The man himself also connected Chester and Hester’s Dino-Rama to the themes of the park. Frankly, I’m less interested in hearing Rhode sell an idea than I am the people who are second in command (or in this case, now actually in charge). That’s where things get interesting because Joe is a unique talent at communicating.

New Dinosaur merch just dropped.
I need the pin. I've been looking for a Dinosaur pin on my visits in the last couple years to no success.
No animal exhibits, as far as anyone can tell. The one small crocodile enclosure, which barely amounted to anything anyway, has no equivalent in the new plans. Would be kind of cool if they moved Winged Encounters into the land, though.
No plans for any animals unfortunately, unless they add a small enclosure like the Crocodile that was in Dinoland. It's not known the exact reason, but it's probably a mixture of money and proximity of Tropical Americas to the parking lot, which was why Dinoland and Beastly Kingdom were designed to be at the front of the park, and the main animal exhibits (Kilimanjaro Safaris, Gorilla Falls & Maharajah Jungle Trek) are located towards the back of the park
That’s such a bummer. One of the characters in the movie’s gift is even the ability to speak to animals.
Well, yes. There will be animatronics of them on the ride, so they’ll be represented in that capacity. But it’s all unfortunately moving into a portion of the park that was never built to support extensive animal exhibits.
I had the same experience with my last trip over to TSI to say goodbye... it was in terrible shape (except for the Fort)... If it has been in that sort of shape for years, it is understandable why people don't love it the way I did. It was an amazing place to explore when I was a kid...But it appears they have been letting it go for quite a while...I guess knowing they were going to probably remove it in a few years...because the neglect was years old.
I'll just say: Be thankful this is the current state of Dinosaur. If you had gone a year ago, two years ago. . . woah boy it was dire. I'm glad you got to see it one more time though.
I agree that this new area, coupled with Pandora, is Disney’s push to make this an all day park. Additionally, both lands also provide for nice dry indoor attractions, along with the new Zootopia Show, for bad weather days.
the night show needs to be a h e l l u v a lot better than the boat float parade was...
It’s a really lovely park at night. Tree of life was by far the best use of projections I’ve seen. Looked like true magic!
In the winter/spring months, we enjoy hopping in the FOP line at park close so by the time we exit the ride the park is plenty dark and empty. Pandora is beautiful and it's also a nice time to go get some Tree of Life pics
