News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

[mickEblu]

Is it possible that we haven’t seen a Demo permit for the Maintenance building because it’s going to be annexed into the new building they re building? Kind of like they did with ITTBAB and Web Slingers. Is that why they re just removing the small electrical building in front of the Maintenance building? Not to say that wouldn’t need a permit of its own.

Anything is possible.

As I suggested before, until foundation is poured we won't know anything with 100% certainty.

I guess the question would be is there any inherent reason a permit for annexing the building would be filed any later than a permit for demoing the entire building?

Annex is probably the wrong way to phrase this. It would be a change of use permit or even change of address permit if its "merging" with the new building, and yes that would come much later than a demo permit. As it could be months after they already start construction on the new building.

Yeah I wasn't sold on the word of choice either but you got the point. Don't know a whole lot about Construction.

Hmmm ok so if that would typically come much later than a demo permit I may be onto something...

Could be, or it could still be demoed later and the permit just hasn't been filed yet (or is still listed as Confidential with no address).

Yeah any of those are possible. Or it may not be demo'd at all. Just offering one possible reason why the small electrical building is being demo'd but we haven't seen a demo permit for the Maintenance bldg.

Some interesting updates on the Monday FreshBaked video. Some trenching near the small building, and trees being cut down near that backstage crosswalk (I’m thinking maybe moving the crosswalk and curb?)

He also keeps reiterating every week that it’s the parade building he’s heard is the building that’s going away.

Does he have a solid track record for “hearing” things that end up happening?

I think he’s gotten a couple things right in the past. Small stuff that I can’t even remember off the top of my head. But he’s also gotten some things wrong. So he’s only as good as whoever the particular source du jour is.

So this popped up today.

Dca - Substation #210/Boh - Site Work: 562 Sq Ft New Attached Canopy. Install (13) New Light Poles And (9) Ev Chargers. 100 Ln Ft X 8 Ft Tall Cmu Wall And 99 Ln Ft X 8 Ft Tall Chain Link Fence. With Electrical And Plumbing.

Substation#210 was part of the demo permit. Where I saw the permit it did not have a building number but it was filed the same day as the demo permit was made.

(not trying to take away from SSG) Just wanted to share

Just checking in after a few weeks and skimming pages casually to see what's new on this ride.

And if we are at this point in April '26, there's absolutely no way this ride is opening until sometime in calendar year 2029.

I disagree, it's a standalone attraction, no way this takes 3 years. Avengers Campus rides 2027, Coco 2028. Avatar 2030 or so.

I wouldn’t go as far as saying there’s no way Avengers doesn’t up in 2028 but it is looking less likely every day. I’d say right now the next we can hope for is Fall to very late 2028.

My thoughts are they are wanting minimal space between Monsters Inc closing, and new rides coming up. Potentially one of the reasons they adjust the timeline for closing Monsters Inc.

AC rides will be mid to late 2027, Coco mid to late 2028.

I mean that makes sense but construction progress has really slowed and it’s already May. At the end of the day Monsters is one medium capacity ride. If they have to make do without having a replacement up for a few months they will. This winter they had Grizzly and Incredicoaster down at the same time. It can’t be worse than that. Not saying 2027 is impossible but they need to pick it up.

It's really hard to notice progress on AC expansion because it's just a super boring building with no landmark features. It's not much more than a big box retail store from the exterior, except they'll put some screens up along the top edge like those screens at Epic Universe's portals. But other than that, there's not much to watch or see get completed. I do think the attractions will open in 2027, probably Fall.

Right. Once the building is enclosed (which is probably happening very soon) track and set install will begin in earnest.

The building is still see through is it not? Have we been seeing any action at all?
