The New Rides and Experiences Coming Soon to Disney Parks

New Disney Parks experiences and rides are on their way, as announced by Disney Experiences at the South by Southwest event in Austin, Texas. 

This summer, ahead of the Fantastic Four: First Steps movie opening in theaters, parkgoers visiting Tomorrowland at Disneyland will be able to meet the characters of the movie: Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm. 

Star Wars fans will enjoy a new Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run mission featuring The Mandalorian and his adorable child, Grogu, which will come on the heels of the movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu on Memorial Day Weekend 2026. 

Parks-goers will enjoy an exciting lineup of new rides and experiences soon coming to both parks, like a new Monsters, Inc.-themed door coaster, the first suspended coaster and vertical lift ride at a Disney Park. The new ride will debut in Hollywood Studios.

Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom will enjoy a new Pixar Animation-themed experience: a Cars-themed off-road rally race.

Stark Flight Lab is coming to the Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure; inspired by the Marvel character Tony Stark, the lab will feature Stark technology and provide parkgoers with opportunities to practice battling alongside superheroes. 

"The stories we tell are powered by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technology into everything we do," said Josh D'Amaro, Disney Experiences Chairman, at the South by Southwest event. "It's a blend of art and science we take directly from our founder, Walt Disney – our original visionary and innovator."
