The concept

Zootopia opened on 20 December 2023 as the park's eighth land. According to Shanghai Disney Resort, it was the first Zootopia-themed land ever in a Disney park. On the ride you sit in one of Judy and Nick's patrol cars. Bellwether and her gang are after pop star Gazelle, and it's up to you to find her.

The Experience

The chase goes across the ice of Tundratown, through the streets of Sahara Square and through the Rainforest District. According to the park, it's a fast ride with sudden turns, stops and brief moments of complete darkness. It's not a roller coaster, but it is an exciting dark ride for the whole family. An on-ride photo is taken during the ride, which you can buy via Disney PhotoPass.

Choose the single rider queue

Don't mind sitting apart? There's a separate single rider queue, which often gets you in faster.

Take your time in the queue

With Premier Access you don't see all the scenes in the queue. If you have time, take the regular queue for the whole story.

Combine with the land

Zootopia is a whole land. After your ride, look for the residents behind the windows in Disney Zootopia Comes Alive.
