DLP Works has uncovered more information about The Lion King land in development at Disneyland Paris. Construction began last year at Disney Adventure World and recently went vertical.

The Lion King Land

The land’s central feature will be a flume attraction like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Splash Mountain. Telling the story of Simba, it will incorporate bioluminescent technology, detailed environments, advanced Audio-Animatronics, and music from The Lion King. There will be a dual-platform loading station, which allows for more capacity, and a “gigantic” finale scene.

A permit previously revealed the ride’s peak elevation will be 37 meters (121.4 feet). This corresponds to Pride Rock atop the ride. There will be 19 scenes, 2 lifts, and 3 drops. The final drop will be 16 meters or 52.5 feet — the same as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure / Splash Mountain. Though the lifts and drops appear similar to those of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure / Splash Mountain, the ride layout is different.

This will be the largest show building ever built at Disneyland Paris.

The attraction exit will have a shop. The land will also include a food kiosk, restrooms, and a character meet and greet space.

A recent interview with Imagineers suggested The Lion King meet and greet characters could utilize similar robotics technology to the new walking, talking Olaf animatronic.

According to DLP Works, Rafiki’s giant baobab tree will also be brought to life.

The vegetation will consist of locally adapted plant species shaped to recreate the atmosphere of the African savanna. There will be themed pathways and landscapes shielding the rest of Adventure Bay. Buildings will be inspired by traditional Tanzanian architecture.

The land will go next to World of Frozen, which recently opened at Disney Adventure World.
