We have been keeping a close watch on the new Zootopia land coming to Shanghai Disney soon.

Zootopia opens for all guests on December 20th at Shanghai Disney Resort. We’re so excited to be fully immersed in this new animal-themed area. Disney recently shared a sneak peek at what we can expect when we visit. Now we have an even closer look behind the scenes.
Disney announced that when we step foot into this new land, we will be fully immersed in it. The city, completely modeled after the community in the film, will come alive with amazing buildings and designs from the Imagineering and Art teams. You’ll be able to visit places like Zootopia Transit Authority, the plaza, and Lemming Brothers Bank.

We also know that Disney is bringing a trackless ride system to the new Zootopia: Hot Pursuit ride. You’ll find yourself sliding across the ice and flying onto the busy streets of Sahara Square. Then you’ll go “plummeting from the canopies in a gondola in the Rainforest District.” You’ll be racing through the city, taking turns, spins, slides, and drops while the story is brought to life.

Now, Disney has given us a new behind-the-scenes video that tells us that we can expect to see characters from the film in windows in the city. The goal is to “transport you into the world of Zootopia.”
Characters will be seen leaning out of their windows and interacting with each other. Jeff Conover, Creative Director, says you will “come across characters from the film living their daily life.” He continues by saying, “This is a huge production, and it runs all day long.”

It looks like a very immersive part of the land. We love how this will really transport you into the world of Zootopia.
