Disneylandmay be reaching new heights with future attractions!
A new zoning law currently proposed would allow for “three additional structural thematic elements (for a total of four) to have a height of up to 300 feet” within Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, per the resort plan.
Currently, the parks are permitted to build one structure at a height of up to 250 feet. However, if DisneylandForward is passed, both parks could house two structures up to 300 feet.
Anaheim spokesperson Mike Lyster tells PEOPLE that in addition to the four structures, there could be “two built along Disneyland Drive and one at the Toy Story Parking Area, should it be redeveloped.”
But Lyster confirms, “There are no proposals or specifics on any potential thematic elements at this time.”

Currently, there are no structures that are 300 feet at either park. Lyster confirms that the parks’ largest structures are Matterhorn in Disneyland and Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! in Disney California Adventure.
However, neither structure has reached the maximum height permitted in the park, which is 250 feet. Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! stands183 feet, while Matterhorn’s height is147 feet.

Along with the possible new structures, Disney would also provide a minimum of $1.9 billion investment intoDisneylandForward.
The project would update rides and attractions, lodging, entertainment and shopping over the next 10 years. Before the project was announced in January, Products Chairman Josh D’Amaroteased the possibilityof introducing attractions from franchises likeFrozen, Coco, Black Panther, Tangled, Peter Pan, Zootopia, Toy StoryandTronat Disneyland.
