Aerial Photos Show Carousel Foundation Taking Shape for Animal Kingdom’s Tropical Americas

The construction milestone signals steady progress toward the 11-acre land’s planned 2027 debut.

Overview

  • New images taken this week by Bioreconstruct reveal active concrete footers and foundation work at the carousel site.
  • A large circular form marking the ride’s base is now clearly visible alongside rectangular foundation sections for nearby structures.
  • Disney describes the attraction as a fresh take on a carousel with hand-carved wooden animals crafted by a fictional Pueblo Esperanza artisan.
  • Tropical Americas will feature two additional headliners: a new Indiana Jones adventure inside a Mayan temple and the first Encanto-themed attraction centered on Antonio Madrigal’s gift.
  • The land replaces DinoLand U.S.A. with the Pueblo Esperanza village setting, including a central fountain, an open-air market, and a large hacienda-style quick-service restaurant.
