AJ, Mike, and Chris are happy to have made it to 2021. Join us as we travel back in time to the age of the dinosaurs at the Animal Kingdom opening day attraction, Countdown to Extinction. While there's a good chance you've been on Dinosaur if you've visited Animal Kingdom in the last 20 years, Countdown to Extinction operated only from 1998 - 2000 and featured subtle differences from the attraction we all know today. Join us we have override the time coordinated for a breathtaking journey on Animal Kingdom's original thrill ride, explore its origins as a digger themed roller coaster, and learn about the circumstances that lead to a certain famous archeologist's influence on the attraction.
