Dinosaur, Enhanced motion vehicle ride in DinoLand U.S.A., Florida

Dinosaur is an enhanced motion vehicle ride in DinoLand U.S.A., Florida, where vehicles move through a prehistoric environment. The vehicles tilt, climb, and turn along a computer-controlled track while passengers travel through darkened rooms with illuminated scenes.

The attraction opened with Disney's Animal Kingdom on April 22, 1998, as Countdown to Extinction. In 2000 it was renamed Dinosaur to promote Disney Animation's feature film of the same name, and the Iguanodon and Carnotaurus of the film appeared in the ride and its pre-show. In August 2024 Disney announced that DinoLand U.S.A. would become Tropical Americas in 2027, with an Indiana Jones attraction replacing it; Dinosaur closed on February 2, 2026.

The pre-show casts guests as recruits of the Dino Institute, where Dr. Helen Marsh (Phylicia Rashad) presents the time rover and controller Dr. Grant Seeker (Wallace Langham) secretly redirects the trip to the late Cretaceous. The mission is to rescue an Iguanodon tagged "Aladar" before the asteroid strikes, and Seeker's voice reminds riders not to tell anyone.

Each vehicle holds twelve passengers in three rows of four seats, and children must be at least 40 inches (102 cm) tall. The experience moves through darkened rooms with sudden movements and loud sounds, so it may not be suitable for very young children.

The hydraulic system within each vehicle operates across six axes of movement and creates sensations of acceleration, climbing, and rapid evasive maneuvers. This technology allows passengers to feel motion that goes beyond a simple track ride.
