If you have ever visited Walt Disney World‘s Animal kingdom, you may have stumbled across a land that resembles somewhat of a cheap roadside fair. You probably thought to yourself “wow this really isn’t the standard of immersive theming Disney is known for “ . That land is Dinoland USA aka Walt Disney Worlds most underrated themed area.


Backstory


To truly appreciate Dinoland you first must know the backstory to the area.

The year is 1947 and amateur palaeontologists have discovered & unearthed some dinosaur fossils in a small highway town. After gathering a bunch of other young palaeontologists they decided to purchase the site where they then founded the Dino-Institute , the old fishing lodge of the area was over-run by the college students to become Restaurantosaurus and the dig site (the boneyard) quickly became an attraction for tourists. Two locals to the area Chester & Hester , saw the opportunity to make a quick buck and converted their roadside gas station to a fossil souvenir store. They also converted their parking lot into a highway side fair filled with rides & sideshow games called Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama.


Attractions


The starring E-Ticket attraction of Dinoland USA is “ DINOSAUR “ . A high speed thrilling journey back in time to help Dr. Seeker resuce the Iguanodon he previously tagged from extinction. This ride features periods of darkness , sharp turns & sudden drops and jerks. Other rides featured in this land include Triceratops Spin ( Revolving Dinosaurs similar to the Dumbo flat ride ) , Primevil Whirl ( A spinning take on the classic wild mouse style roller coaster ) & The Boneyard , an interactive children’s play area & dig site .
