I try not to care overmuch about what Disney does with its theme parks, but them disassembling DinoLand USA for an Indiana Jones ride makes me genuinely mad
Orlando theme parks are definitely a subject where people on the internet with no actual information like to shout things authoritatively. But allegedly, the cast of Sue at Disney World is getting trashed, rather than sold or repurposed? blogmickey.com/2026/02/dino...
"Dino-Sue" Marked for Demolition as DAK DinoLand Demo Kicks Into High Gear
Walt Disney World appears to have marked Dino-Sue for demolition as DinoLand USA is transformed into a Tropical Americas land

Archaeocursor asiaticus for #DrawDinosDaily here taking a sit-down from all the running. I added the little head portrait after I decided I wanted to get deeper into speculative head wattles for this guy. Ornamentation like that is common in modern cursorial birds.

When the original Jurassic Park came out, none of the main cast were celebrities like youβd think of today. Each had a rich filmography but they were in movies like Blue Velvet and The Fly. Contrast with the main cast of the World-era movies, all of which are fronted by a MCU alum

There isnβt a single reason why the *retch* Mutadons couldnβt have just been raptors. Or an azhdarchoid. Are they even making toys of that one?

The Xfinity Jurassic Park ads have cemented two things for me.
First, Universal does not care about dinosaurs at all.
Second, the Jurassic Park franchise has been hollowed out and turned into a vessel for mindless advertising and celebrity worship. The JP brand means Jeff Goldblum, not dinosaurs.

The Rite of Spring is such a spectacular sequence, easily the highpoint of Fantasia even if I put aside my biases. It's a comprehensive, spellbinding look into an imagining of the past that never was. Anyone interested in the history of palaeontology simply must watch it.
The Rite of Spring segment from Fantasia goes so hard for being 86 years old.
