Disney Unveils Coco Sequel Attraction for Disney California Adventure

A boat-based dark ride continuing Miguel's story highlights the film's music, cultural roots, a Casa Museo queue, a Héctor maquette.

Overview

  • Disney confirmed the attraction will pick up one year after the film and put guests inside Miguel’s memories of the Land of the Dead via a boat-through dark ride.
  • The queue will begin in Pixar Pier next to Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind and will be themed as a Casa Museo honoring Héctor Rivera.
  • Imagineers showed concept art and a Héctor maquette at D23 and said the project leans on classic attraction design to build animated characters and set pieces.
  • D23 activities tied to the attraction included guest-written memory cards intended to be placed under a special tree, and Disney has said the ride will have no height requirement.
  • The project aims to preserve Coco’s music and Día de los Muertos traditions while construction continues at Disney California Adventure and related creative work on the franchise moves forward.
