How long since each Disney park got a new ride? 🎢 #disneyworld
🎢 How long has it been since a new ride opened in each of Disney's 12 parks? Some parks have gone a shockingly long time. With D23 just around the corner, I wanted to take a look at the last time each park opened a new ride. And I'm talking new rides (at least, new for that park), not rethemes or updates. Sorry, Tiana. Working backwards: 4 months ago, Disney Adventure World in Paris opened 2 new lands with 2 new rides, and even got a new park name. 2 years ago, Tokyo DisneySea opened Fantasy Springs with 4 new rides. Just under 3 years since Zootopia opened at Shanghai Disneyland and World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland. 3.33 years since Magic Kingdom's last new ride: TRON, April 2023. Its next rides will most likely be the Cars expansion. 3 and a half years since Disneyland got a new ride: Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. 4 years ago: EPCOT's Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (although Test Track got a nice overhaul last year) 5 years since California Adventure opened WEB SLINGERS and Avengers Campus. But 3 new rides are all under construction at DCA, and I'm expecting updates on all of them at D23. 6 years since Beauty and the Beast at Tokyo Disneyland. Next year they'll open a brand new Space Mountain. The third longest ride drought is surprisingly at Hollywood Studios, which has a lot of recent updates like Muppets, Millennium Falcon, and the Villains show. But its last totally new ride was over 6 years ago: Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway in March 2020. The second longest is at Animal Kingdom, which opened two Avatar rides over 9 years ago. That drought ends next year when Encanto opens. But we don't know when the ride drought ends for Disneyland Paris Park. Its last brand new ride was Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast, which opened a staggering 20 years ago on April 8, 2006. And there are no new rides currently announced for this park. I'll be at D23 this month, so follow along for all the news and what it means as it breaks. Will Paris finally get an announcement? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. 🤞 #DisneyParks #DisneyWorld #Disneyland #DisneylandParis #D23
