Aerial Photos Show DinoLand Demolition

Written by Joshua Posted March 7th, 2025

Over the last several years, @bioreconstruct has shared thousands of photos documenting Epic Universe’s creation. So it was a bit of a shock when he posted pics of theme park carnage this afternoon. The aerial photographer flew over Animal Kingdom and provided our clearest look at what’s happening behind DinoLand’s construction walls. Triceratop Spin, Fossil Fun Games, and Cementosaurus have all vanished from Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama.

But before we get to Bio’s photos, let’s take a look at DinoLand as it appeared early last month. This Apple Map shows Dino-Rama’s attractions and a large open space where Primeval Whirl once stood before its removal in early 2020.

With that perspective, here are Bio’s much clearer aerial shots. Click or tap each image to see the original.

Cementosaurus rubble as seen from above. Copyright Bioreconstruct. — Cementosaurus was removed after the park closed on Wednesday night. You can see the dinosaur’s green and yellow rubble on the ground and in the dumpster.

Bio also snapped photos of the construction offices recently added for the Tropical Americas project. As you can tell from the second photo, the offices are a considerable distance from the land’s construction site.

With the Dino-Rama demolition nearly complete, Tropical Americas construction should be starting soon. We’re excited to see Bio’s updates on the progress.
