Disney is set to launch its inaugural Zootopia-themed attraction in Shanghai
Exciting News: Zootopia-Themed Attraction Opens at Shanghai Disney Resort
December 19, 2023 – 1:24 AM PST
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure! Shanghai Disney Resort is set to unveil its highly anticipated Zootopia-themed attraction to the public on Wednesday. This exciting new addition aims to satisfy the pent-up desire for travel and immersive experiences in China, as the country emerges from the pandemic.
Since its release in Chinese cinemas in 2016, Zootopia has become one of the highest-grossing imported animated films in the country. Now, Disney is bringing the beloved world of Zootopia to life with its first-ever Zootopia-themed site at the Shanghai Disney Resort. This marks the eighth themed area at the resort, which originally opened in 2016 and expanded in 2018 with a Toy Story-themed attraction.
While the recovery of consumption in China has been slow following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, domestic travel and experiences have rebounded strongly. Shanghai Disney Resort has been a major beneficiary of this trend, attracting eager visitors looking to embrace life once again.
“I think what you saw over the last year as people emerge from the virus is them getting out and experiencing life again,” said Joe Schott, president and general manager at Shanghai Disney Resort.
In its fourth-quarter earnings report last month, Walt Disney highlighted the increased attendance at its Shanghai and Hong Kong parks as a driving factor behind the 31% growth in its Experiences division, which includes its theme parks.
Shanghai Disney Resort is a joint venture, with the Chinese state-owned Shendi Group holding a 57% stake.
