Construction efforts are well underway in and around the footprint of the new Coco attraction coming to Disney’s California Adventure.
‘Coco’ Ride Construction Update
In our previous update, we had noticed that a new large dirt pile along the back side of the green scrim had been trenched out, and more landscaping has been planted along Disneyland Drive.
Based on these new photos from our latest visit to Disneyland, we’ve noticed workers planting more trees along Disneyland Drive, which have been added alongside smaller plants and shrubbery to help block the scrim fencing from guests’ view.
We also noticed the excavator lifting a section of connected pipes in the center of the site, likely in the process of lowering pipe segments into the trench, which can be seen past the road and scrim.
A pile of pipes with a similar diameter can be seen directly behind the excavator.
‘Coco’ Ride Details
A name for the Coco ride hasn’t been released yet, but story details were shared during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.
Instead of simply retelling the story of Coco, the attraction will continue Miguel Rivera’s story approximately one year after the film. Miguel can now openly pursue music following the Rivera family’s reconciliation with its musical past and the restoration of Héctor’s place in the family’s history.
The attraction’s placement after the film also allows Héctor to be publicly celebrated as the musician he was before Ernesto de la Cruz stole his songs and took credit for his work. Imagineers are working closely with Pixar Animation Studios to incorporate references to both the original film and the upcoming Coco 2.
