Concrete Walls Installed for Pride Lands at Disneyland Paris

Construction is moving fast on The Lion King land at Disneyland Paris. DLP Works shared a new update highlighting several concrete walls erected at the Pride Lands site and more.

‘The Lion King’ Land Construction

Announced in 2024, Pride Lands is the next addition to the recently-renamed Disney Adventure World. It will sit next to World of Frozen along Adventure Bay. The cranes at the construction site remain “highly active,” according to DLP Works.

Several concrete walls and pillars are now throughout the construction zone. Concrete footers for future foundations are also visible on the ground between the walls.

Much of the construction is getting taller than the construction walls, which are adorned with African patterns, animal prints, and concept art for the land.

In a vibrant jungle setting reminiscent of The Lion King attraction, a lion cub, meerkat, and warthog perch playfully on a fallen log amidst fluttering butterflies. Two onlookers admire the scene from the dense foliage's edge—an enchanting glimpse into Disneyland Paris's concept art.

The main attraction will be a log flume ride 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 animated movie.

Ride testing began last year with prototype vehicles and recently advanced to testing with water, as seen in the video below.

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

A new Up ride is also under construction along the lagoon.
