I still think Philarmagic should go as well for a second Avatar attraction.

The "ought" year belongs to the previous decade. You don't start counting with Year 0.

Is a 20 year old still in their teens.

When you’re 40 would you say you were still in your 30’s?

Hot take but the monorail should be left alone and allowed to run through Avatar land. It’s already a science fiction land and really wouldn’t be that big of a deal. Besides, immersion is a stupid metric.

Some people never get out of their teens.

If I remember right the monorail has to be moved because it would be in the way of the Harbor bridge, it’s a necessity issue rather than a cosmetic issue.

 

[MoonRakerSCM]

Yup. The monorail WILL move because it's in the way of the eastern gateway bridge walkway.

For the placement not being very good, I think they are referring to it going into HL and the existing design with the monorail beam compromising the design. For HL to work for Avatar, they would probably have to demo the whole thing, Backlot, Disney Junior, and the Hyperion depending on the scale they want achieve.

For moving it, I think they mean putting in the Simba lot.

See, when that poster said it could be going in a nonsensical place, my head immediately went to them dumping Avatar into Grizzly Peak.

I mean, Way of Water, right? Guess what area has a water ride already.

And if they really wanted to turn Soarin into some FOP sort of thing, they could.

Plus, then there's a convenient hotel that can be Avatar-d nearby. Stay AND play like a Navi!

I really hope I'm wrong, but I also could totally see them making a choice like this because clearly logic isn't part of the decision process any longer.

How they haven’t renamed this park to “Disney’s Hollywood Adventure” or “Disney’s Realms of Adventure” yet surprises me.

Not saying that it would be a bad thing- there’s just little to no relevance to California anymore (which is fine because I always thought DCA was a dumb idea) and it’s a park that now just has immersive IP-themed lands. Might as well commit to it since it’s very much DLR’s version of DHS.

Given they recently changed the name to Disney Adventure World in Paris I suspect a name change is coming sooner rather than later for DCA.

Such a shame, too, given how great DCA was trending from 2010-2015. If only the park had been built with a proper budget and better planning, I truly believe DCA could have rivaled DAK for the second best Disney park in the US.

When you’re 40 would you say you were still in your 30’s?

Is a 10 year old in their teens?

ETA Not a hill I care to die on, just sharing the semantics. And no, I was not a wet blanket for the millennium celebrations.

That's a best-case scenario for me. Well, BEST case would be replacing their Pier/Gardens with Avatar, but I know that coaster isn't going anywhere.

Just a point of correction there, a teen doesn't start until 13 anyways so not really part of this decade discussion.

Really it doesn't matter, as most of the world considers the start of a decade on the 0 years rather than the 1. This is even though our calendar didn't technically start with year 0. So if the consensus is that a decade starts on the 0 and ends on the 9 then that is the answer.

Yeah I mean DCA, HWS, and DAW are all essentially the same type of park now, it wouldn’t surprise me either if they tried to tie them all under the “Adventure” banner at some point.

Hollywood Adventure at WDW sounds better to me and makes more sense considering the “Studios” aspect of it doesn’t really exist anymore.

Well good thing DCA already has "Adventure" in its name already then, it'll be easy to just change the "California" part.

True but I have a feeling if necessary Disney will say they meant ending in the 0 if things run behind.

No doubt, there is the calendar everyone else follows and then there is the Disney calendar which is just made up.

but Disneyland is already immersed.... in urban sprawl.

 

[Disney Analyst]

I always thought they should just change it to Disney Adventure.

But I think they've just really landed on not caring, and seeing it as a Disney Adventure park, located in California. Disney California ... Adventure
