Coco ride? (Image on new Imagineering Site)

I loved Coco! It's one of the best Pixar movies in my opinion. One of the most recent Pixar movies to make me cry during the scene with Coco singing to his great grandma. Coco definitely deserves a ride!

This reminds me of a meme that was going around a while ago in Mexico!

A Coco ride is a hearse.


Too soon?

Maybe they will do it as an overlay of the Haunted Mansion.

They could do an attraction with Coco. Mexico is the most likely location.

I bet it would replace the mexico pavilion ride.

A Ratatouille ride is the digestive system


Too shi*ty?

I actually would be ok with the idea. But, as others have stated, I hope it's a ride about Dios de Los Muertos. That could be a wonderful way to use Coco and it's characters to be about something Mexican. And something you could do the in time the ride allows.

Those things showed up after it left theaters. Making up the rule "but seasonal doesn't count" is silly.

It's not silly because it's the same exact event every year since it was introduced with little to no changes, so by legal definition it is not new. Attractions, shows and events that are over 18 months old can no longer be labeled as new because it is technically false advertising. So until you can give me a solid example of something that has opened after the film left theaters that's not just a seasonal show your point is still invalid. Good day sir.

It’s not their decision.

It’s not their decision.

That's the most frustrating part. Imagineering is best when it's set free...

Aren't the cost overruns on Imagineering's rap sheet for their financial... freedoms?

To be fair, Imagineering has always run over budget from the beginning - look at the cost to build Disneyland. Wasn't it three times over budget? It's like they have to go over budget or they didn't do their job.

Coco was actually one of the weaker performers in the US market. It did well worldwide but doesn't hold up domestically to older, non-sequel, Pixar Films like UP or Rat when you take inflation into consideration.

Here are the breakdown of Pixar films takings:

That said, I don't see why they wouldn't do this attraction. Makes a lot more sense to do it for many more reasons than just comparing it's performance at the box office.

That is a fair point, I did not account for inflation in my prior post. Coco comes next to last domestically of the non-sequel Pixar films when adjusted for inflation. It performed 25% less than the adjusted domestic average and almost 18% less than the adjusted domestic median.

That being said, I have my suspicions as to why it comparatively underperformed here, and I don't believe those domestic market forces would have an impact on getting a ride built. Afterall, the #1 and 2 adjusted domestic non-sequel Pixar films are currently only represented by a much-derided show (Monsters Inc Laugh Floor) and a meet-and-greet (Joy and Sadness from Inside Out) at WDW.

Since WDW gets so many international guests, Worldwide gross is still the best proxy for how a Coco ride would be received, esp in World Showcase. Adjusted for inflation, Coco is the #5 non-sequel Pixar film worldwide.

It’s been a good while since Disney built anything budget friendly.

Just because you said that, now we're gonna get a Sky Rocket 2 themed to Indiana Jones...

Well TBH.. what Non-Pixar movie has done well for Disney outside of Frozen, Marvel and SW? Pixar has been the goto IP for many attractions and rightfully so. I would have no problem with Coco in the parks.
