Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s future Tropical Americas land has gained new Maya-inspired carvings on its entrance archway, according to WDWNT.
The themed stonework on the arch began in mid-October, with a section near the top initially left blank. That area now features carvings including a flower and animal-like figures inspired by ancient Maya architecture.
WDWNT noted the designs may reference attractions planned for the land: El Carrusel de los Animalitos, Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto and Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent. Disney has not confirmed that connection.
Elsewhere in the construction area, wood framing has been added to the steel structure of a future clocktower near the carousel. Parts of a nearby building have also been painted yellow, though it is not confirmed whether that is the final color.

Mountain peaks behind the future entrance to Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto are continuing to take shape and texture. WDWNT reported that the mountains are intended to conceal the ride’s show building from guest view, but they still need color.
