The themed area perfectly recreates the desert, tropical rainforest, tundra, and the city and square of Zootopia, where small animals live.
Zootopia is a city where small and large animals live together. The name combines “Zoo,” which means zoo, and “Utopia,” which means paradise, to describe a dream city where carnivores and herbivores live together peacefully.

The revealed attractions include the Hot Pursuit ride. The ride involves the main characters, Nick and Judy, solving a case while riding in a police car-shaped vehicle. It’s a fast-moving ride that zips around various locations in Zootopia, such as the tundra, Sahara, and square and features drops and spins.
