The project, in development since 2022, began construction last year shortly after its permit was approved & promises a “unique & a deeper level of immersion than ever before” !!
Let’s dive into the new details! (This is an exclusive information shared by DLP Works).
The entire World of Lion King land will span more than 30,000 m², with a Pride Rock rising 37m high, and will also include:
- A 14,000 m² flume type attraction (largest show building ever constructed at #DisneylandParis)
- A shop integrated at the attraction exit,
- A food kiosk, restrooms,
- A character meet’n’greet area…
The attraction will re-tell the story of Simba through its iconic musics across 19 scenes, featuring 2 lifts, 3 drops, combining bioluminescent technology, detailed environments or advanced Audio-Animatronics! But also:
A gigantic final scene
A 16-meter final drop,
A dual-platform loading station (more capacity).
Vegetation will rely on locally adapted plant species carefully shaped to recreate the African savanna atmosphere:
Themed pathways & landscape designed to shield visual intrusions from Adventure Bay,
A giant baobab tree dedicated to Rafiki,
Buildings inspired by traditional Tanzanian architecture!
The first fully themed Lion King land ever created in a #Disney park by #WaltDisneyImagineering is led by Beth Clapperton (Awarded by prestigious TEA) :
Early models have already been reviewed by Disney Legends including Andreas Deja or Don Hahn.
Following the completion of major earthworks in late 2025, the project has now entered the vertical construction phase, marking the next stage in the development of this new immersive world!
