Disney has shared a new look at the Lion King-themed attraction and land coming to Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris, and it looks spectacular. The reveal includes scale models of the attraction’s scenes, offering the clearest picture yet of what guests can expect when the area opens.
The attraction will take guests through a retelling of the original The Lion King film, featuring cutting-edge special effects and next-generation Audio-Animatronic figures of Simba, Pumbaa, and Timon. One scale model scene reveals the three characters staged in a lush rainforest setting, giving a sense of the immersive storytelling Disney Imagineering is building.
Walt Disney Imagineering Teases Jaw-Dropping Moments
A Walt Disney Imagineering representative teased the level of ambition behind the attraction, saying that guests will look at certain moments and ask how Disney pulled them off. That kind of confidence from Imagineering is always a good sign, and the scale models suggest the finished product could be one of the most impressive park attractions Disney has ever built.
Disneyland Paris’ Massive Transformation
The Lion King attraction is part of a sweeping 2 billion euro transformation of Disneyland Paris that has reshaped the resort over the past several years. The former Walt Disney Studios Park has been renamed Disney Adventure World and expanded significantly, with the new Adventure Bay lakefront district, the recently opened World of Frozen, and now The Lion King land giving the park a dramatically different identity than it had even five years ago. The Lion King area in particular represents a major investment in one of Disney’s most enduring animated properties, and the scale of the Imagineering ambition on display in these model reveals suggests it will be the centerpiece of the expansion.
