DINOSAUR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is permanently closing in 2026, but fans can now get some commemorative merchandise for the thrill ride. Since its closure was announced, no DINOSAUR-branded merchandise has been available, only generic Disney dinosaur merch.
This new collection is available in the DINOSAUR gift shop, The Dino Institute Shop. The merchandise is mostly a light beige color with artwork of three dinosaurs: Velociraptor, Carnotaurus, and Iguanodon.

DINOSAUR Closing
Disney has not announced an exact closing timeframe for DINOSAUR, only that it will be open through the end of 2025. They have begun filing construction permits for the attraction, however. It will become an Indiana Jones ride, as part of the new Tropical Americas land replacing DinoLand U.S.A.
DINOSAUR shares a ride system with Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, but the Tropical Americas ride will have a new Indiana Jones story.
The Tropical Americas land, including the Indiana Jones ride and an “Encanto” ride, will open in 2027.
DINOSAUR opened as Countdown to Extinction with Disney’s Animal Kingdom in 1998. Though it was always intended to be connected to the Walt Disney Animation Studios film “Dinosaur,” the movie wasn’t released until 2000. At that time, the ride was renamed and updated slightly.
