Dino-Sue Has Been Removed From Dinoland U.S.A.

Dino-Sue has left the platform outside Dinosaur. The world is a bit sadder for it.

Dinosaur closed down almost two weeks ago, and construction has quickly taken over the area as the attraction is rethemed to Indiana Jones. The sister attraction to Dinosaur is the Indiana Jones Adventure in Disneyland.

Sadly, with the demolition comes a price, and that is the loss of Dino-Sue.

Dino-Sue was a replica made of the original Sue, the T. rex discovered in 1990 by Sue Hendrickson. It was the most complete dinosaur ever discovered. Disney had a casting of the original made, while the real Sue is in the Chicago Field Museum.

Dino-Sue stood outside Dinosaur for years.

Now, just her platform remains.

The Aladar has also been removed.

It’s a sad day.

I doubt that Sue has been destroyed, given her historical significance.

But eventually Indiana Jones will bring in a temple to replace it. Maybe Sue could somehow still find a way to cameo.

Now only these dinosaurs remain.
