Disney’s baddies just got some very good news. The Mouse House’s most evil characters are getting an entire area dedicated to them at Walt Disney World with an all-new Villains Land at Orlando’s Magic Kingdom.
Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro revealed a longtime dream of Disney fans is coming true. At this year’s D23, D’Amarco announced a Villains Land expansion is finally coming to the Magic Kingdom. Disney says the area will provide “storytelling on a grand scale” with “a fearless new vision for what a Disney experience can be.”
Disney offered some general idea of what Villains Land will include. It will feature “two major new attractions, dining, shopping, and so much more fiendish fun for you to explore.” The House of Mouse also shared a tantalizing piece of concept art. The design embraces the dark heart of the area’s premise.
Guests will find Villains Land beyond Big Thunder Mountain. That part of the park is not currently developed. So not only are we getting a new area with new attractions, the Magic Kingdom is getting bigger, too.
We don’t know what the two “major new attractions” will be, but we know what we’d like to see. Imagineers pulled off something special with Tron Lightcyle Run. We’d love yet another high-speed, modern, unique coaster at the Magic Kingdom. However, we’d be even more excited for a hybrid family-coaster dark ride. Villains Land has to have a dark ride. Obviously. But theirs should also have an element of danger and excitement. These are villains after all! We shouldn’t feel safe. It wouldn’t be fun if we did.
(Hopefully the land’s dark ride has the epic scope of Pirates of the Caribbean, rather than have a more intimate design like Magic Kingdom’s The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh or The Under the Sea rides.)
Whatever awaits, though, we know it’ll be fun hanging out with characters so bad.
