Found this on tiktok, it feels so strange not seeing it in the skyline.

Just look up. Is a dinosaur there? No? It's gone.
Maybe his head

I wouldn't bet on it (literally, in this case). It's pretty far into development, and they continually reiterate that it's happening.

I'm going delayed - not cancelled. I just REALLY hope they don't go the EPCOT spine route where they start demo and then pause it. That would be a travesty. Having partial Tropical Americas (Encanto plus Carousel) and half-Dino would be fine for awhile. (And, frankly, would probably allow an easier fan transition.)
I'm a bit torn. I personally could care less about Encanto, but I know it's very popular and could be woven into DAK with the right story. Indy I don't care as much about the IP, but it sounds like it could be a really great upgrade. I just hate losing all references to dinosaurs in the park. I kinda wish they would leave the Boneyard and Restaurant-asaurus (rethemed to now be located in South America) as a little tribute. But, I know that ship has sailed.
Guys it was literally just mentioned today that DINOSAUR is going extinct. I get wishful thinking but DINOSAUR is toast
What if it comes back? Then what?

I'd be SHOCKED if this didn't actually go through. Obviously things can change, but this one is the one that is full on started, in a park that can not afford to just demo some things then say "Eh, forget it." I absolutely hate Encanto here, but we know Disney is big on getting it in the parks, and I can't imagine a partial conversion to Tropical Americas. I also have to imagine Disney knows the reputation at this point for cancelling things (whether deserved or not), so I can't imagine the first big conversion that they have discussed for multiple years they just up and cancel. I thought Monsters might be the most likely to get cancelled, but with them shutting down Muppets, I'd say it's at least a bit less likely.

We literally have 6 movies showing us why this is a bad idea to bring them back!

I’d be happy to help him.
Good news, everyone. I have it on good authority that Cementasaurus was brought to a concrete farm upstate where it can play with all the other cement dinosaurs!

I know it sounds silly but I hope Restaurantosaurus is still open in November. I’d like to eat in there one last time.

It will be. Which is good because I haven’t taken my farewell tour of it yet.I know it sounds silly but I hope Restaurantosaurus is still open in November. I’d like to eat in there one last time.

We've known this for several weeks. They're retheming DINOSAUR to Indy. Remember, it's the same track as DLP. Different Indy theme but they're already experienced with this ride.
Can someone explain how this is considered “an expansion” when there is no net-new attraction count? Are we bending the definition to suit the “$60 billion” statements?
