The Boneyard playground at Animal Kingdom refurbishement in February - March 2016

The Boneyard will be closed from Feb 22 through March 17th. Not huge news, but you never know who absolutely loves an attraction so I figured it was worth a post.

My daughter sure did about 10 years ago - great playground for little ones

Actually it used to be OK for the parents too because they had a soundtrack with cool songs like Godzilla and the B52's Lava - not sure if they still play it.

They do!

Our kids love it in there. The music is fun, but it can be so hot, not unlike the rest of AK. Happy to see it's getting some attention.

Love hearing REM's - End Of The World in a dinosaur themed area.

Yeah, the music picks are quite clever. It also is a fantastic playground--Disney's best according to my kids. Hurt my darn LCL going down a slide with Logan though. I'm too old for enclosed slides!

My kids had a ball in there, and as an adult who once dreamt of being a Paleontologist - I love the way it feels like a dig site.
Love the songs, and lots of anoles running around too.

Does this also include the area where kids can dig for fossils? Were there on the 28th and was going to take my daughter for the first time, but the playground was closed...so she ended up digging for fossils for a few minutes.

Yup, the whole area is closed. Somehow this thread escaped me and my kiddos we bummed to find it closed this past Sat.

Bummer. We're going back at the end of March, so it should be back open by then. I wonder what they're doing to the area.

I couldn't tell, but the last time we were there in the summer, the rubber floor was looking bare in spots and some of the rope ladders showed some signs of wear.

Oh, so this is like, just for kids... .. Noted.

Seriously, I love this section, and it's the only thing in Dinoland that does nearly put me in the hospital.

Will this be receiving any lighting enhancements like so many other areas of the park?

My daughters were always scared of the sound effect when you stepped on the pressure pad. The deep roar came from somewhere out of site, and I enjoyed seeing them jump!

For those looking for the music, t's also playing in at least one or two rooms of Restaurantosaurus. (Specifically the Rec Room with the jukebox and Gulfstream trailer)

The idea behind the music selection is that it's the tracks chosen by the paleontologist grad students working in the fossil dig site.
