The Lion King - future immersive world

The Pride Lands begin to take shape

The future Lion King world will bring the animated film to the banks of Adventure Bay. Pride Rock is planned as the defining silhouette, surrounded by a savanna where planting, landforms and architecture will evoke Simba’s homeland. Announced in 2024 and under construction since autumn 2025, the expansion is the next chapter in the growth of Disney Adventure World.

Its central attraction will follow Simba’s journey through scenes and songs from the 1994 film. A waterborne adventure will lead beneath Pride Rock and bring several characters to life through animated figures, including Scar in a confrontation inspired by the story’s climax. The details released so far describe a family narrative shaped by landscape, music and water.

A project without a final name

Disneyland Paris currently describes the development as the first immersive world devoted to The Lion King, without announcing a final public name or opening date. Its identity must therefore remain tied to confirmed information: construction is under way, the land will rise near World of Frozen and the water attraction will form its centrepiece. Future restaurants, shops or entertainment have not yet been detailed and are not treated as certain experiences.
