They make an entire continent for an animal park and they don't even have animals. I'm fully convinced the Disney execs only care about the brand synergy and didn't let the imagineers add animals to the land because there's no direct ROI.
Wait until they pave over Kilimanjaro safaris for a lion king ride. We know it’s coming at this point.

Yeah, I know. They aren't dinosaurs.
See, that's the frustrating thing about this project. A Tropical Americas/South America land at Animal Kingdom has the potential to be great if they focused on the animals of that region/continent. But nope, instead we get two attractions based on franchises starring humans.
Ee-yup.
I haven't been to Animal Kingdom in over a decade, but I remember there was a fairly large and empty shaded area near Dinosaur. It looked like an area where they planned to build more animal exhibits but ran out of time and/or money to complete.It's almost as if this land wasn't originally designed with the sizable trail space some of the other lands have.
I mean, it's disappointing, but they're reusing most of the infrastructure, and there wasn't much there for the animals. I'd prefer preserving the attraction count with the play area in this instance. The one habitat that was in Dinoland was a nothingburger.
How long until the fountain becomes a planter?
Capybara petting zoo.
Allegedly, possibly, maybe.
TBH, the way things seem to go, it may end up one before it is finished.....maybe they could put lights in the pavement around it..... oh wait, nevermind....
Oh lordt...I so want to make a nsfw reference here, but I'll restrain myself.
Based on the way the new planter looks at EPCOT, I have a pretty good suspicion what the new fountain at DAK will look like!
