Disney fans have something to roar about as a new Lion King attraction is set to debut at Disney’s resort in Paris. The log flume-style ride will take visitors on a thrilling journey through the African savanna alongside beloved characters like Mufasa, Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of Disney’s weaker-than-expected theme park results for the last quarter, but the entertainment giant is not slowing down. With plans to invest $60 billion over the next decade in expanding its theme park and cruise businesses, Disney is set to bring even more magic to fans around the world.
In addition to the Lion King attraction, Disney also revealed plans for a new evening show in Paris featuring “water drones” and a World of Frozen themed area set to open in 2026. The company is also making waves in Florida with the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom’s history, including new lands dedicated to classic Disney villains and Pixar’s Cars movies.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. From Monsters Inc rollercoasters to Encanto and Indiana Jones-themed rides, Disney is pulling out all the stops to create unforgettable experiences for guests of all ages. And with new superhero-themed rides, a Coco-inspired attraction, and a Spiderman adventure in Hong Kong, the magic of Disney is truly global.
Despite recent challenges and controversies, Disney remains a powerhouse in the entertainment industry, with its parks and experiences unit contributing a significant portion of its operating profit. With new films and attractions on the horizon, Disney is showing no signs of slowing down in its mission to create joy and magic for fans around the world.
