Disney CEO Bob Iger suggested that Black Panther fans may be able to visit Wakanda at the company's Disney World and Disneyland theme parks, CBR.com reports.
Iger spoke at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference and hinted that a ride just may be coming when asked if his company had something in the works.
“No. We haven’t had a chance to build a ride,” he replied, before adding, “Though I’m sure there are people who are working on it.”
Iger also he spoke on the the film's cultural relevance and significance, noting the effect adding a little dash of the world of Wakanda has already had on the parks.
“[Black Panther] is an important moment in culture, as fans line up for an hour in advance to meet the walkaround characters at Disneyland,” said Iger, referring to the costumed park employees that walk around the parks and participate in parades.
Wow. Disneyland really got #BlackPanther and #DoraMilaje there. Not only is this important for black kids to be represented, this also shows kids of ALL races that EVERYONE can be a hero, no matter the background. #DoYouEvenComicBook #DYECB pic.twitter.com/rDTZRnKoNi— The New Comic Book Daywalker????????♂️ #DYECB (@TASKvsTheWorld) February 17, 2018
Imagine a Black Panther ride where you sit on the Wakandan throne and visit the ancestral plane, or one where you get to pilot one of the country's ships or one where you get to experience Shuri's advanced technology. Hurry up and take our money!
