Walt Disney Company is developing new attractions based on George Lucas's sci-fi franchise. Other brands recently acquired by the studio, such as "Indiana Jones," are also expected to inspire new attractions for Disney parks.

On July 10, the company opened a new area of Disneyland Paris dedicated to "Ratatouille," which is set in the French capital. This new "land," Disney's term for a themed area within one of its parks, includes a new 4D simulator attraction, the only one of its kind worldwide, which allows visitors to experience the rat's adventures. There is also a restaurant, and a souvenir shop is expected to open soon, all within a distinctly Parisian decor.

Elsewhere, lands dedicated to "Toy Story" (Hong Kong and Paris) and to "Cars" (California) have been successful at attracting visitors to Disney parks, Iger said

Disney's recent acquisition of the "Avatar" franchise should only reinforce the trend. Attractions based on James Cameron's blockbuster are expected to open at Disneyworld's Animal Kingdom in Orlando as early as next year.
