Disney reveals new details about much-anticipated Avatar World – and one beloved ride is set to close
There's lots going on in Disney around the world - including new Cars and Frozen lands MAKE ROOM Disney reveals new details about much-anticipated Avatar World – and one beloved ride is set to close Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DISNEYLAND Resort has revealed more details about two upcoming attractions based around Avatar and Pixar's Coco. However, the opening of the new areas in California will result in the closure of a beloved ride. 6 An Avatar-themed attraction will open in Disneyland Resort Credit: 20th Century Studios 6 It's believed the Avatar attraction will have a boat ride Credit: 20th Century Studios It's no secret that Disney is opening an Avatar destination and a Coco-themed ride in California - but now they've revealed where they will be in the park. The Avatar destination will transform part of the Hollywood Backlot area in Disney California Adventure. But there's sad news for some because in order to make room, Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! will close in early 2026. For anyone who's a fan of Monsters Inc., there is a new land opening up at Disney World's Hollywood Studios. It will have with the first-ever suspended coaster in a Disney Park. As for Avatar, there are official announcements about what will be in the land. But the concept images show a boat ride that looks similar to the Shanghai Disneyland version of Pirates of the Caribbean. It won't be the first Avatar-themed attraction in Disney as Pandora: The World of Avatar land opened at Disney World's Animal Kingdom in 2017. But Disney has said that it won't be exactly the same but instead will draw on "inspiration" from the other park. As for the Coco-themed land, this will be built near Paradise Gardens Park and Pixar Pier. First look at new Moana land opening at Disney World 6 There will also be a Coco area and ride Credit: Instagram 6 The music from Coco is set to be a big part of the theme Credit: Disney/Pixar This will mark Coco's is very first Disney Parks attraction at Disneyland's Disney California Adventure, and it will draw inspiration from Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. The attraction will be filled with characters and music will be a big part of the land too. Luckily, this area is mostly not used so nothing will have to close to make room. Construction for Coco is set to begin in Autumn. 6 Renders also reveal a new parking lot and bridge Credit: Instagram There will also be a new parking structure in the resort with 6,000 parking spaces as well as shuttle and rideshare areas. There will also be a pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard. Across the US in Florida's Walt Disney World Resort is yet another new land, and it's all dedicated to Cars. Called Piston Peak, the new land will allow fans to enter the fictional world of Cars with a National Park twist. Inside will be a new racing ride where visitors will drive through the mountains on wild terrain, avoiding geysers and mud holes. Disneyland Paris is going through a transformation too and is adding a whole new area called Disney Adventure World, which will eventually replace Walt Disney Studios Park. One of the very first areas to open will be the World of Frozen, and the Kingdom of Arendelle will open in 2026. Disney Adventure World will also feature a new "Lion King" themed area and log flume ride. One Sun Travel Reporter visited Disney's first music festival in Paris.

Fans of 70s band blast 'awful' biopic casting of Nick Jonas as rock legend
Nick Jonas has been cast in a new biopic about an iconic rock band – but fans aren't happy (Picture:) KISS fans have expressed their disappointment over the 'awful' and 'ridiculous' casting of Nick Jonas as frontman Paul Stanley in an upcoming biopic. The Jonas Brothers singer, 32, is reportedly set to star as the legendary musician, 73, in Shout It Out Loud, a biopic charting the 70s band's rise to fame. KISS – made up of Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss – formed in 1973 and went on to become one of the most influential and biggest-selling rock bands of all time. The film will be directed by McG, famed for his work on Charlie's Angels and Transformers. But fans aren't happy Jonas will be playing the Starchild, taking to social media to air their frustrations and vow to 'never see the film.' 'This casting just assures I will never watch this,' one person commented on a Reddit post about the casting news, while another simply added, 'Oh f**k no' and a third wrote, 'Absolutely not, that's awful.' Jonas will play KISS frontman and guitarist Paul Stanley (Picture: Robert Cianflone/AFL Photos/via Getty Images) Fans of the shock rockers have dubbed the casting 'awful' and vowed not to watch the film (Picture:) Shout It Out Loud will follow the band's rise to fame in the 1970s (Picture:) Others noted the band had enjoyed its fair share of controversy over the years. Several of its members openly admitted they had taken advantage of their star status to sleep with up to 5,000 women, while the band also caught flak for marketing a KISS-themed coffin. 'Absoultely (sic) ridiculous casting,' a commenter declared. 'But then we are talking about the band who replaced their lead guitarist with a roadie.' Elsewhere, commenters complained that too many music biopics had been released lately, with movies about the lives of Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, and Amy Winehouse all released in the last two years. 'I'm sure a lot of people must love them, but I cannot describe how happy I would be if they just stopped making most musician biopics,' one wrote. Other fans were more supportive, with Iamacannibal commenting: 'Nick is actually a really good actor. He was in a show called Kingdom a while back that is fantastic and he was great in it.' 'Oh I can totally see why they picked him he will really pull it off!' Rap_A_Toni93 posted, with other users drawing similarities between Jonas and Stanley's appearances. Some fans felt there had been too many music biopics in recent years (Picture: Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty Images) Further casting is yet to be announced (Picture: Medios) The Hollywood Reporter reports Jonas is in 'final talks' to take on the role of Stanley, while movie bosses are still looking for an actor to play the singer's bassist bandmate Simmons. The group is helping to develop the project while Stanley and Simmons are among the producers, along with McG. Deadline reports Jonas plans to take on singing duties in the film and needs time to train his voice to be able to emulate Stanley's signature vocals. Longtime KISS manager Doc McGhee previously revealed the movie would focus on the band's first four years together after forming in the 1970s. Speaking to Talking Metal in 2021, he explained: '[The script is] completely done … And the script is about the first four years of KISS. Basically, it's before they were famous – it was up to Cadillac High [KISS' famous gig in a high school gym in Cadillac, Michigan in 1975] , that kind of thing. 'And I think it's a very interesting look at the formation of KISS, the mindset of how that came about, the social pressure that everybody was in in the '60s and '70s that brought something like Kiss to the forefront, that it could actually happen. Longtime manager Doc McGhee said the film would explore the formation of the influential band (Picture:for SiriusXM) Stanley (left) said he would be 'there and watching' the casting process (Picture: Ginny Winn/Michael) 'So it's a very interesting, and I think it's a well-written movie.' Stanley has also previously spoken about the movie, telling broadcaster Kylie Olsson in 2021: '[The movie is] definitely happening. And that's gonna be really interesting. The script was really good. And we really waited until we felt comfortable.' Speaking of actors who could play him in the film, he added: 'I will tell you this: for casting to be accurate in terms of age, we are looking at actors in their early 20s. 'Honestly, I don't know a whole lot of actors in their early 20s. When people get asked these kinds of questions, they'll say, 'Oh, Brad Pitt,' or this one or that one.' He went on to say that he will be 'there and watching' as the casting process continues, so if that remains true, surely Jonas has the stamp of approval from the man himself. 'But as the casting process goes on, I'll certainly be there and watching. It'll be interesting to see how someone else- be it the casting people or the director – how they view who I am and who they see doing that. 'I think I'll learn a lot about their perception of me by who they cast.' The biopic was originally slated for a 2024 release date on Netflix, but so far, a revised release date has not been announced. Got a story?
