Back in 2024, Disney confirmed that a Villains Land would replace Rivers of America and go beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The land will be home to “two major attractions, dining, and shopping on an incredibly twisted grand scale.”

Since we missed the announcement, lets delve into more details about the Disney Villains-themed land. Well, the details that are currently available.

Lurking in the far corner of the below concept art is what appears to be a roller coaster track, possibly Maleficent-themed. Could this be a subtle hit at one of the land’s two attractions? Who knows!

Disney legend Andreas Deja shared insights on the land’s development weeks after it was announced. Walt Disney Imagineering then revealed that “conjured architecture” is going to be the design philosophy for Villains Land.
