Disney's Animal Kingdom

Dinoland U.S.A

By Theresa Johnston, About.com

Begins your adventure in an open-air, paleontological dig where scientists have reassembled gigantic dinosaur skeletons in The Boneyard, a playground for families. The park’s most thrilling adventure, DINOSAUR, where huge dinosaurs move and breathe with life-like realism.

For the thrill seeker, the fast paced DINOSAUR ride takes you back 65 million years through a primeval forest in a desperate race to save the "last dinosaur" from threatened extinction in the fiery crash of a giant asteroid.

Nearby Cretaceous Trail allows you to wander through cycads and palms to discover Chinese alligators, soft shell turtles and other survivors of the prehistoric world. "Tarzan Rocks!", a live musical stage show is presented in an outdoor amphitheater.

Dinosaur Jubilee celebrates the discovery of dinosaur artifacts, complete with genuine casts of one-of-a-kind dinosaur skeletons.
