Disney’s Big Pixar Surprise: Unique New Experience Announced for Theme Park
Disney’s commitment to Pixar has grown exponentially over the years, with the iconic animation studio playing an increasingly central role in the offerings at Disney parks around the globe. Today, Disney took this legacy even further with the announcement of a new Pixar-inspired attraction coming to Hong Kong Disneyland, adding yet another thrilling chapter to the Pixar story across its theme parks.
Since the inception of Pixar, the studio’s colorful worlds and beloved characters have found a permanent place in Disney parks worldwide. Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure, for instance, immerses guests in a vibrant, Pixar-themed environment, featuring attractions such as the Incredicoaster, a high-speed roller coaster inspired by The Incredibles (2004).
Beyond the rides themselves, Disney ensures that the Pixar universe permeates the entire park experience. Pixar Fest, a recurring celebration at Disneyland Resort, showcases nighttime spectaculars and limited-time offerings inspired by films like Coco (2017) and Up (2009).
At Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris, guests can enjoy the unique TOGETHER: A Pixar Musical Adventure, a stage production that brings together characters from multiple Pixar films for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience. These efforts ensure that Pixar’s magic doesn’t just stay confined to its attractions but extends to every corner of the park, creating a fully immersive environment.
Despite the vast expansion of Pixar’s presence in Disney parks, Disney isn’t stopping anytime soon. At Walt Disney World Resort, two new Pixar lands are currently under development. One will be inspired by Monsters, Inc. (2001), and the other by Cars (2006), further reinforcing Pixar’s continued significance in Disney’s global park strategy.
Meanwhile, a Coco-themed ride will soon be added to Disney California Adventure, adding to the expansion of Pixar’s influence in California after last year’s debut of Pixar Place Hotel.

As Michael Moriarty, Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, noted on Instagram, this will be “a first and unique to Hong Kong,” though further details remain under wraps.
In addition to the Pixar news, Hong Kong Disneyland is set to unveil more major additions in the coming years. A new Marvel attraction is on the horizon, expanding the park’s Stark Expo area within Tomorrowland.
This new Spider-Man attraction, rumored to be similar to the Tower of Terror, will join the park’s other Marvel-based rides, including Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle! and the Iron Man Experience. Guests can also look forward to the debut of the “Friendtastic!” Parade, described as the largest in Hong Kong Disneyland’s history, featuring 11 floats, one of which will be inspired by Encanto (2021).
