Hold onto your Dole Whips, Disney fans — Tokyo Disney Resort just teased a major Adventureland makeover, and if you love classic attractions like the Jungle Cruise or Tiki Room, you might want to sit down for this.
Disney just dropped some concept art that hints at a HUGE overhaul, and while the artwork is gorgeous, it’s what’s missing that’s making jaws drop all over the Disney community.
Tokyo Disney Planning a Wild New Adventureland?
According to the new early concept art (thanks, Walt Disney Imagineering!), Adventureland could look very different by 2035. Gone are some of the most beloved rides and attractions that have been part of Tokyo Disneyland’s history since the very beginning. We’re talking Jungle Cruise, Swiss Family Treehouse, Enchanted Tiki Room (currently featuring Stitch!), and maybe even the Western River Railroad station.
Yep. You read that right.
In their announcement, Tokyo Disney’s parent company, Oriental Land Company, stayed super vague — but the imagery says plenty.
Here’s What We’re Seeing…
Instead of the Adventureland you know, the artwork shows something totally fresh — and colorful! Fans are spotting what looks like:
-
A tropical setting that screams South or Central America vibes.
-
A Paradise Falls-type area straight out of Disney-Pixar’s Up (we see the balloons, Disney, we see them 👀).
-
What might be a rowboat ride, a jungle playground, a crazy-fast roller coaster, and an Omnidroid-themed spinner from The Incredibles.
-
A flying swings ride near a village area.
-
And a BIG mystery show building that could either be a brand-new experience or something designed to hide sightlines to Big Thunder Mountain over in Westernland.
There’s a LOT going on here, but one thing’s for sure — it’s a whole new world.
Wait…Where Are the Classics?
Here’s where things get a little emotional:
The Swiss Family Treehouse? Already closed for years — so we’re not totally shocked it’s missing.
The Jungle Cruise and Enchanted Tiki Room, though? GONE from the new layout. 😢
And while the Western River Railroad mostly lives over in Westernland, the current station for Adventureland isn’t shown anywhere, either. That’s raising a lot of eyebrows.
Tokyo Disney Has a Pattern…
If this feels familiar, it’s because Tokyo Disney is already making bold moves ahead of its 50th anniversary in 2033. Just recently, they closed the original Space Mountain to make way for a new version (opening 2027!). So if you thought they were going to be shy about changing things up, think again.
Also, Disney fans know concept art isn’t always the final word. (Hello, Fantasy Springs was not what it was first announced to be!) Still, when Disney shows this much detail, it usually means plans are pretty far along.
So What Happens Next?
Right now, everything’s still officially “under consideration” — meaning Disney is feeling out fan reactions, logistics, and final decisions. But it’s clear they’re thinking BIG.
Would it be heartbreaking to lose rides like Jungle Cruise? Absolutely. But if the new attractions bring that next level of Disney magic (and let’s be honest, Tokyo Disney usually knocks it out of the park), it could be a bittersweet goodbye.
Stay tuned, because if more details drop, you know we’ll be the first to spill the tea.
Tokyo Disneyland is dreaming BIG for the next decade, and while it might mean saying goodbye to some childhood favorites, it also means we’re in for an epic new adventure. Are you ready for it?
