Disney has officially submitted a new Notice of Commencement for the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent attraction, which will replace the existing DINOSAUR show inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The permit was filed with Orange County and lists an address corresponding to the current Dino Institute building. Buena Vista Construction Company, Disney’s internal construction arm, has been contracted to handle labor, materials, and electrical work for the project. This latest filing follows earlier permit extensions that covered broad construction and thematic development for the attraction’s footprint. Guests in the park are already seeing physical signs of transformation as elements of the massive Maya temple facade are being installed on the exterior of the former building. Once complete, the ride will feature an original storyline involving a newly uncovered Maya temple and a mythical serpent deity, along with towering Audio-Animatronic figures including one modeled after Harrison Ford’s likeness.
