But also: ➖ A gigantic final scene⚠️, ➖ A 16-meter final drop, ➖ A dual-platform loading station (more capacity). ➡️ 🌳 🇹🇿 Vegetation will rely on locally adapted plant species carefully shaped to recreate the African savanna atmosphere: ➖ Themed pathways & landscape designed to shield visual intrusions from Adventure Bay, ➖ A giant baobab tree dedicated to Rafiki, ➖ Buildings inspired by traditional Tanzanian architecture! ➡️ 🚧 Following the completion of major earthworks in late 2025, the project has now entered the vertical construction phase, marking the next stage in the development of this new immersive world: ➖ Follow step by step evolution, with aerials, analysis or live reports on #DLPWorks ➡️The first fully themed Lion King land ever created in a #Disney park by #WaltDisneyImagineering is led by Beth Clapperton (Awarded by prestigious TEA). ➖ Early models have already been reviewed by Disney Legends including Andreas Deja or Don Hahn.
