Construction progress on Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent attraction is advancing significantly at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Two large prefabricated sections of the Mayan-inspired pyramid have been successfully installed at the Tropical Americas construction site. These colorful temple pieces were sculpted and painted backstage before being transported and lifted into place by crane, allowing detailed work to be completed away from active construction areas. The newly installed sections feature extensive Maya-inspired carvings, weathered stone textures, and vibrant blue, red, and earthy tones that bring the ancient temple theme to life. Below these completed sections, crews continue working on steel framing and rockwork to blend the structure into its surrounding environment. As more of the facade takes shape, the massive scale of this new attraction becomes increasingly apparent within the transforming DinoLand U.S.A. area.

- Two large prefabricated sections of the Mayan-inspired pyramid have been installed at the Tropical Americas construction site
- The temple pieces were sculpted and painted backstage over several months before being transported to the site
- Crews continue working on steel framing and rockwork below the completed sections to blend the temple into its surrounding environment
