Disney Just Yanked Titles From These Rides Forever—Here’s What You’ll Never Do Again

Every so often, Disney makes a move that shakes up the parks in a big way—and 2025 has turned out to be one of those years.

If you’re a Disney World regular, or even someone who holds onto nostalgic park memories like treasured souvenirs, this list of permanent closures and rebrands might hit home. We’re not just talking about rides going down for refurbishment—we’re talking about entire titles and experiences that have been wiped off the Disney map for good.

Let’s take a look at what’s been pulled from the parks—and what you’ll never get to do again.

The Boneyard: Your Last Dig Is This September

The Boneyard, that dino dig site playground tucked inside DinoLand U.S.A., is officially set to close on September 1, 2025. For decades, it’s been a spot where kids could roam free, slide through fossil tunnels, and pretend they were junior paleontologists. Now, it’s being bulldozed to make way for a brand-new themed play area as part of the upcoming Tropical Americas land.

Will the new play area be fun? Probably. But the name The Boneyard—along with the dino bones, ropes bridges, and sandy archaeology pits—is history. And that makes this one a little harder to brush off.

DINOSAUR: One Last Chance to Catch That Iguanodon

Over at the Dino Institute, the ride DINOSAUR (originally known as Countdown to Extinction) is preparing to make its final run. While it’ll remain open through the end of 2025, Disney has already confirmed that it will close to become an Indiana Jones-themed attraction. Right now, we don’t have an official closing date for DINOSAUR, except that it will be sometime in 2026.

So, if you love the chaotic race through the prehistoric jungle with Dr. Seeker and the Time Rover, consider this your early warning. The ride name DINOSAUR will soon be extinct, along with its dino-sized jump scares and gravel-voiced countdowns.

Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama and TriceraTop Spin: Already Gone

You won’t be playing Fossil Fun Games or spinning in pastel-colored dinos anymore. Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama, TriceraTop Spin, and the surrounding games and shops have already closed as part of the first wave of demolition for Tropical Americas. While these attractions had their critics, they added quirky charm to DinoLand.

The cheesy signage and carnival vibes might not be everyone’s thing—but it’s now a relic of the past, and Disney has no plans to resurrect those names or experiences.

Tom Sawyer Island & Liberty Belle Riverboat: The Quiet Disappearance

One of the most emotional closures happening in Magic Kingdom is the end of Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Belle Riverboat. Both will shut down permanently on July 7, 2025. The reason? They’re being cleared to make way for the upcoming Piston Peak National Park, a Cars-themed mini-land.

These attractions were never the flashiest—but they were some of the most classic. Wandering around the island or taking a relaxing riverboat ride offered a break from the overstimulation of the parks. And now, they’re gone. That slow cruise past Haunted Mansion? Gone. The paintbrush scavenger hunt on the island? Gone. The names themselves will fade into memory.

Muppet*Vision 3D: Curtain Closed—Literally

As of June 8, 2025, MuppetVision 3D* has officially closed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This 3D comedy show, hosted by Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the whole gang, ran for over three decades. But now, Muppet Courtyard is no more, and the theater is being reimagined as part of the new Monstropolis mini-land.

Fans gave it a heartfelt sendoff—with lines stretching through the park and even Heather Henson attending the final showing—but the reality is hard to ignore. The name MuppetVision 3D* has been scrubbed from Disney’s maps and digital platforms. It’s not just a closure. It’s a deletion.

Though the Muppets are expected to return with a new ride overlay for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in 2026, MuppetVision 3D* as we knew it is gone. No more Statler and Waldorf heckling from the balcony. No more flying penguin orchestra. That’s a huge piece of Disney-Muppet history lost to time.

What’s Replacing These Experiences?

• Tropical Americas is expected to feature an Encanto dark ride, an Indiana Jones thrill ride, and a new animal-themed carousel.

• Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom will reportedly bring two new Cars attractions, including a rally race and a family ride.

• Monstropolis at Hollywood Studios is set to include a Monsters, Inc. door coaster and new dining and show offerings.

While each of these lands brings something exciting to the table, they also mark a clear turning point for Disney. These aren’t just new rides—they’re complete thematic shifts that leave behind some pretty meaningful pieces of the past.

What You’ll Never Do Again

Here’s the full list of experiences—and titles—you’ll never get to enjoy again:

• Wander through The Boneyard at Animal Kingdom (closing September 1, 2025)

• Travel through time with Dr. Seeker on DINOSAUR(closing in 2026)

• Play games or ride TriceraTop Spin in Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama(closed January 2025)

• Explore Tom Sawyer Island or ride the Liberty Belle Riverboat(closing July 7, 2025)

• Laugh along with Kermit in MuppetVision 3D* (closed June 8, 2025)

These aren’t temporary closures or seasonal swaps. These are final bows for some of Disney’s most nostalgic, quirky, and long-running attractions. Whether or not you loved each of these experiences individually, they all played a part in shaping what made Disney World special.

So if you’re heading to the parks soon, say your goodbyes while you still can—because once these titles disappear, they aren’t coming back.
