Interesting backstory, thank you. Do you know if the inclusion of dinosaurs was Imagineer driven or exec driven?Dinosaurs were always going to be part of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
The park’s initial build out was significantly scaled back. Beastlie Kingdom was cut. Tiger River Run was reduced and delayed. And about half of Dinoland USA was cut. Since it was further along it wasn’t hit in the same way as Disney’s California Adventure and Walt Disney Studios Park.
Chester and Hester’s Dino-Rama is not original to the park. It is an addition, one intended to be a cheap way of adding some capacity to the park.
