News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

Idk if this will make ppl angry but I am in full favor of them ripping out all of Paradise Gardens, Goofys, and Little Mermaid to make it a South American pair/port across from Pixar Pier and throwing in Up or Encanto there

At this point, sure, as long as they keep the charm of the restaurant area. I'm mostly just biased against Goofy's though - it's my least favorite ride at the resort and it's not exactly close.

Yes but what can be done with Goofy’s Sky Skool or Golden Zephyr. I would say the best retheme option for Sky Skool is Ratatouille and it would be amazing if they could enclose it. Golden Sephyr is a different story unless they have these zephyrs in Elio.

Oh I didn’t realize you meant the very end. I was thinking about Splash earlier after your original post but the setting of the ROA and Splash are harmonious and it’s so quick I’d say the majority of guests don’t even notice they re in the ROA for a quick second. I also believe with Splash that it was a necessity as opposed to Coco where it would be a creative choice. At DCA you’d be dropping out of the Land of Dead and next to the Pixar Pal Around and ugly pipes sticking out of the water ? I don’t think that works. If Pixar Pier was lacking in kinetic energy I might entertain it. I just don’t see what the upside would be here. Certainly not budget friendly. I feel like that money would be better allocated going towards show enhancing elements.

I think some kinetic energy between SSS and Pixar Pal Around is welcome, especially if it's at the water level. The lack of visual features or movement in the bay is one of the weakest parts of DCA for me.

And I think exiting the cartoon world of Splash for a brief trip outside before returning to the cartoon world was a great choice. That element of turning through the ROA is one of the many reasons I preferred Disneyland's over Disney World's.

Am attraction taking place at the water level would be killer. It's the reason people loved TL 67 with the Monorail up high, People Mover a little higher. Astro Jets spinning high. Autopia climbing over the landscape, and subs circling the lagoon.

Yeah I love it on Splash. Particular the beginning of the ride though and how it all kind of builds up before you splash into the show building. I just don’t think it would play out the same with Coco/ Land of the Dead dropping into the bay.

I don't see them having the flume dip into Paradise Bay at all mostly because that would necessitate the attraction to close during World of Color performances.

I would be beyond disappointed if Coco is a rehashed of Tangled ride in Tokyo DisneySea.

Brickey had a Q&A and said he thinks Coco will be similar in scale as the Magic Kingdom Pirates. If that turns out to be true that would be amazing.

They wouldn't have to close for WOC. Splash never closed for Fantasmic.

I didn't know Mexico was in California. That is still the parks theme, right?

Mexico crash landed on the Pier.

Might be shocking to you but Walt appreciated mexican culture and had it represented at Disneyland since the 1950s. Now that DCA celebrates Walt arriving at California it actually fits narratively!

California was Mexico. Plus, nobody said the ride started/ended in Mexico. We just know it will be set, for the most part, in the land of the dead.

Have you ever been to California or even know its history?

The irony is of all the themes they’re cramming in this park, this one actually fits.

Certainly better than Avatar, Marvel, or most other Pixar properties (sans Cars/Route 66). But even just overall.

I don’t know about building size…I believe more on par with Frozen Ever After has with it details of animatronics, show scenes, technology.

Yeah tech wise like FEA or better hopefully. I think MK Pirates is a good guess because the queue is long and mostly indoors. It looks like Coco will by similar based on the concept art and if they want to block noise from Incredicoaster.

Twice and it has not been part of Mexico since the early 1800s
