Goodbye Chester and Hester’s DinoRama is a bittersweet farewell to a kitschy, nostalgic corner of Dinoland U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This quirky attraction was a love letter to roadside Americana, featuring vibrant carnival games, spinning rides, and over-the-top theming inspired by a fictional backstory of two resourceful locals, Chester and Hester, who turned their dino-themed gas station into a tourist trap. Known for its colorful dinosaur statues, whimsical details, and playful atmosphere, the area combined retro charm with tongue-in-cheek humor.
As guests say goodbye to this part of Dinoland, they remember it as a unique and offbeat destination that added a distinct flavor to the park, offering fun for families and fans of Disney’s storytelling. While it may be closing its doors, the memories of its brightly painted carnival rides, vintage signage, and larger-than-life dinosaurs will live on in the hearts of those who experienced its eccentric charm.
