Looking at it like this brings to light how theatrical the stage lighting was for Splash vs Tiana. Splash's lighting changed to reflect the story, getting mostly red to build anticipation up to the drop. The Laughin' Place had a different lighting scheme to the rest of the ride as well, which...

"To all who come to this crappy place, please leave so we can fit more people in and sell more tickets. Disney California Adventure is my land. Here, Intellectual Properties with no other place to go get plopped, and here bad ideas that should have been thrown out have a chance to live on...

Breaking: Pixar Pier Lagoon to be filled in for defunct Red Car Trolley car storage. "The most historically accurate California theming to come to California Adventure," a Disney spokesperson said.

Except it was only added 12 years ago as part of the beginning of the "big fix" for DCA.

Disappointing news. I've said it before, but I'd love it if they built an elevated track for the Red Car, similar to the Electric Railway in Tokyo Disney Sea and turned it into a DL Railroad equivalent for DCA. It could start on Buena Vista street, go thru the caves of Grizzly Peak, meander...

I hope they make an old LA Olvera Street inspired area for this. It would thematically fit in DCA and could be a cool transition into the ride, where guests could then be transported into the land of the dead.

Welcome recruits, your mission is to save Marvel from the evil King Thanos. He might kill the superhero genre even though some say its already dead! This diagram shows what's at stake- and no it's not a blueprint of the final drop of this ride. This is the projected stock value drop of the Walt...

I was thinking the other day that DCA could extend or adjust the Red Car Trolley to be on an elevated track, and cross Disneyland Drive into DCA's Disneyland Forward plot of land. Something like the Electric Railway from Tokyo DisneySea. I'm sure its not possible, but would be cool if the Red...

Nice, thanks for the info! I did notice that Garner Holt's instagram page didn't mention Tiana, the Frozen ride figures, or BATB. I wonder if whoever made the Tiana figures did BATB and Frozen as well. Would be cool to know if WDI still made some figures in house.

The main animatronics revealed for the ride are obviously really impressive in their fluidity and complexity. Does anyone know if Garner Holt still manufactures all of the animatronics for Disney? I remember reading in about 2012 that Disney shut down their MAPO division of imagineering and...

Wouldn't it be great if Grizzly River Run had more theming to Ranger Woodlore and Humphrey the bear? I can imagine animation from this special playing in the queue, with any mention of Brownstone National Park replaced and reanimated to Grizzly Peak National Park. It would be great if Disney...

Is that Tiana 2D animated show still being made for Disney+? I am wondering now if there's a possibility that the show will attempt to set up the ride. Who knows, Bob Iger might be cutting it into a feature for a summer theatrical release to coincide with the ride as we speak! To be clear, that...

Agreed. It's like if the Little Mermaid ride was all about Ariel becoming the CEO of a water bottle company after she became human. The whole ride takes place in an office building and we only see her wearing a black suit. Featuring new original music from the Baha Men!

Just wait a couple of years before they re-theme it to Guardians of the Galaxy and Pixar like they did with DCA.

Agreed. I still think the worst part of this re-theme is the way the exterior mountain will look.

Some of these tracks sound like royalty free music more suited for a prescription drug advertisement than a cartoon themed land. 😬

It would be amazing if they expanded Toontown from the cave near the rollercoaster, where the Galaxy's Edge expansion or Fantasyland theater is. Imagine an indoor land (like Diagon Alley) themed to black and white cartoons from the 20's. Skeleton Dance skeletons, Oswald, etc. Or they could all...

Ok, I have a few thoughts after listening to the original Toontown area loop as well as today's newly released Toontown area music. They did a good job with the new one and I like the idea that different instruments are playing thru different speakers throughout the land- that sounds like it...

Maybe the Avatar Experience will end up being an indoor spinner ride like Mary Poppins in Epcot! "Welcome recruits! Avatar 3 releases in 2 weeks and the visual effects aren't finished yet! Step into your giant Coffee Cups and whirl thru the Weta Workshop in a caffeinated work frenzy before...

It's not going to happen, but just throwing it out there that I'd so much rather have Tony Baxter's Jolly Holiday Mary Poppins ride concept or Tokyo's Beauty and the Beast than Avatar, especially within Disneyland park. I wonder if either of those ideas could fit within the Fantasyland Theater area.
