Disney4me Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Disney had their Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and we got a model for a new ride coming to the Disney Parks! The Lion King topiary at EPCOT The very first Lion King attraction is coming to an international park soon and we’re so excited to get more details on it. Disney just dropped a sneak peek at the Lion King attraction coming to Disneyland Paris! ©Disney This attraction is in a new themed area of Disney Adventure World, previously known as Walt Disney Studios Park, where there will be “dining, shopping, and a chance to meet some favorite characters.” Disney says, “The new attraction will bring you alongside Simba’s journey from cub to king — it’s going to feel like you stepped right into the movie.” ©Disney The ride reminds us of Splash Mountain/Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and it looks like it will be a log flume ride. We’re expecting to get wet! It’s going to be great during the summer. This is the model they plan the attraction on, so it’s crazy to see how big it is! These help Imagineers plan out decorations, tracks, and the amount of physical space elements take up. ©Disney It looks just like Pride Rock! On top of the mountain, we can see either Mufasa or Simba. The concept art shows Rafiki, Timon, and Pumbaa, but we haven’t seen them on the models quite yet. These animatronics are going to be so neat to see, and we’re thrilled to see how they’re going to do the meet and greets. ©Disney We’re so excited about this attraction opening and about seeing the very first Lion King attraction. It’s set to open sometime in 2026, but we’re already looking forward to it! Disney has been saying that it will feel like stepping into the movie, and since this is such a classic movie, we know it’s going to be fun.
