A new Lion King water ride is coming to Disney Adventure World theme park at Disneyland Paris, and we have a look at brand new concept art and details just released. As you may remember, a Lion King water ride is one of a number of new attractions and offerings coming to the former Walt Disney Studios Park as part of a major refresh of the theme park. Here’s the latest!
New Details & Concept Art for Lion King Water Ride
The future of Disney Adventure World is already being shaped: during the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, which took place in August 2024, Disneyland Paris announced the construction of the first-ever immersive world entirely dedicated to one of the most beloved Disney Animation films around the world, and especially in Europe – The Lion King.
Construction is set to begin in Fall 2025. When the sun rises on this realm after the grand opening of World of Frozen, an all-new attraction blending a spectacular water experience with state-of-the-art Audio-Animatronics technology will plunge guests into the heart of the Pride Lands, where Simba will await them for an unforgettable adventure complete with iconic songs from the 1994 masterpiece.
After making their way to the caves beneath the 120-foot-high Pride Rock, guests will embark on a wondrous, and sensational adventure through iconic scenes and scenes from the beloved animated movie, navigating a path with three exciting slopes, including an impressive 16-meter-high descent. With a seamless blend of many Audio-Animatronics figures scattered across a highly detailed environment coming to life thanks to state-of-the-art special effects and an unforgettable soundtrack, this attraction will be one of the biggest at Disneyland Paris!
We are looking forward to launching the construction of this new immersive world inspired by the Lion King and its major attraction, which will mark another milestone for Disney Adventure World. The main attraction will showcase the key features of Disney experiences: loveable characters, an unforgettable soundtrack, immersive décor and effects, and exciting thrills thoughtfully delivered throughout the adventure. All of the Imagineers who work on this project have their hearts set on paying a vibrant homage to this timeless masterpiece by creating unforgettable memories for all our guests.
Here’s a look at the planned layout for Disney Adventure World following the park’s transformation. We have also included a couple of photos from the 2024 D23 Expo, where early concept art for the Lion King attraction was released.
