MouseInfo user Disneymomof4 is reporting that construction walls will go up Sunday night in Hollywood Pictures Backlot after Disney's California Adventure closes for the evening. These walls are so construction can begin on the "Red Car Trolley" track set to travel through the new main entrance, through Hollywood Pictures Backlot, and ending at Tower of Terror.

Now we just need a time table for when construction starts on Buena Vista Street.


In the far left hand side of this picture the light brown or grey building(the green are BOH buildings), just behind the pine trees, is said to be the Red Car Trolley barn.

I dont think the Golden Gate will be touched yet, its just track installation in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot that will start. As for the Golden Gate Bridge the concept art shows that it will be just a bridge like one found in LA.

I don't know California at all so what bridge would that be? :wave:

the Monorail track/Bridge will remain, but it will lose the Golden Gate Bridge theme. It is part of the all-new entrance, Buena Vista street. More information at this link

Wait, are they moving the entrance? Or just remodelling it?

Eventually when all is said and done Sunshine Plaza will have found a home in Yesterland and Buena Vista Street will be the new entrance.

Makes me glad I got to go to DL/DCA last July before some of this started. I'd be interested in planning a trip after World of Color launches...

From what I understand, they are doing both. I believe the entrance will be moved out to where the giant CALIFORNIA letters are now.

You must be referring to the so called "Suicide Bridge" that spans the Arroyo Seco and sits across from the Rose Bowl.

The Colorado Street Bridge in the Arroyo Seco area of Pasadena.

Along with continuing work in Paradise Park, Orange Stinger conversion and Little Mermaid. Luckily Paradise Park is suppose to be completed in Feb so the hall of walls will be no more:sohappy:. DL will have its fair share too with ROA walled and drained, HMH, Tomorrowland Terrace and what ever other repaving projects they can dish out lol.

I have a feeling we have yet to see the worse of the walls DCA still hasnt seen the walls for Buena Vista Street, Carsland(the area its taking over in Bugs Land) and the other projects in Paradise Pier.
