The wonderfully furry world of Zootopia is coming to life like never before as Shanghai Disney Resort announced its plans to open the first Zootopia-themed amusement park in the world on December 20, 2023. Inspired by the beloved Disney film "Zootopia," the new theme park will mark the eighth themed attraction within the enchanting grounds of Shanghai Disneyland.

Drawing inspiration from the critically acclaimed "Zootopia," a production of Walt Disney Animation Studios, this new park is set to be a paradise for fans of the movie. Visitors will have the opportunity to step into the bustling and diverse city where Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde's adventures unfolded, all within the magical confines of Shanghai Disney Resort.

The announcement came on Tuesday, October 24, from Shanghai Disney Resort, adding an exciting chapter to the resort's story of continuous expansion and innovation. The park will feature a wide range of entertainment offerings, merchandise, delectable food and beverages, thrilling attractions, and much more, all designed to bring the beloved film and its lovable characters to life.

This preview period promises to be a thrilling sneak peek into what's in store for Zootopia fans from around the world.

Shanghai Disney Resort, which originally opened its doors with six themed parks on June 16, 2016, has rapidly expanded its offerings over the years. In 2018, the resort introduced Disney Pixar Toy Story Land as its seventh themed park, solidifying its status as the Disneyland with the fastest expansion worldwide.

With the opening of the Zootopia-themed park on the horizon, Disney enthusiasts can now look forward to immersing themselves in the magical world of Zootopia, experiencing the wonder, excitement, and adventure of the film firsthand.

The launch of this unique theme park is expected to further cement Shanghai Disney Resort as a must-visit destination for Disney fans worldwide and create unforgettable memories for all those who step into the enchanting world of Zootopia.
