Dante's Alebrije Adventure
A concept for a Coco attraction for Disney's California Adventure based on the 2017 film.
Guests experience the timeless world of Coco as they fly with Dante and Miguel to a family concert in the Land of the Dead . Dante invites Miguel to the concert, but gets lost along the way. You must join Miguel and his family to find Dante and make it to the concert in time.

Each ride vehicle is unique, styled after a different animal. When guests enter the ride vehicle, it appears to be a regular animal. However, during the ride when guests enter the land of the dead, the animal transforms into a colorful alebrije, with a little help from blacklight technology. Each ride vehicle seats 6 people and departs one at a time.
The attraction is situated in a themed area, complete with a bandstand for live music, a gift shop, quick food carts, and a sit-down Mexican Restaurant.
