On 28 August, the world was left shocked by the tragic passing of Black Panther star, Chadwick Boseman, who had fought a four year battle with colon cancer.

Following his untimely death, Whoopi Goldberg has asked Disney theme parks to honour Chadwick’s legacy by building a Wakanda experience.

Taking to Twitter, Whoopi said “Dear People in charge of building NEW experiences Disney Land and World we don’t really need another Frozen land BUT what we could use is Wakonda,

“please Disneyworld Disneyland PLEASE build in Chadwick Boseman’s name WAKONDA,” she continued. (We’ll let it slide that she consistently misspelled ‘Wakanda’, as it’s for such a good cause.)

Recently, the Disney theme parks have made some progress when it comes to diversity, including re-theming its iconic ride, Splash Mountain, from Disney’s problematic Song of the South, to 2009’s The Princess and the Frog.

Many members of the Black community cited Black Panther as their first proper representation from Disney on such a large scale, after the MCU movie grossed an incredible $1.3 billion.

Chadwick’s friends and co-stars recently paid tribute to the actor, with Michael B Jordan writing a lengthy emotional post via Instagram, saying “I’m gonna miss your honesty, your generosity, your sense of humor, and incredible gifts. I’ll miss the gift of sharing space with you in scenes. I’m dedicating the rest of my days to live the way you did.

“With grace, courage, and no regrets. ‘Is this your king!?’ Yes. He. Is! Rest In Power Brother,” said the Creed star to his 14.4 million followers.

I’ve been trying to find the words, but nothing comes close to how I feel. I’ve been reflecting on every moment, every conversation, every laugh, every disagreement, every hug…everything. I wish we had more time. One of the last times we spoke, you said we were forever linked , and now the truth of that means more to me than ever. Since nearly the beginning of my career, starting with All My Children when I was 16 years old you paved the way for me. You showed me how to be better, honor purpose, and create legacy. And whether you’ve known it or not…I’ve been watching, learning and constantly motivated by your greatness. I wish we had more time. Everything you’ve given the world … the legends and heroes that you’ve shown us we are … will live on forever. But the thing that hurts the most is that I now understand how much of a legend and hero YOU are. Through it all, you never lost sight of what you loved most. You cared about your family , your friends, your craft, your spirit. You cared about the kids, the community, our culture and humanity. You cared about me. You are my big brother, but I never fully got a chance to tell you, or to truly give you your flowers while you were here. I wish we had more time. I'm more aware now than ever that time is short with people we love and admire. I’m gonna miss your honesty, your generosity, your sense of humor, and incredible gifts. I’ll miss the gift of sharing space with you in scenes. I’m dedicating the rest of my days to live the way you did. With grace, courage, and no regrets. “Is this your king!?” Yes . he . is!  Rest In Power Brother.
