Steel Rises on Encanto Ride Building at Animal Kingdom’s Tropical Americas
Tropical Americas construction reached a major milestone yesterday as steel went vertical in the Encanto ride building. Walt Disney Imagineering shared a short video from behind Animal Kingdom’s construction walls.
Last month, crews began pouring concrete for the ride’s massive show building. Bioreconstruct captured that milestone as it was happening.
The steel beams were installed along the back edge of the concrete slab in the photo above, which houses the ride’s maintenance area.
The Encanto attraction is themed around the family’s Casa Madrigal. Here’s how Disney Parks Blog describes the action:

Tropical Americas debuts at Animal Kingdom in 2027.
