Bob Iger has revealed new details about Disney’s upcoming Toy Story lands, promising to “immerse visitors in a toy world”, when they open later this year in Shanghai and Orlando.

Speaking during an earnings call, the Disney president and CEO said the company was looking forward to the launch of the multi-million dollar investments, which is expected to provide a boost to already strong visitor numbers at both parks.

“Given the fact that that the franchise is still quite popular and we're making a fourth Toy Story film that comes out in 2019, we feel really good about it,” said Iger, speaking during an earnings call.

“They're large in size – 10 acres versus the 13 acres we have for Cars Land – and they'll have very, very distinct IP from Toy Story. People will know exactly what the experience is going to be and we’re going to immerse you in a toy world.”

The all-new lands will shrink visitors “to the sizes of Woody and Buzz and the other toys in Andy's collection as they explore Andy's backyard," according to Disney, with a spinner ride based on ‘The Claw’, and a Slinky-themed family rollercoaster.

The lands will also feature the popular Toy Story Mania ride, with a third track added to the existing version at Hollywood Studios in Orlando.

The first of the two lands comes to China in April at Shanghai Disneyland, with the second coming to Hollywood Studios in Orlando during the summer.

The openings will be followed by the launches of Star Wars lands, with those additions come to California and Orlando next year.
