It's just the bridge man.
the green blandness
That’s not a bridge.
Disneysea05 is referring to the Pan Pacific Auditorium, the (extinct) building the current turnstiles are modeled after.

Well doesn't the monorail go over it? In that case it is a bridge. Anyways the original building is much better looking than the bridge at dca. The design just works better as a building, I suppose.

Is it bad that I associate this with disney fail videos? That must have been one of the reasons why it closed.

Nah it your opinion. I personally like the Aladdin version more than Frozen version.

- In the Parks
- Yes
It does not.
People enter and exit the park underneath it. It is the park's entry turnstiles located roughly where the CALIFORNIA letters once stood. No bridge.
Me:
Soarin Over California
TOT
Aladdin (You couldn't pay me to watch that Frozen show. Never seen it, no interest to)
I will honestly say though this is about as much as I miss of the old park. I might miss Screaming but won't know until after I ride the new coaster. And none of these are deal breakers but I do think Soarin and TOT added something to the theme that is now missing.

You're thinking of the old red, Golden Gate Bridge replica behind the entrance.

Oh, rip then. Well, the green whatever is still kinda ugly to me.
Also I think I figured out why I like the inspiration more, it's the coloring. It's not as bright as disney's.

Technically the turnstiles are modeled after DHS, which is modeled after Pan Pacific Auditorium

Nope, it doesn’t. It’s not a bridge.

If DHS’ turnstile entrance was an original design, sure. But since it’s not, both entrances are modeled after Pan Pacific and not modeled after each other.

This was by far my favorite thing in DCA 1.0. Was sad to lose it for Buena Vista St. It was one of the few classy, non-tacky kinda things from DCA 1.0, but sadly didn't really fit the new design.

This is the current monorail bridge --
It's modeled after the Glendale-Hyperion bridge --

I know this thread is meant to be sarcastic, but I legit liked Paradise Pier 2.0 (apparently that's an unpopular opinion).
I particularly loved the billboards on the side of the pier as you came down the ramp:
(Something weird I just now noticed looking at this: In the first billboard, the couple in the foreground were changed from white to black at some point...)

That's the bridge they went over in Benny the Cab in Roger Rabbit.
