The new “Lion King”-inspired Pride Lands have been added to the Disney Adventure World model on display at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.
Disney Adventure World Model with ‘The Lion King’
The model debuted on the first day of the event with some mysteriously empty plots of land. There are still some blank spots, but the Pride Lands fill in a big gap near World of Frozen.
“The Lion King” land was announced during the Disney Experiences Showcase on Saturday night and added to the model on Sunday morning. It will include a log flume ride with Pride Rock atop a hill. The land will also have shopping, dining, and character meet and greets.
This model of the whole park shows the large show building behind Pride Rock, masked by a hillside façade. A separate, more detailed model of the Pride Lands was also unveiled.
Pride Lands is located at the edge of Adventure Bay, the focal point of the park’s major expansion. The park is currently named Walt Disney Studios Park but will become Disney Adventure World when Adventure Bay and World of Frozen open.
Disney did not give a timeframe for the opening of Pride Lands, but it will likely be after World of Frozen.
Adventure Bay will also include The Regal View Restaurant and Lounge, Raiponce Tangled Spin, gardens, and a new nighttime spectacular.
