How Imagineering Is Using Cutting-Edge Technology To Bring Zootopia To Life
On December 20, Shanghai Disneyland will debut its new Zootopia land.
Imagineers from around the world have been hard at work using state-of-the-art technology to let guests immerse themselves in the first Zootopia land ever!
In order to recreate the buildings, roads, and signs of Zooptopia, Imagineers used tools such as Building Information Modeling to digitally enter the world of Zootopia before completion. This allowed them to perfect every detail and ensure the land was as authentic as possible before construction.
Next, a talented group of art directors and more than 140 different artisans work together to make the world as immersive and fun as Zootopa itself!
Creating Zootopia’s Cast of Characters
In order to create the citizens of Zootopia, Walt Disney Imagineering collaborated closely with Walt Disney Animation Studios.
The team then employed the latest in robotics technology to make the characters feel like they walked straight off the screen.
According to Disney, the characters can express emotions and deliver a level of performance not previously seen at Shanghai Disney Resort.
From Officer Clawhauser to Chief Bogo, Judy Hopps, and Nick Wild, guests will soon be able to interact with their favorite characters.
Hot Pursuit
Last but not least, visitors to Zootopia will be able to see the new generation of Audio-Animatronic figures when Zootopia: Hot Pursuit opens.
The new attraction uses a combination of leading technologies to create a trackless ride system.
From sliding across the ice of Tundra Town to the busy streets of Sahara Square and the wild Rainforest District.
Zootopia: Hot Pursuit uses innovative ride and show technologies to surprise and delight guests in a new way. I can’t wait to see what the immersive Zootopia experience looks like in action.
Zootopia Will Welcome Guests Next Month
According to Disney, Imagineering and Walt Disney Animation Studios are proud of how they have raised the bar for Shanghai Disneyland’s Zootopia land.
Guests will get a chance to experience it themselves on December 20.
