When Tangled (2010) debuted, no one expected it to become one of the most cherished modern Disney stories. But its mixture of adventure, comedy, romance, and unforgettable music made it an instant classic—and a film that fans still quote, sing, and rewatch today. Now, Disney is giving that love a new outlet: a dedicated Tangled attraction arriving in 2026.
It’s called Raiponce Tangled Spin, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most visually stunning additions Disney has announced in years.
A Lantern-Filled Ride Experience
The attraction’s concept pulls directly from one of the movie’s most iconic moments—the lantern sequence. Guests will board lantern-lit gondolas and swirl beneath hundreds of floating lights, all timed beautifully to “I See the Light.” Disney is aiming to capture the emotional heart of the film without relying on animatronics or heavy storytelling. Instead, this ride focuses on mood, movement, and the unmistakable glow of Rapunzel’s world.
What really elevates the experience is the involvement of Mandy Moore, who returned to record all-new audio for the attraction. That detail alone has sent excitement through the Disney community.
Key Features of the Attraction
Disney has shared a few early details that already have guests buzzing:
-
A swirling gondola-style motion system
-
A sky full of glowing lanterns surrounding the entire ride path
-
A soundtrack anchored by “I See the Light”
-
Brand-new announcements recorded by Mandy Moore
The result sounds like a Disney fairytale brought to life through color, music, and gentle movement rather than traditional ride thrills.
Part of a Larger Disney Expansion
This new Tangled ride arrives during a huge wave of growth for Disney. Alongside the lantern-lit attraction, guests can look forward to major additions like:
-
A sprawling Frozen-themed land
-
A Lion King–inspired area featuring cutting-edge animatronics
-
A new Up-themed flying carousel
-
Fourteen new dining spots, lush gardens, and expanded walkways
It’s one of the most ambitious transformations Disney has taken on in years, and Raiponce Tangled Spin fits right into that vision—offering a blend of charm, artistry, and storytelling that fans have been craving.
A New Era for Rapunzel
Tangled may have taken its time getting a spotlight attraction, but this new ride is a clear sign that Disney knows how much fans adore Rapunzel. With a glowing sky overhead and a soundtrack that hits straight in the feelings, the ride is set to become a must-do for families, princess fans, and anyone who’s ever dreamed of seeing the lanterns.
And with so much more arriving in 2026, this is just the start of a very bright year ahead for Disney’s fairytale line-up.
