Imagineering will draw inspiration from the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean for the new Coco attraction that will feature the latest Audio-Animatronic figures.
The new attraction is under construction on a backstage plot of underused land between Pixar Pier and Paradise Gardens.
The new Coco ride will debut after the Avenger Campus expansion currently under construction at Disney California Adventure.
