EVERYTHING Coming to Disney’s New Zootopia Land

November 01, 2023 ,

It’s ALMOST TIME to visit ZOOTOPIA!!

Zootopia!

A Zootopia-themed land has been in the works for a while over at Shanghai Disney Resort and we’ve even seen the state-of-the-art technology and animatronics coming to this spot, but now that we’ve got an official opening date, it’s time to go over what we’ll get to see and experience there!

Since Disney announced that the new Zootopia land at Shanghai Disney Resort will be opening up on December 20th, 2023, we couldn’t be more excited!!!

So, let’s just dive right in and go over the things you need to know!

Zootopia: Hot Pursuit Attraction

The brand NEW attraction in this land will be called Zootopia: Hot Pursuit, where you’ll become a “rookie police officer at the Zootopia Police Department (ZPD)!” The ride is set chronologically after the timeline of the Zootopia film. All of the residents of Zootopia are getting ready for a big concert that celebrates Zootopia Day featuring Gazelle (of course). Zootopia Day is meant to be “the day where predator and prey unite to celebrate the harmony of their beloved city.”

You’ll walk into the ZPD for orientation and be greeted by Officer Clawhauser.

Then, an alarm suddenly sounds! Time for you to head to an emergency briefing by Chief Bogo about a jailbreak.

The briefing will be interrupted by a video message from “Bellwether that she and her gang have escaped from jail and kidnapped Gazelle in order to destroy the concert of the year.”

You’ll be assigned to back up Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde (who is now officially a police officer!) in a police chase full of action.

It sounds like this will be quite an exciting adventure!

Meet and Interact with Characters

On top of the new ride, there will be “one-of-a-kind live entertainment experiences” meant to bring Zootopia’s residents to life.

You might just catch a glimpse of Fru Fru and her father Mr. Big, Koslov the polar bear, Flash the sloth, Yax the yak, Duke Weaselton the weasel, and the Hopps family. Disney says they will “appear to interact amongst themselves (and sometimes even with you!) throughout the day from the windows of Zootopia’s beautifully iconic buildings.”

And you’ll definitely want to stop by the Zootopia Recruitment Station because that’s where you’ll be able to take a selfie with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.

SNACKS!

Next up, let’s talk SNACKS. There will be lots of “Zootopified” eats and drinks available at Jumbeaux’s Cafe, which dedicated fans will recognize from the film.

…and more! Which of the snacks do you most want to try?

Shopping

After you’re done being a rookie cop and snacking, you can do some shopping at Fashions by Fru Fru, owned by the one and only Fru Fru!

The store is located right by the entrance of Mane Street. This is a street lined with “‘storefronts’ in a variety of sizes, big and small, leading to its civic plaza – Savannah Central – where Judy Hopps herself first stepped foot into the optimistic metropolis of Zootopia.”

Step inside to find “hundreds of different themed products including the Zootopia Cute collection as well as fun new headwear, apparel, accessories, and more.” There will also be 2 special areas in the store themed after Yax and Duke Weaselton.

Even More!

If you stand at the center of Savannah Central, you’ll find a “large office building boasting an oversized digital billboard and an assortment of billboards advertising Zootopia’s biggest brands. Fun, colorful, and animated advertisements are played on the digital billboard, showcasing the energy and vitality of this modern city. Behind this is the stunning skyline of Zootopia, which was originally inspired by a variety of city skylines in the animated film.”

Disney has indicated that at Zootopia Central Station, “a large metro train can be seen passing behind an upper-level decorative stained-glass window. The train comes and goes as it picks up and drops off animal commuters, just as it did in the film.” You’ll also want to look in the second-story windows of the Tiger Dance Club, where”Gazelle’s famed tiger dancers can be seen celebrating Zootopia Day alongside a wide variety of animals.”

Disney also notes that “The Zootopia Transit Authority has just completed the new state-of-the-art ‘hyper-tube’ used by Lemmings on their way to and from work at the Lemming Brothers Bank and other businesses. A series of drop-off points showcase how Zootopia’s smallest citizens deboard the system – just like in the film! On the other side of the street, a full-sized giraffe can be spotted running on a treadmill in Zootopia Fitness, a modern gym in Zootopia.”

Disney goes on to note, “The treadmill belt itself makes a gym for mice, who are running on the hamster wheel-like gears.”

And you’ll find details everywhere that incorporate “animal motifs such as patterns, zebra stripes, cheetah spots and sloth claw shapes.” Plus, there are “city fixtures and facilities that are scaled to accommodate animals large and small, such as the drinking fountains of different heights and benches of various sizes.”
