    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    I would love that idea but the Pixar Place Hotel lies directly across the street from Goofy's. There would need to be some creative maneuvering to make that work. It seems easier to just use the bridge they originally showed in the concept behind Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    The attraction, including its facade, is tucked behind the original pavilion. There is this archway off to the side of the pavilion that draws you around the corner to the new area.

    As long as it's executed better than Little Mermaid I'm sold. In fact I was hoping they'd replace it with Coco but I suppose it's still too new to be eyed for replacement. And it is a great people eater.

    True. But the rest of the park's western edge is consumed by the Grand Californian. And then the Paradise Gardens section is lined up with the PPH. Realisticly this area is pretty much the only place they could built a crossing to the expansion without tearing down anything major. Who knows...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    Either way this might be the project I'm most excited for. 🤩 They set expectations pretty high by comparing this to Pirates and Haunted Mansion before they've even broken ground... if they can deliver, this could be one of the best attractions at DCA and an attraction like this is so badly...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    I do think the Simba lot is years away from being used for expansion, but I also think any future builds from here on out in both parks will be purpose built with the DLForward expansion in mind. Especially a project like Coco that's taking place right where the bridge to the expansion is meant...

    That is a great point but I'd imagine that there's much more that we haven't seen yet. How does this tie in to the bridge across Disneyland Drive to the DLForward expansion that we've already been shown? You'd have to walk through the Coco themed archway to get to all the other lands? That...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    I wouldn't be too surprised if they permanently cut parades at DCA. They did the same thing with the three parks at WDW in the past two decades and designated Magic Kingdom as the only park with parades. Although they did just create a new Pixar parade for DCA last year, so there are signs of...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    Well, I don't necessarily agree with Hey Brickey that they would be keeping the parade gate in the place where it is today. I think one of the big mysteries in general here is what happens to the parade building with this new project - is it actually safe? Or will they move it somewhere else...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    I'm thinking the parade gate area will open up to a sort of new entry way where you can enter and either turn right to go across the bridge to the new Disneyland Forward expansion, or turn left and see the Coco archway concept art

    The only evidence being presented to support it looking identical, as you say, is the coaster existing on the left side and a circular planter. The coaster looks like that from nearly every angle & location you can see it from. But additionally the real coaster in that spot by the wooden parade...

    It's not that it "matters" All I'm saying is that I disagree with this concept below that's being shared all over and presented as fact by many. It doesn't line up, in my opinion, & I was glad to see Hey Brickey have the same idea as me.

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    The section of Incredicoaster that goes around Inside Out has two levels and this artwork only shows one. I still think the coaster section we see here is another spot that's only visible backstage right now and is not the inside out helix. The round planter doesn't confirm anything. There are...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    Personally I think the archway facade is likely to be in a different spot that's currently backstage. Moreso like this mockup by Hey Brickey. I do think the parade gate will still be used to access the new area but I think the concept art is back farther like in this drawing.

    Where did Disney say that the concept art with the archway is the parade gate?

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    Disney said that the attraction is being built in "areas that are predominantly backstage today". We don't know exactly where the concept art with the archway facade is. Many folks speculated that it's where the wooden parade gate exists today. I disagree and think the concept art is showing...

    I think his second theory is probably correct. I think that concept art is showing a space currently backstage behind the coaster, not the parade gate location.

    This is the most valid point here as WDI has built family boat rides themed to children's IPs *this decade* with both forward and backward drops. I know they are sort of clones of the Maelstrom ride layout (for better or for worse), but there was clearly a decision to *not* remove the drops.
