TriceraTop Spin, Dinosaur-themed spinning ride in DinoLand U.S.A., United States.
TriceraTop Spin is a spinning ride in DinoLand U.S.A. where guests control dinosaur-shaped vehicles through hand levers and controls. The vehicles complete circular rotations while riders can simultaneously adjust the height and tilt of their vehicle throughout the brief journey.
TriceraTop Spin opened on November 28, 2001, designed by Walt Disney Imagineering as a dinosaur-themed clone of Dumbo the Flying Elephant in Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama, part of DinoLand U.S.A. The first phase of DinoLand U.S.A.'s closure became effective on January 13, 2025, when Dino-Rama shut, ending the ride along with Fossil Fun Games and Chester and Hester's Dinosaur Treasures. The land is to be replaced by a Tropical Americas area set in the fictional town of Pueblo Esperanza, expected by 2027.
