Expansion Plans at Disney's California Adventure™ Park
Plans for new additions to Disney's California Adventure park were formally unveiled by Cynthia Harriss, President of the Disneyland Resort, during a ceremony in celebration of the park’s first birthday on Friday, February 8.
"A Bug’s Land" will be an all-new playland opening this fall within the Golden State area of Disney's California Adventure park. Inspired by characters and settings from the Disney-Pixar animated film A Bug's Life, "A Bug’s Land" will encompass the existing "It’s Tough To Be A Bug" attraction and Bountiful Valley Farm presented by Caterpillar, with the addition of five new attractions in "Flik’s Fun Fair," a specially designed environment which will offer the young and the young-at-heart a look at the world from a bug’s point of view.
New attractions in "Flik’s Fun Fair" are being designed for the enjoyment of parents as well as children. They will include:
"Flik’s Flyers," a simulated bug-size hot air balloon ride
"Tuck & Roll’s Drive ‘Em Buggies," a crazy drive-it-yourself bug car ride under "P.T. Flea’s" circus tent
"Heimlich’s Chew Chew Train," a miniature railroad ride
"Francis’s Ladybug Boogie" aboard spin-‘em-yourself ladybugs
"Princess Dot’s Puddle Park," a playground themed around a giant-size sprinkler
Also coming to Disney's California Adventure park is "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror," a California version of the chilling and thrilling supernatural adventure which has proven wildly popular at Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World®. "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror" will open in 2004 in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot area of the park.
