Cine-mehModern Disney guests would be too confused by any variation on the word “cinema.”
Hopefully Sept 3 when they close the land we will get a press release? in the same way that when Pixar Pier opened they announced the "emoootional whiiiiiirlwind."
They’re delaying because Star Wars Land. Superheroes Land won’t be detailed until well after the launch of Star Wars Land and the new parking structure. Why mess up the marketing message? Plus budgets haven’t been freed up.It seems to me that Disney will delay deciding on the final configuration for as long as possible. They can start with Bug's Land (it was was always going to be sacrificed), which will take at least 18 months. If the the political winds in Anaheim change in the meantime and a version of the Eastern Gateway is revived, maybe expansion goes north. Maybe nothing changes and expansion goes behind MB. Keep the options open.
If you really want to think about it, as I did, the direction they are heading in really fits the modern day California theme..
Pixar Pier - cheap and low-quality California Pier, with loveable Pixar characters
Cars Land - CA / AZ border? Probably AZ seeing that it's cleaner and the restrooms (rest stops) are actually OPEN and clean
Marvel Land - Inspired by the Exxon Mobil / Refinery Services plant in Torrance, CA
Hollywood Land - An old and outdated mess
I was certainly wrong in thinking the name DCA should be changed.
When I visited DCA I wasn't even so much angry about Pixar Pier and Mission Breakout as I was sad. Like, Grizzly Peak, Buena Vista Street, Cars Land, and new/old Paradise Pier were all so well done and on the right track. It could've been a great park. Ugh.
I remember when they were re-doing the entrance, and constructing Cars Land - I was thrilled for the future of DCA. It was focusing on the beautiful parts of California back in its golden age. I was hoping Hollywood Land was next to get its big re-do.
But now, In a sharp decline since $hapek took over, it's heading in a direction I just don't recognize.
ToT > M:B
Paradise Pier > Pixar Pier
Soarin over CA > Soarin around the World
Muppet Vision 3D > nothing
To be fair Soarin around the World was under Staggs as it has been part of Shanghai which was his project....
Very true. MV3D closing was pre-chapek too. Was Frozen?
I don't even mind the idea of taking out Soarin', Muppets, or Aladdin, I feel like those were expendable attractions that could use their space better for one reason or another. I didn't complain when their changes were announced in hopes that their replacements would be better. Unfortunately, they weren't. But those were changes that could've benefited DCA but instead didn't. Mission Breakout and Pixar Pier both dumbfounded me at their announcements and upset me with their results.I remember when they were re-doing the entrance, and constructing Cars Land - I was thrilled for the future of DCA.

They could've added a handful of animatronic animals to Grizzly River Run and brought in more people than Pixar Pier didThey could have built an E-ticket in the remainder of the lot behind TOT/Cars Land for the money they spent on M:BO and Pixar Pier.
