It has been a whirlwind few months for Disneyland Paris with the official opening of the NEW Disney Adventure World. This newly renamed park (formerly known as Walt Disney Studios Park) recently underwent a massive expansion and retheming to include lands like the new World of Frozen and Adventure Way.

We were lucky enough to visit Disney Adventure World and had a great time exploring all the new rides, restaurants, shops, and more, but there are still some parts of this expansion that have not opened yet, including a new Up-themed ride. Disney has just announced the name and opening timeline for this ride — get ready for Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings coming in 2027!

Disneyland Paris has just announced that the new Up-themed ride, Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings, will officially open at Disney Adventure World in 2027! This family-friendly ride will be an all-new swinging attraction, and it will be the first ride themed after Up in any Disney park!

From the concept art, it looks like riders will be flying through the sky like Carl and Russell. Imagine the view of the park you’ll be able to get from the heights of this ride! Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings will have us truly feeling like “adventure is out there,” and we can’t wait to experience it. Disney shared some new images of Imagineers working on the ride as well, which you can see below. We think this one will be a hit!

When it opens, the ride will be located across from the new Tangled ride, Raiponce Tangled Spin. Both rides can be found in the Adventure Way section of this new park expansion, which will also be near a Lion King-themed ride in a NEW Lion King-themed land!

We’ve been geeking OUT over the new Lion King ride coming to Adventure World’s new Lion King-themed land. The log flume ride will tell Simba’s story in a new way and will feature some of the most iconic songs from the animated film The Lion King. This will also be the very first Lion King land and ride in any Disney theme park, which is SO exciting.

The new Lion King Land will have you exploring the Pride Lands with new areas of dining, shopping, and attractions. There will be characters, and the land will be set at Pride Rock. Of course, the ride will feature some of the most iconic songs from the animated film. The ride will also feature some of our favorite characters like Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, and more!

We’ll be on the lookout for additional updates about Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings and more from Disney Adventure World. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more!
