WORK BEGINS on Dinoland Retheme, Big Thunder Overhaul Confirmed! - Disney News

1 year to add projectors and some goats seems like a lot of time

Brayden is MIA again........ I think Disney is becoming too boring for Brayden.... Him and the monster are not getting along anymore....

Scoop: Disney is currently filming live action original Moana for release in 2026.

Another great themed area that could have been improved but instead will be replaced with ip. Disney is totally lost.

Brayden, I would love to see Disney announce a brand new Avatar stage show coming to the animal kingdom.

Sounds like a bad time to travel from the west coast.

We will see how the transition from Dinoland U.S.A. -> Pueblo Esperanza takes shape... as much as I am disappointed that DINOSAUR and the land itself is being re-themed, I am also happy that the area is finally receiving some love.
We'll be looking at this closely over the next few years! Thanks, Brayden!

This will take 3 years to build all of them.

Brayden , my predictions for the new Encanto ride is it's probably going to be very similar to the brand new Peter Pan ride that's in Tokyo Fantasy Springs. But I guess we shale wait and see.

Who else thinks the thumbnail looks like an album cover?

I think your videos are great, but man, you need to work on your word pronunciation. It’s not “Trill-O-Bites”, it’s “Try-Lo-Bites”. I won’t fault you on the Latin words, I’ll give you a pass on those.

dont get why open a south american zone without south american animal exibiths. Its a giant zoo in steroids! Why not make people see the biodiversity of south america?

Universal built a whole theme park in less than 5 years......... Disney needs a new park....

Don’t bother only a few can afford it!

I must be the only one happy Indy is coming. So I did Indy first in 1997 and heard we were getting a similar ride but themed to dinosaurs. I went on it during cast previews and was highly disappointed. I haven’t cared for dinosaur since. Sorry everyone

Really cool intro but I miss the “all who come to this happy place welcome” 😭

BTM magic = the waterfall turned on. This will take a year.

Disney is grasping at straws trying to do something without really doing much. Universal is going to affect their bottom line in 2025/2026. I am tired of the poor management at Disney! Stop giving this company money!

rip to my favorite land in all off walt disney world

sad news for a die-hard dinosaur fan, but WOAH check you out with that intro -- who is your editor?? ( i adore them )

So sad to see dinosaur go, brayden have you seen the state of the ride vehicles over at tron? They are peeling and falling apart!

I went on big thunder mountain last night

Do young people even know who Indiana Jones is?

Great, so that means that my trip in January is going to be not as crowd-less. Instead, all of the people who would usually be in the attraction queue for big thunder Mountain are going to be spread out throughout the rest of the park not to mention how many things are going to be closed, maybe this January isn’t a good time to go

They need to stop investing in the money pit which is Disneyland in California. Walt Disney World is the Flagship of the company, all the companies efforts need to always go to Florida if you just go by numbers Walt Disney World gets about 50 million guests compares to Disneyland about 25 million. That does not even include hotel guest at Disney World hotels, water parks and Disney springs and other areas of the resort. Plus Orlando as a metro area has less pop then LA but has ten times more visitors based just on the other attractions in the area not just Disney alone.

Don't let Dinoland go to waste, man! Dino-Rama is the past, Pangaea is the future. Triceratops Spin is the past, The Excavator is the future. Encanto in EPCOT good, Encanto in Disney's Animal Kingdom bad. Indiana Jones in Adventureland good, Indiana Jones in Disney's Animal Kingdom bad. Dinos play an important part of the animal kingdom itself, you know. And the park is one of my favorite Disney parks and like it the way it is. (For the most part) And that goes the same for Magic Kingdom. I say refurbish Big Thunder Mountain with extra animals from Nature's Wonderland like the tree scratching bear and cougar. Not to mention Haunted Mansion Holiday.

Awesome zoom out in the beginning to you.

Taking Big Thunder down for over a year?!?! That tells me there’s some major track replacement going to happen to replace dangerous spots! 😮

Of course Thunder Mountian will take a year. They need time to install those new water fountains and cool new signs. 🤣

I'm happy I got to ride it a few last times a couple of days ago. It was so empty that they didnt even turn off the lights or close the doors in the preshow room ):

👍

LOL DIRT IS FINALLY MOVING!

GONNA MISS DINOLAND!

Watch Tiana's Virtual Queue disappear once Big Thunder Mountain goes down. I doubt it would happen, but it'd be nice if it did!

good for it

Another Banger

Indiana jones is so over. I do not get it >

That transition 🔥

Booo! 😡👎🏻

What does Encanto have to do with animals?

No dinosaurs at all? :(

Wasn’t the Emperor’s New Groove based in Peru? 🇵🇪 Isn’t that South America? Shouldn’t they include it in the Tropical Americas?

This is so crazy that this new land isn’t adding more capacity to AK. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but why didn’t they move the games, the bone yard & the Dino/Dumbo like ride to another land like Africa & Asia & re-theme it.

Dang that transition was smoooooth

Best thing they could do for Big Thunder is to enclose and air condition the queue. But also it'll be nice when Disney actually follows through with their announcements for once.

I think a full retrack is a likely explanation.

Unfortunately anything disney does only offers "a little bit of new magic" lately, the prices don't reflect any new bang for your buck things

I’m glad to see go Dinosaur land go. Looking forward to Indiana Jones ride. Hope it disability friendly and not to rough. Great video Brayden. 😊❤You always do an awesome job.
