3. The Lion King
Similar in concept to narrative-themed rides like Pinocchio’s Daring Journey, this Adventureland-based musical safari would see you travel from the Pride Lands all the way to the jungle and back. You’d follow Simba from cubhood to adulthood, and meet audio-animatronic characters like Timon, Pumbaa and Zazu along the way, before witnessing the battle for the throne on Pride Rock. There may be no plans for such a ride, but if you just can’t wait to see the King then fear not, for he’ll be returning to reclaim his rightful place in the Circle of Life in the 2019 live-action adaptation.
