Disney reveals name for new 'Up' theme park ride
Disneyland Paris celebrated its 34th birthday today by announcing two new experiences at its renamed Disney Adventure World park.
We knew that Disney would be installing an "Up"-themed waveswinger ride on Adventure Way, across from the new Rapunzel spinner ride. Now we know that ride's name. Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings will open next year at Disney Adventure World.
I don't know that a "wilderness" title fits with the Belle Époque look of Adventure Way, but hey... the ride should offer some nice views of the park's recent expansion.

Also today, Disneyland Paris confirmed that its new Disney Princess Cavalcade will run on Adventure Way from July 24. The production is a mini-parade with units celebrating Moana and Raya.

The procession will include show stops where Moana will teach moves inspired by traditional Pacific Islands dance, while Raya will demonstrate moves inspired by martial arts.
The park also said today that the "Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland" show will return to Disney Adventure World in spring 2027.

"Wilderness Explorers: Sky Swings"
It's a swings flat ride, Disney ...
Up is One of Disney's best movies and they reward it with a Swing..
HAHAHAHAHA
C L O W N S..
Y'all hating. Waveswingers are a guilty pleasure for me and it's kind of crazy to think that none of the major parks in Central Florida have one (no Fun Spot does not count).
I have no problem with flat rides. They increase park capacity and are fun to ride occasionally. But themeing it to UP is just dumb. UP deserves an indoor dark ride with a Peter Pan style ride system.
Up is a good choice for that ride.... But why that name? Just call it Up.
Looks like immersive experiences are not the only thing Disney is learning from Universal...
It's not even the fact that it's a flat ride, or Up themed. It's that it's being advertised as if it's a D or E ticket when really it should have been put in Arendelle and themed up there to flesh out that area. Call it "Oaken's Swing-a-round" or something.
