Canobie Coaster Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I really liked Zootopia and there is a lot they can do with this. I'm excited to see what it brings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Radiator Springs Racers re-themed to Zootopia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dombot Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I can get behind this. I don't think the movie is the best thing ever, but I can definitely see the appeal. This is gonna draw crowds like it's nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp94 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Now I'm curious what the main ride will be. For those who have seen the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about. Is it gonna be the escape through the toilet out of that facility, the runaway boxcar with the drugs, or kind of a summary of the movie's biggest adventures ala Forbidden Journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I hope they take us on a new adventure, vs rehashing the movie story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 There's the sky ride that Judy and Nick took, too. But I doubt that kind of attraction is being considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I've been wondering if we'd ever see the flight of passage ride system used anywhere else in the future, not sure if the height requirement of FOP fits for Zootopia but I'm sure there is some exciting potential for that system somewhere in the future.

KBrylczyk Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 ^ I feel like the Millennium Falcon ride is going to be that system but on a slightly smaller scale since they'll be 6-person (?) cockpits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 ^ This could be done like the front of the train that Judy rides to Zootopia, going through all the eco-systems there as well. Damn, that reminds me of an original idea they had for the Japan Pavilion at EPCOT. Riding a Bullet Train through the countryside, with multi-screen projections. (See below) Or it could be a trackless vehicle ride system too, since Disney's getting so good at using it lately, for large scale attractions. (See Galaxy's Edge & Beauty/Beast) Bullet Train "interior" with surrounding screen tech. Blue Sky plans for EPCOT Japan Pavilion with Bullet Train "Ride". c.1975 Disney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlahBlahson Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 How long until the rumors start in full force about this being dropped into Rafiki's Planet Watch at Animal Kingdom? But seriously this can be great fun and I'm glad to see the continuing investment in all Disney Parks Worldwide right now! Hopefully original blue-sky park ideas can return to fashion in 10-15 years for the parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 p.s. It appears more and more, that for us, it will be 2025 to see all 3 Disney Asia Park Resorts. It's six years away. But it'll be worth it when we finally go. With everything built and open. And during the Christmas Season, too. Jingle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBJ Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Nice to see Zootopia get it's own land, what a great movie. Very glad to see them to get a unique land. Really impressed by some of the design work in that park from the video and pictures I have seen. I could easily see the general layout of Cars Land being the general basis of Zootopia, good call. Generally speaking, would love to see a Slinky Dog Dash appear in the other parks that feature a TSL land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 From June 3-9, they're celebrating Donald Duck's 85th Birthday at Shanghai Disneyland! http://www.tdrexplorer.com has posted a little article about the one week celebration which includes special decorations, as well as souvenirs and food for the occasion. I love the Donald Butt Headband! This is called the Special Birthday Restaurant Package. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Ooooh Elissa, are you ready for this? ShanghaiDL just announced a big "Summer Splash" event through the summer, with decorations, souvenirs, food... ...and you-know-who on stuff, as well as everybody else from Toy Story 4! Including Forky! It all starts on Friday! Edited June 13, 2019 by Nrthwnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Disney posted some new artwork for the future Zootopia at ShDL. Having Zootopia Central Station now in the new artwork...possibly the new attraction's queue, starting in there? Meaning, probably not the Police car chase ride (like Indy Aventure in DL), somebody suggested before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 A couple of new shots have been posted of the area that the new Zootopia "Land" will occupy, thanks 'Cody' ! Here's one of them. The entry point definitely looks like it will be between Winnie The Pooh and Dwarfs Coaster. They also recently "broke ground" on the new expansion, but I don't know where pix (or a video) of the ceremony are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The Zootopia expansion is pretty interesting to me, I'm excited to see what it ends up being with the ride system and all but I'm also surprised they decided to move forward with that movie as the theme. I know the film was well received both commercially and critically but I don't really think of it as having a brand strong enough to anchor and entire theme park expansion. Maybe it's just me and my perception of the film but seems like there's just a lot of other more popular franchises they could have tapped into for the expansion, unless there's some kind of special connection to the film that the Chinese have I don't know about.

I wasn't aware of that but if that's true it makes more sense now. I mean after I thought about it for a minute everything Imagineering touches turns to gold anyways, I'm convinced they could build a land themed just about anything and it would outstanding haha.

SharkTums Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Zootopia was VERY popular in China and most of Asia. The amount of Judy and Nick cosplay we saw in Japan in October was crazy. I'm sure they did their research and know what their people want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
