Today, Johnson (@therock) took to Instagram to talk about his new Disney Parks series coming to Disney+, Behind the Attraction:

Cool series alert ?

Take a moment now to think about your FAVORITE RIDES when you and family visited the DISNEY PARKS around the world ? ?

From SPACE MOUNTAIN to SPLASH MOUNTAIN – from PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN to JUNGLE CRUISE – from STAR WARS all the way to ITS A SMALL WORLD and many more!

Our @sevenbucksprod is partnering with @DisneyPlus and director Brian Volke-Weiss (“The Toys That Made Us”) to bring you the highly anticipated original series called BEHIND THE ATTRACTION.

A fascinating behind the scenes look at how all these famous and beloved rides became famous, beloved and ICONIC DISNEY rides.

And if you look closely at this poster ? you’ll see a certain big, brown, bald “Skipper Frank” taking his unsuspecting passengers on the ADVENTURE OF A LIFE TIME from JUNGLE CRUISE ? ??

This is gonna be a FUN SERIES for you and your families to watch!
