I’m going to miss this ride so much. I remember riding this ride for the first time in early 2000-2002 (or whatever year this ride opened) when I visited Orlando for the very first time and I loved it ever since. I’m 32 now and I still never got tired of this ride.
Really gonna miss this. When I did my college internship at Disney I would head to Animal Kingdom first on my days off and straight to this ride. The crowds would always head to Everest so many times I'd get to ride it all by myself. It's super cool to be all alone riding this one!
This really is a nice ride with some of the best dino animatronics. And it used to have a big deafening therapod roar at the end. I hope they keep some of the dinos for something.
This ride was so much fun. I always had a fear this was going to go away and now it’s coming alive in 2 years. 😢 I loved this ride smelling the fog, the jerkiness in complete darkness, there won’t be another ride like this. I’m going to miss DINOSAUR dearly!!
Rode this for the first time this spring, for my birthday trip to Disney World. My friend made such a big deal out of it as “one of his absolute favorites”, and I totally agree now. So glad I got to ride this before it’s being shutdown next year.
This ride will always be called Countdown To Extinction in my personal Heaven. All it's effects and animatronics would always work. And CTX would always be rough.
This was one of the first ever rides I rode at WDW (PotC and Haunted Mansion were the first 2), one of the greatest rides I have ever been on. I’ll be there in January before I start school to ride it one last time!
Did anyone watch that Animal Kingdom Disney sing-along VHS tapes? Well the Dinosaur ride from that “Walk the Dinosaur” song scared me when I was younger. I didn’t go on Indiana Jones at Anaheim until age 11 because I mistook the ride for the Dinosaur ride. The irony of that is that both Indiana Jones and Dinosaur both have the same track layout. I’m now an adult and not scared of either rides anymore. However, I’m going to miss Dinoland.
Fun Fact: This ride has the exact ride layout as Indiana Jones in Disneyland with just Dinosaur theming. I heard the new ride will not he a copycat of the Disneyland one
Best ride in all of Disney. Nobody ever noticed that it was there because of its lack of emphasis in the surrounding area (which people often found cheap and disappointing) so they tended to skip it entirely.
I love this ride so much! Also, why do they have to close it in 2026 for Indiana Jones Ride!? they could build it somewhere else in Animal Kingdom like they did for Expedition Everest Ride.
Gonna miss that ride when Indiana Jones takes its place! And bet that people are excited for the animals of South America to move in at Disney's Animal Kingdom! But, what will happen to both Marley the American Crocodile, the Asian Brown Tortoises, & the Abdim's Storks to be honest?🦕🦖 Clattering Lanzhousaurus!
I rode this the year it was finished (back then it was called Countdown to Extinction).. ahem.. when I was 7 YEARS OLD, now I am 34. My family and I used to go every year to DW and this ride NEVER got old. It was one of the most unique rides I've ever been on. Yes any youngling would be scared like crazy, but they would still love it. I guess replacing it was their only option, because why expand it; I guess dinosaurs didn't live in tropical climates? RIP to a unique ride.
This is my favorite ride at Animal kingdom, and hearing that this ride closes in 2026 makes me sad! On the other hand, it will be interesting to see what the Indiana Jones replacement will be like. If it’s anything like the one in Disneyland, I’ll be satisfied.
Wowowowow they're closing this ride wtf. I had the one opportunity to ride it back in 2019 and the ride broke down for the whole day I was at Animal Kingdom. I can't believe I won't be able to experience this ride wtffff
I have a good idea what the "Indiana Jones" attraction may look like or is going to be like based on the "Disneyland" attraction. I may be right I may be wrong 😊.
Bob Iger doesn’t just take away good rides at Disneyland, he has done som disgusting vile stuff. He is on Harvey Weinstein’s level. He was on Epstein Island. He literally named his son after Ghislaine Maxwell’s father.
Such mixed feelings. On the one hand... I've ridden this, and I've ridden Tokyo's version of the Indiana Jones ride, and Indiana Jones is just way, way better--one of the most thrilling, atmospheric dark rides I've ever experienced. On the other hand... we don't need another Indiana Jones ride. We already have Indiana Jones rides, and Indiana Jones is kind of a played-out franchise. Dinosaur was *different*. I like different. I think parks should have unique rides. It'd have been so cool for them to do a reimagined Dinosaur instead, or design something entirely new.
I haven't been this ride before, but it's very sad when its closing. This sucks, I knew some people are being stupid for standing up, they have to stay seated.
Honestly after watching this, I'm glad Dinosaur is gonna get replaced by Indi, cause Indiana Jones is such an amazing ride and utilizes amazing story telling.
Geez why does animal kingdom need an Indiana jones ride? What does Indy have to do with animals? Can’t people just go to one of the Disney land/world parks for that?
What does Indiana Jones have to do with Animal Kingdom? Or the proposed Cars land with Frontierland? Sadly, the big shots at Disney these days could'nt care less about common sense and land cohesion anymore
thats one of the best rides at animal kingdom, why disney wants to get rid pf dinosaur? its been there forever. its bad enough they're ruining dinoland, keep the dinosaur ride.😢
When I first went to Florida I recognized the Indiana Jones architecture and got excited. Only to be extremely disappointed. No wonder the wait was 10 mins. This ride is garbage. Have faith in the imagineers. They'll fix this dumpster fire of a ride (and land)
I’m going to miss this ride so much. I remember riding this ride for the first time in early 2000-2002 (or whatever year this ride opened) when I visited Orlando for the very first time and I loved it ever since. I’m 32 now and I still never got tired of this ride.
I just rode this for the first time in November at 33 years old and I loved every second of it!
@@CameronShute I’m glad you loved it. Are you planning to go on the ride again?
@jacomananzan312 this ride opened in 1998.
@@jacomananzan626 I hope to, but it will probably be Indiana Jones by the time I make it back
It's very rare to see dark rides with fog machines that still work! 👌
Really gonna miss this. When I did my college internship at Disney I would head to Animal Kingdom first on my days off and straight to this ride. The crowds would always head to Everest so many times I'd get to ride it all by myself. It's super cool to be all alone riding this one!
"incoming", "left right left right", and "they're not gonna make it" live rent free in my head
We can't stop now keep going keep going!!!!!
Definitely not our dino! Go, go, go!
LETS GO GET THAT DINO
Just like "Zipa Dee Doo Dah" even though it's Tiana's ride now:)
You made it! I knew you would!
This really is a nice ride with some of the best dino animatronics. And it used to have a big deafening therapod roar at the end. I hope they keep some of the dinos for something.
It’d be cool if they moved them to the T-Rex Cafe in Disney Springs.
Or maybe they can add a Carnotarus fossil in the Indiana Jones ride as an easter egg.
Love the pacing on this ride; it's so good!
I’m going to miss the Dinosaur Ride. It was my favorite 😢😭🦖🦕
This ride was so much fun. I always had a fear this was going to go away and now it’s coming alive in 2 years. 😢 I loved this ride smelling the fog, the jerkiness in complete darkness, there won’t be another ride like this. I’m going to miss DINOSAUR dearly!!
Someone needs to take a stand against the closure of this ride! It’s all we have left of one of Disney’s most underrated films!
The Iguanodon helping you escape by holding up the tree at the end 👍🏾
I've ridden this ride dozens of times and never realized that's what it was doing! 😅
I hope they build the Tokyo DisneySea Indiana Jones version, that's one of the best Disney rides overall.
That would be amazing, they do need to start upgrading attractions to compete with epic
There doing a brand new third version themed to South America so it’ll probably be Aztec
@@odogg6815 Isn't Lost River Delta South American?
@@odogg6815 That's awesome. I'm glad they're putting a spin on it.

I’ll miss this attraction. But life goes on.
GONNA MISS THIS RIDE!

Rode this for the first time in February. Closed my eyes for the whole time but glad I got to 'see' it before it closes for good.
"See you around Dr Jones..."
Going to be missed 😢
but if they're building the Indiana Jones ride from Tokyo DisneySea it's a good swap, that one's AMAZING. One of my favourite Disney rides ever.
Did anyone watch that Animal Kingdom Disney sing-along VHS tapes? Well the Dinosaur ride from that “Walk the Dinosaur” song scared me when I was younger.

Interesting, I figured it would just be a reskin.
Best ride in all of Disney. Nobody ever noticed that it was there because of its lack of emphasis in the surrounding area (which people often found cheap and disappointing) so they tended to skip it entirely.
Right? Besides this ride, the dino area is pretty cheap and catered towards children.
I honestly would prefer having dinosaur instead of Indiana jones i just feel like dinosaur is more iconic and would fit the park better
I love this ride so much!
Also, why do they have to close it in 2026 for Indiana Jones Ride!? they could build it somewhere else in Animal Kingdom like they did for Expedition Everest Ride.
I am going to miss dinosaur I don't want them to close dinosaur love that ride please don't close this ride
I’m surprised that the wait for this ride isn’t longer it it a great ride and I would go on it again
One of my mom’s favorites right here! I’m so gonna miss it😢
Nice park
Gonna miss that ride when Indiana Jones takes its place! And bet that people are excited for the animals of South America to move in at Disney's Animal Kingdom! But, what will happen to both Marley the American Crocodile, the Asian Brown Tortoises, & the Abdim's Storks to be honest?🦕🦖 Clattering Lanzhousaurus!
Ohh, the Alioramus animatronic is back in its place? I guess they must’ve fixed it for temporary reasons.
I rode this when it was new and it was terrifying. The carnosaur chase us and was very loud
I’ll never forgive Disney once they get rid of this!
I Miss Dinosaur Ride In 2026 😥

Nice park ride
I’ll be there 1st week of February 2025!
I'm hoping it will be open late 2025 when I'm planning to visit for the first time!
SAD TO SEE DINOSAUR GO!
Gracias por compartir 😮 . Porque en estos momentos no puedo ir personalmente a todas estas atracciones 😢
R.I.P Dinosaur (1998-2026)
Agree that this ride needs a upgrade, look at those dinosaurs movement really not pleasant
I went on this ride one year ago. Yeah, it's VERY dark. Can't see a thing!
That is disappointing. I love this ride.
I love the whole land.
🙂👍👍👍
I want it to go 😮
good bye dinoland!😢 ill miss that area, especially dinosaur😢
Soon Announcing Closing Dinosaur Ride Be Miss
A cool ride. But, it could be used for the Indiana Jones ride for sure
I hope they can leave something behind like a dinosaur fossil as a tribute for what the ride use to be when it’s changed
I have a good idea what the "Indiana Jones" attraction may look like or is going to be like based on the "Disneyland" attraction. I may be right I may be wrong 😊.
amazing.
This is one of my all-time favorite rides! I really hope Disney keeps it or relocates it somewhere else😂
How in the world would they do that...
…I DESPISE, with all of my being, Bob Iger. ANOTHER attraction I’ll never be able to share with my sister.
Bob Iger doesn’t just take away good rides at Disneyland, he has done som disgusting vile stuff. He is on Harvey Weinstein’s level. He was on Epstein Island. He literally named his son after Ghislaine Maxwell’s father.
Alluramous is Back!?
pretty sure he's still gone. last rode on tuesday

Indana jones ride heck yeah coming in 2026
Geez why does animal kingdom need an Indiana jones ride? What does Indy have to do with animals? Can’t people just go to one of the Disney land/world parks for that?
I’m confused. If they change this into Indiana Jones, then what’s happening to the Indy Jones ride in Magic Kingdom?
@@DavidSusiloUnscriptedThere is no Indiana Jones ride in Magic Kingdom.
To answer your question, I want this ride to stay.
What was the dinosaur that they wanted to see?
What does Indiana Jones have to do with Animal Kingdom? Or the proposed Cars land with Frontierland? Sadly, the big shots at Disney these days could'nt care less about common sense and land cohesion anymore
I mean... The track layout kinda the same, well at least the first and last part.
Nice way to teach people the names of dinosaurs too bad it's closing.
Why didn't they put the T-Rex in the ride??? I'm so surprised.
They were originally going to, but then the Carnotaurus was discovered.
Nah it’s closing in 2025. This is by far the best decision animal kingdom has made can’t wait for Indiana jones
I never liked the scary dino at the last scene.
I wouldn't waste my time or money on it
Don't closing

F*** the Indiana Jones ride.
