Goodbye To DinoLand At Animal Kingdom - Disney World Is Closing Rides & Changing The Entire Area

[@RhettyforHistory]

I know they have to keep changing things to stay relevant but it's interesting to think about what Disney had or what they will get rid of in the future. Eventually it is nothing more than a memory so it's great it can be documented now.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Exactly . Everything changes, I learned that from Kathy Troccoli

[@RTBird2]

Yes, change is inevitable. Just imagine if Adam is still occasionally visiting WDW in 20 years at age 70 making vlogs. What changes will we see? Perhaps Space Mountain will be gone?

[@TedBorel]

@@TheDailyWoo”Everything changes. Nothing looks the same” 😊

[@BrewCityGillz]

Was not expecting to get “Everything Changes” as an ear worm from Adam today but here we are. 🎶

[@TedBorel]

@@BrewCityGillz I know! LOL

[@rich-s6c]

I remember not "getting" Dinoland when I went to Animal Kingdom back in 2010. But then I saw a video about the story behind it and all the little bits of lore hidden in it. I really want to go explore it before it's gone but I don't think I'll get to. Thanks for documenting it!

[@MichaelROLeary]

Dinosaur was actually the complete opposite of a straight-to-VHS movie, it was a MASSIVE investment for Disney and the most expensive computer animated film ever at the time.

[@Zombie_Trooper]

Bingo, I think people forget how big that movie was supposed to be.

[@dukeofhoagies]

What happened to it?

[@TapCat]

@@dukeofhoagies It flopped at the box office, at least compared to their expectations.

[@ThemeParksAndAttractions]

Great ride

[@djdeadbeat4380]

Even though I don’t have passes anymore, I’m sad to see Dinosaur go. It was a real gem of a ride. I know the Indiana Jones ride that uses the same vehicles is more popular, but honestly I’d take Dinosaur over it any day.

[@roogirl0922]

It really makes me sad this whole area is going away. I wish they could have updated dinosaur and moved all the new stuff to another area. I love this area so much. Im so glad we got to see it one last time in September

[@stevencarroll4250]

That Dino store with train and stuff is so cool. This was done in the late 1990s. So is the very retro canteen with burgers.

[@alexbradmckay]

Dinosaur was originally call "Countdown to Extinction." It was renamed Dinosaur to be more in line with that movie. There are a few CTX symbols in the Dinosaur ride that hint back to it's original name.

[@theathjr]

Adam the the theming you showed is absolutely spectacular. It’s safe to say that most modern day park goers simply would not appreciate the attention to detail. Today’s Disney has people staring at their phones to book lightning lanes and viewing ride wait times and park maps. Sad. RIP Disney. Walt has to be clawing at the dirt in disgust 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@donnytucker]

No bones about it, Dinoland USA will be missed.

[@Bur6212]

This was quite humurus

[@donnytucker]

@@Bur6212 haha nice one

[@gaetanochiurillo1380]

For all its grittiness and simplicity, Dinoland will always hold a special place in my heart because, my then young children, enjoyed it.

[@bb5242]

It was really awesome at night--definitely magic.

[@austinwasmund1258]

I will miss it with my entire heart. I worked at animal kingdom for about a year, our management was right behind dinosaur backstage, you would always hear the music and sometimes we would get to ride dinosaur during the dvc events 😢

[@ryany1753]

Dinoland is by far the best during Christmas. The music playlist during the holidays is the best

[@paulabarnes3351]

I have never known of Dinoland. What a colorful, kitchy, nostalgic amusement park. I had fun walking around with you, thanks for the trip. It would be great for someone to move the whole park to someplace in the middle of Rt 66!I was last at Disneyland in 1980 and Epcot the year they opened.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Adam 😎📸 thanks for sharing this what is changing and to see you getting coffee at McDonald's, they got to change it up lol you take care. 👍

[@jameskelly5685]

Disney World! "The Greddiest Place on Earth"

[@floridamaninmaine]

Nothing like watching an Adam Woos video on my birthday. Today's a good day.

[@steveb4018]

Since he makes daily videos every one can watch on their birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@floridamaninmaine]

@@steveb4018 heck yes!!!

[@devinstewart7892]

My youngest kids really enjoyed the huge play area in Dinoland. They are 2 and 1. There’s a bunch of slides and then across a walkway is a big dig area that’s nice and shaded.

[@tamaralangbehn7648]

Why do I love listening to Adam the Woo so much! Even when he is just talking about a cup of coffee, I am drawn in. I smile just listening to how he perceives his surroundings

[@jay6830Eb]

I agree...the more mundane, the better. His cadence and tone are charming & funny - unique only to him.

[@239perkins]

The 227 reference is appreciated...When I see that number, I have the same thought about that show and watching it with my baby sitter when I was a kid.😃

[@alexbradmckay]

"Wasn't it a meteor?" "They were all meat eaters." "Meteor, meteor." "Calm down."

[@chrismemphis8062]

Okay Paulie, get back to borko's channel

[@RBrooksC]

I know that Dinoland never really got any love. One thing that I will miss is the convertible car photo op. My son and I took a photo there every time we visited AK from when he was a little boy until this past summer as an 18 year old. I am sad to see that opportunity go by the wayside but I am glad we got one more photo this past year.

[@william2william]

DinoLand was Disney's recreation of the small roadside Dinosaur Parks that we had back in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The Dinosaur Park that I went to as a kid was "Lost World" in Scotts Valley California along highway 17 (torn down in 1977). I think the younger generations (adults) don't get DinoLand because they didn't have the childhood experience of the roadside Dinosaur Parks, but kids enjoy DinoLand just as I enjoyed Lost World back when I was a kid in the 1970s.

[@davie941]

loved todays Vlog Adam thank you 😊

[@SamEarleyFL]

Did you stop doing the Disney Movies/Treadmill?

[@IAmAlwaysJohn]

Now that you've brought it up there will be one tonight then no mention of it for a week. Don't take his word for anything though. Don't hold him accountable. He won't stand for it.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Took 3 days off after 8 in a row.just got done with todays. I watched fun and fancy free

[@SamEarleyFL]

@@TheDailyWoo That is one of my favorites!

[@johndreker1613]

Mr the Woo described that one area perfectly. It doesn't look like it belongs in Disney, but it's also pretty cool that they have it there. Replicating a county fair setting brings back some good childhood memories. One funnel cake please.

[@bob4364]

Hello Adam, great video and more from Animal Kingdom-Disney FL..Enjoy your Friday into the weekend..

[@Bekahrama]

I've never been to WDW, but whenever I see clips of the T-Rex (or similar scary dino), I think of Larry the Scary Rex in Clifford with Martin Short from 1994. Idk if that's the movie Gary was referencing, but it's always my first association.

[@Topher6188]

I’ll miss dinoland I won my daughter a stuffed toy on the basketball game on her first ever Disney world visit. I also understand things change so excited to see what it will become.

[@hallowthrifty2961]

There will be even fewer things to do at AK. They should have added attractions then shut down to retheme others. RIP Dinosaur my fav ride at AK

[@Sam-02024]

That is one fantastic dino gift shop!!

[@NessieMay]

Love Dinoland, I will miss it greatly. I’m pretty sure those were the Babirusas, the anteater has a long fuzzy tail. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChinaDollTravels]

9:32 I love doing single rider line for Everest too because it’s hardly a wait 🎢

[@TheDisneyPurist]

Wow, Adam’s mind is going to be blown when he gets to #39 on his Disney Animated Classics list and realises the ride Dinosaur is themed to Disney’s movie Dinosaur! It’s been forgotten way too easily…

[@davidleslie1963]

Hey Adam, the Trilobites is pronounced TRY LOW Bites...I was just in a quarry in Utah digging up Trilobites yesterday! So cool. Great video. I have not been there since it opened!

[@stevencarroll4250]

We were there two days ago to see it all before it is closed down. The Dina-soar ride was not bad, 10 minute standby. The restaurant is very cool there too. End of an area. Been there since 1998 opening. That McDonald’s there was also opened in 1998. Also took Everest single rider 5 minutes wait, always good.

[@robertmoore2049]

Looks like Disney World is Las Vegas always changing tearing down the old replace it with the new. Yep I guess that happens everywhere. Yes, it does, except maybe in Europe, where there are buildings hundreds of years old that still stand.

[@taylorw3013]

The Dinoland gift shop is definitely the coolest gift shop

[@MikesVegas]

So that McDonald’s is Corporate Operated. I met the District Manager of McDonald’s Orlando, and He told me to visit Him if I were ever to move to Orlando. I currently work for McDonald’s as a Guest Service Manager here in Las Vegas, but unfortunately, McDonald’s recently sold all of their restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip to a local Franchise. I hope they don’t do that there in Orlando. 😬

[@tracymacarthur5699]

I'll definitely miss Dinoland. I have so many memories there as my oldest daughter loved it

[@BostonRho]

Adam go back get ticket for the games . That be very cool to keep as a souvenir. I tried to keep one last trip and my grand daughters insisted we keep playing haha but we did leave with great prizes Minnie and dinosaur’s to keep .😊

[@BananaWaffle99]

Me and my girlfriend just rode Dino for probably the last time ever. Super sad it’s changing but I’m kinda excited to see what they do with it.

[@TheRickRatedShow]

The dinos sharing the burger were OBVIOUSLY re-creating the spaghetti scene from "Lady and the Tramp", duh. 😉

[@Christopher-v7u]

Speaking of astronaut ice cream I once had that when I was a kid and astronaut chicken strips.

[@pennygibson9543]

We bought the time rover on our July trip thinking they would be gone before we came back in December guess not! lol

[@rmk6693]

I’ve literally never seen those shops you showed. It makes me more sad that it will go. Everything will end up being very generic. These had pizzazz.

[@karenleemallonee684]

I had no idea they had a Dinoland...🤔

[@candacejackson5044]

I'm pretty sure that is the Babirusa you showed and not an anteater. The snout of anteater is longer and they have more hair. We went Saturday and rode Dinosaur 3 times in a row. I know the Seeker puppet is gone and has been for a while since I asked about them. Chester and Hester's gift shop is probably my favorite gift shop for the theming. I'm going to miss it. Joe Rhode has some art work in Restaurantasaurus. One is a big painting over an entrance-way into a seating area.

[@kevincruz6285]

I’m going to miss the Dino Land 😭🦖🦕

[@kenpalmer985]

Dang it . They need to quit removing stuff

[@MyBackyardScience]

While my kids had a fantastic time in the boneyard when they were small, Dinoland is probably the one land/attraction that we won't miss. We are looking forward to the Indiana Jones ride! 😀

[@flaminggmonkeyss]

what? dinosaur is so good! and such a classic, its one of the most re-ridable rides in my opinion. At least keep that ride within whatever they are doing there. They have so much space in florida I don't see why they even need to close rides.

[@mattyg4186]

I really hope when Dinoland is rethemed to Tropical Americas they add some animal enclosures too that feature animals from Central America, South America & The Caribbean

[@dizneytink]

i love dinoland and im sad its going. ive been going every monday before it closes☹️

[@KassidyGinn]

Fun fact those cones cost about $20-40 a piece too. I use cones everyday at work so that’s what I think about when I see all the cones lined up at parks. Every park has their own color cones too.

[@d.c.3220]

Alaska in November? 🥶 I guess you will avoid the summer cruise crowds....😆

[@surferbob9419]

I was hoping to go on Dinosaur one last time but I won’t be back until August.

[@danielb.2351]

In my opinion Dinosaur ride is way underrated. The theming and story are great. It’s all physical animatronic. No video screens. The ride vehicles can be rough at times but I love it.

[@alaskatikiroom6802]

I hope you have a wonderful trip to our beautiful State of Alaska!! It truly is the most beautiful place in the world! Definitely come to Palmer; it’s so Charming. Hopefully you will see Denali, which is the tallest mountain in the world from base to top. It is truly spectacular!!🌄🫎🏔️

[@AllFooNoLame]

We went to AK for my birthday on the 19th. It was hot and crowded but at least I got to ride Dinosaur and Triceratops Spin before they're gone.

[@sosaix]

Dinosaur is an exact clone, infrastructure wise, as Indiana Jones at Disneyland. Built from the same blueprints, Same layout, same ride vehicles, just different characters.

[@LosetheCabooseCanada2016]

Adam, I still have one of those floppy disk cameras.

[@Jarvel5]

Dinoland is one of those areas no one really appreciated it until they announced it was going away. Dinosaur was always underrated, and the theming was classic Disney imagineering.

[@mikerichardson6574]

Dinosaur days r over, was an 80s n 90s thing!!

[@ronirwin1855]

Take the tram. It's part of the experience.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I took it out

[@JAZZYCFC]

Apparently something happened at the lake in celebration & all the fish died the smell was awful. I just hope your buddy cool is ok.

[@flaminggmonkeyss]

I think instead of fully closing it down they could further theme it, the fair themes cool but its not as immersive for disney, they could go deeper into an actual dino themed land i think some of the attractions like tri spin could be removed, but just keep the dinosaur ride, and indy could fit right into this jungly land as well as encanto if they're doing that too.

[@keithmabe6015]

Thank you Adam...

[@MarsSoCal]

Though Dino Land looked cool I think it’s a bit outdated I think the change will be good for that park. Animal Kingdom is a great looking park I was amazed when I went this year for the first time. Loved the tree of life.

[@Pembz87]

I stayed at all star sports by McDonald’s Adam is at litterly this time last year and was saying to my wife I’d love to meet Adam the woo. We met Tim and Jen tracker on the 2st night of Mickeys Christmas party . Gutted we didn’t meet Adam . Man what a difference a year makes haha

[@ThemeParksAndAttractions]

Dinosaur will be a BIG MISS, that's for sure it's always been a great ride and loved by many - DinoLand for me is a must to go though agree with Disney on that one it doesn't belong in a big park like this

[@chaddebolt6369]

I did exactly what you suggested with the time rover vehicle: bought it and put it on my shelf of Disney World vehicles

[@seanfrancisellis]

The movie "Dinosaur" came out in 1998 and it's really good. It's fully CG animation. Check it out on your treadmill 👍

[@stardust9504]

The year *2000*

[@skilletman16]

Dino land might work as an addition to a zoo area. Similar to what St. Paul, MN did with their Como Zoo.

[@catherinetozzi8056]

I think a lot of items in and out of that shop will land up on your wall, in your garage, and maybe on your fridge…..HAVE CONTROL! 🙏🏽❤️🌴

[@FunAtDisney]

I think it puts an “!” on why they are changing Dinosaur to Indy when there is only a 10 minute wait at 11:30. Disneyland would have easily a 45 wait for Indy by that time.

[@spinnastella420]
