In October 2022, La Cabane des Robinson returned after a lengthy refurbishment, but the reopening immediately sparked discussion. The 27-metre artificial tree, with around 300,000 handmade leaves, had been fitted with prominent black safety nets above the walkways. Disneyland Paris had initially expected the work to finish by the end of May, but it ultimately lasted six months. According to Looopings, the nets were intended to prevent falling parts, such as artificial leaves, from landing on guests. That made the news more than a routine reopening: the treehouse remained accessible, but its appearance had visibly changed. For visitors, La Cabane des Robinson is a quiet walkthrough past scenes inspired by Swiss Family Robinson and also a viewpoint over the park. That is exactly why exterior safety changes are so noticeable. The article shows how a 1992 classic has to keep balancing nostalgic theming, ageing scenic construction and modern safety expectations.
