Disney’s NEW Encanto Ride Is One Step Closer To Becoming Reality

[Charlie]

In case you missed it, DinoLand USA at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is under construction to become a newly reimagined Tropical Americas land! This change will bring three brand-new rides, along with a new quick-service restaurant that will be the largest on Disney property.

Disney has been hard at work building the new land, and if you look in the right places, you can see them building it yourself through the construction walls. We stopped by the construction site yesterday, and the Encanto ride just hit a massive milestone!

Disney just put this massive crane in the future Pueblo Esperanza. Construction is being done on the roofs of buildings Disney kept to retheme, like Chester & Hester’s Gift Shop and Restaurantosaurus, so it’s likely the roofs are being transformed right now!

Cranes!


Then, we saw construction workers on the roof of one of the buildings. They’ve taken off the shingles of most of the roof, and only a few are left, so it’s likely that this roof is being redone as well.

When we looked closer at the rides, some progress has been made on this new two-story building, which will become the animal-themed carousel. It looks like this central concrete beam is covered with scaffolding, and it will likely be the center pole of the carousel.

Construction is progressing!


But that’s not all – there’s something new behind it, too. The Encanto ride building has a new wire frame along the roof! Could we see some more new additions to it soon?

What’s happening at the Madrigal House?


The new wire frame is likely to be used to construct the roof and faux upper levels of the Madrigal House, or it could be used for fake greenery and rocks that Disney uses to hide the land’s surroundings.

Regardless of what the new wire frame will become, we’ll be sure to update you when Disney adds it. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney World news!
