DINOLAND USA

Another land in Disney's Animal Kingdom is Dinoland USA. Our family loves this land. It has something for everyone.

DINOSAUR IN DINOLAND USA ANIMAL KINGDOM

There is a wide variety of things to do in this land. It is the first land on the right when you are on Discovery Island. It is also across the bridge from Asia. (Just to the right of it) It actually has a great deal to do despite some questionable reviews I have read.

There is a ride tucked away in the back right corner of Dinoland. It is called Dinosaur and it is one great ride. It is a dark ride and can absolutely be considered scary by small children. My mother, myself, and my daughter all enjoy it thoroughly. My four year old son hides the whole time and the rest of the boys seem to feel like once per trip is enough. If there is no line my daughter and I are happy to go on it at least 3 times in a row!

BEING SILL ON THE DINOSAUR RIDE

  On the way to the Dinosaur Ride there are a few little places to eat to the right but it's pretty standard nothing special American food. If your looking to be food adventurous this is not the land to do it in! Although we end up stopping here a lot because it is so convenient.

This land has a wonderfully huge playground called the Boneyard. It has many slides, stairs, tunnels, and even a dig site. Dino;and USA will be the places smaller children get their kicks in!

ENTRANCE TO THE BONEYARD

To the right of the Boneyard is the carnival looking area. There are two rides in here, a handful of  carnival games, and a character meet and greet. It is a very fun area. If you do all there is to do here it could take you an hour or more. We tend to switch up what we do here. Sometimes we do the carnival games and sometimes we don't because they cost extra money... just like a real carnival!

We do like Prime Evil Whirl. This ride has one of the taller height restrictions of the park at 48". You actually have to be taller to ride this than Mt Everest! Crazy right?! Anyway it is a twisty turny ride so if you don't like the tea cups than this probably isn't your cup of tea lol.

Another ride in this area is for everyone. It is like to old version of Dumbo the Flying Elephant only with baby triceratops! I actually used to like this one better than Dumbo because the line was always shorter but now that Dumbo has that great play area and has had major upgrades this is no longer the case.

Another great show is in this area called DinoLand USA, it's Finding Nemo. This show is in a large theater that has bleachers for seating. Their are actually backs on the rows of seats in this show! That is a major plus but, I wouldn't go as far as saying they are comfortable! It is a nice reprieve on hot days though.

So all in all Dinoland USA is a happening place. Don't skip it if you have children and don't skip it if your one of those people who loves rides. Dinosaur and Prime Evil Whirl should both be done at least once!
