Overview
- Disney used its D23 fan event to disclose creative and technical details for a Lion King flume attraction at Disney Adventure World, and published concept art that illustrates key scenes and set pieces.
- The ride will retell Simba’s journey from cub to king as a musical experience and will include a staged recreation of Simba’s final confrontation with Scar.
- Disney says the attraction will use a new flume system with three slopes, Audio‑Animatronics figures, special effects, and a 52-foot main drop to deliver the thrill elements.
- The flume will sit within a dedicated immersive Lion King land built around a 120-foot-tall Pride Rock and will offer themed dining, shopping, and character meet-and-greets.
- Construction at Disney Adventure World is already under way and Disney has not announced a public opening date, making on-site work and future testing the next milestones to watch.
