Feeling a bit sentimental today so here are some more photos I've taken at Dinoland USA in Disney's Animal Kingdom before it becomes extinct later tonight.

One of the most unique theme park lands out there that demonstrated tons of creativity to fit the themes of Animal Kingdom, how we can be changed by the nature that surrounds us. This land is filled with architecture that contradicts the design philosophy of the rest of the park, where structures exist to be subordinate to nature or live in harmony alongside it, yet the land based in Diggs County, USA, features a more manufactured landscape.

Paleontologists constructing a dig site, a storied group of scientists who host an institute of dinosaur research, and a roadside carnival built to capitalize off their efforts encapsulated many of the stories that represent the country it is based off of, as was the goal with the other nations featured in the theme park as well.

It was one of my favorites, and it was a pretty cool place to be.

When Dinosaur opened in 1998, there was a short lived effect just after passing under the pterodactyl where some compsognathus would jump over your vehicle! This was achieved by having the dinos pass over your head on a chain. In 2016, the broken effect was replaced by a screen.

This Pachyrhinosaurus in the Dinosaur queue is apparently the same sculpt as one at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta.
