Visitors will go "on a journey through the African savanna" alongside iconic characters from Mufasa and Simba to Timon and Pumbaa, theme park chief Josh D’Amaro said on Saturday.

Mock-ups of the experience, presented to Disney fans at the D23 convention on Saturday, showed a log flume plummeting down Pride Rock as Rafiki the monkey watches on.

The news comes just three days after Disney reported weaker-than-expected theme park results for the quarter that ended in June.

A Lion King experience has been rumoured for the Disneyland Paris resort in Marne-la-Vallée since 2022.
