I have been asked so I am sure Disney Hollywood Studio Cast Members get asked all the time why there is a dinosaur along the shore of Echo Lake. Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction stand was part of the park’s opening day. The link leads you to a Jim Korkis article about the the history of Gertie and the reason for including it in the park.
Recently, the stand is no longer in operation and may disappear as construction continues for the new Star Wars and Pixar additions.
