DINOSAUR
Attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park
Fun Facts
The DINOSAUR attraction is inside The Dino Institute in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park where there is evidence from scientists and students who have tried to unravel the biggest mystery in the history of our planet: what happened to the dinosaurs?
DINOSAUR is a thrilling adventure at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park aboard a time rover that transports Guests to the age of dinosaurs on a daring quest to bring back a living piece of history.
A routine visit to The Dino Institute museum is interrupted by a mischievous scientist with a secret mission. The scientist recruits you to travel back to the Cretaceous era, 65 million years ago, to capture a mild-mannered Iguanodon and return to the present day with the 3.5-ton dinosaur in tow.
Once you climb aboard an experimental CTX Time Rover, you'll want to buckle up. Time travel can be one turbulent trip!
Your rover arrives in a dark prehistoric forest that's almost pitch black, but you can sense large creatures are moving all around you. Some are gentle giants; others are monstrous meat-eating predators in search of a tasty snack. Suddenly a enormous animal appears—and it is not one of the friendly variety.
The Iguanodon is nowhere to be found and you're lost in a thick jungle with hungry dinosaurs, but that's not the worst of it: the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs is about to strike. You've got to find your target and get out of the past before you become history.
The countdown begins: 60 seconds before the meteor pulverizes the Earth! You hear the terrifying roar of an unimaginably huge beast. Is it the friendly Iguanodon or the carnivorous Carnotaurus? Get ready for a bumpy ride filled with thrills and close calls!
The clock is ticking. Will you escape or become extinct?
