed an American flag at the top. This “topping off” tradition signifies that vertical construction has reached its highest point.

Elsewhere in the area, dirt piles continue to be moved around, and several excavators, additional heavy equipment, and workers can be seen.

Besides the Encanto attraction, the land will see DINOSAUR be reimagined into an Indiana Jones ride, as well as a new carousel.

Tropical Americas will open in 2027 and replaces DinoLand, U.S.A. Are you excited for this new area? Let us know on social media.
