Ha. You beat me to it.

Go upwards from dual load. Yellow lift takes you to the top floor. First drop goes down to the intermediate floor. Second drop goes down to the ground ish floor. Third lift goes up to the big drop.

Excuse the watermark. You’d be surprised where these things end up nowerdays.

For anyone a little concerned about the length I think it is worth noting a) the size of the scenes with some multi-floor rooms and also that Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey which has got a lot of praise doesn't look that long on paper.

I think the lift hills and drops are going to be used to great effect as show scenes.

Whilst not as long as the Splash Mountains this will be an addition of a well known ride system that Paris so far hasn’t got. Will it be enough for the park? No. Will it be popular? Yep.

I think the hills and drops in the Tokyo Frozen ride are pretty laughable, since you're supposed to be indoors for one of them, IIRC. At least the Lion King ride is supposed to be outdoors and you're in a river, I guess.

It has 19 scenes, although that includes the loading and unloading because the numbers start at scene 3. Still that's a lot of scenes. More than frozen journey and similar to Tiana.

I know this is getting into the technicalities but I expect the speed of the flume will also be slower than the [slower] Florida Splash Mountain?

That’s the big question with water rides. You can’t measure them accurately! Even the official Splash documentation demonstrates this. On paper averages with no stops can give you a very THC but the real world throws a curve ball or three.

Adding a theatre and that lion king show to this land wouldve made the whole package infinitely better i think. It’s missing that second thing to do.

I was wondering why I’m so excited for this ride when Lion King isnt even one of my favorite films. But this looks to become the biggest ride they’ve build since opening DLP! For once I’m truly hopeful DLP has much say in the contents of the ride bc they’re not so afraid to go a little bit darker and more dramatic then what WDI has been pushing out lately. Surely scar, the stampede, Mufasa’s death and the big fight at the end must be featured?
