Excitement Grows for the New 'Coco' Ride at Disney California Adventure
Exciting news for fans of Pixar’s beloved film “Coco”—a brand new ride themed around the animated classic is set to debut at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim. The upcoming attraction will be the first of its kind, utilizing the latest Audio-Animatronics technology to bring the film's memorable characters to life in stunning fashion. This attraction aims to draw inspiration from iconic rides such as the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean, which are known for their intricate designs and immersive experiences.
According to Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences, the “Coco” ride promises to showcase the skeletal cast of characters in ways that guests will find hard to believe. As anticipation builds, the ride is expected to be a significant attraction in the Paradise Gardens and Pixar Pier areas of the park, replacing backstage areas to create this magical experience. Though Disney has not announced any closures of existing attractions, visitors will soon see the transformation of this space into a colorful homage to Dia de los Muertos.
Upcoming Opportunities to Experience 'Coco'
While the new ride will take some time to open, Disney is making sure that fans can still enjoy elements of “Coco” at both Disney parks. New figures of Miguel and Dante recently debuted in the iconic “it’s a small world” ride, bringing a fresh touch to the beloved attraction. Additionally, fans can find a “Coco” float in the seasonal “Magic Happens” daytime parade at Disneyland Park, which adds another layer of celebration to Miguel’s adventures.
At Disney California Adventure, guests can immerse themselves in the Plaza de la Familia, which reanimates during the autumn months. This multicultural celebration features lively street shows and engaging activities that highlight the themes of family and remembrance present in the film. Visitors looking for exclusive experiences can also explore luxury offerings such as private Disney fireworks dining packages and behind-the-scenes tours at Universal Orlando.
In Anticipation of the Grand Opening
Although a specific opening date for the “Coco” ride has yet to be announced, with construction expected to commence fall 2025, excitement surrounding the attraction continues to build. Fans of the film and theme park enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting more details as Disney reveals their plans. As you explore the wonder of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, remember to partake in the existing experiences surrounding “Coco” while we await this vibrant new attraction.
