Top Tweets for #DINORAMA

Dinorama is closing today, Jan. 12, after pleasing and disappointing some guests since 2001. The land was always ridiculed as a cheap addition to Animal Kingdom, but during these last months fans have come to appreciate the backstory, the charm and the community around it! 🦖🦕 Lore wise, the area began as a gas station run by original characters Chester and Hester. They saw the Dino institute open next door and decided to open up a merch store called Dinosaur Treasures. They kept adding more and more kitschy additions and then Dinorama became what we know today. Even though Dinorama wasn’t an opening day land, Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures gift shop did open with the park in 1998. So this land can be traced back to the opening of the park. Three Cheers to Dinorama! A land I always blamed for being the downfall of Dinoland USA as a whole, but have come around to just enjoying and letting the fun take over. We’ll miss you Dinorama! 🥲🦕🦖
