DCA Billion Dollar Renovation!

[tslrocks]

Has construction started for cars land and the little mermaid ride? I want to see any pics of it of were and when it is suppose to happen!

Nothing yet, but you may want to check up with www.dlnewstoday.com, they are supposedly going to be doing daily news updates, so they might have progress on construction when it actually begins. Don't worry, DCA will be fixed in not too long!!! LOL

Nope.
Work on Mermaid won't really begin until late this year, maybe even early next year.
Carsland won't open for another 4 years, so it'll be awhile before it really get's underway.

You are totally ignorant if you don't see the writing on the wall... Once this is all done, or in progress.. The park is likely to be renamed Disney Studio California, or the like.

Haven't seen much, but you should check the DL forum.

There's also a pretty comprehensive thread over at the place where mice tend to chat in their DL Forum called the "DCA Project Tracker".

I agree with this, DCA will probably be named DHS. If you think about it, I wouldn't doubt it that if Carsland is a success, then that's what will go into the Backlot Tour area at DHS. DCA's already got ToT, Muppetvision, TSM, Playhouse Disney, the Animation tour, and the upcoming Walt Disney Story in common with DHS, not to mention that the revamped turnstiles will look exactly the same as DHS's. I think that it makes sense that it be named DHS.

Nope. If the name changes, it will just drop the "Adventure" part. The "Studios" is only a small section of that park.

Nope again. Carsland, as designed for DCA, won't fit at DHS. WAY too big.

Perhaps its just me but the construction schedule seems pretty unambitious to me. I am planning a trip for August 2009 (a year and a half from now) and the only thing that will be completed by that time is Midway Mania. I know Carsland is a serious undertaking but does it really take 3 years to build a dark ride (Little Mermaid) and re-do the park entrances?

When is construction on the main entrance going to start and end?

 

[CaesarBoxFan]

According to the "DCA Project Tracker" Thread, work on the entrance will be start in late 2009 and open sometime in 2011.
