Disney California Adventure? That's it? That's the best ya got? Oh, that sucks.

Never heard anything but people ripping on it, saying it was the worst land at DCA even after the overhaul etc.

That's sad, but I can understand why. It's thematically great, but ride wise it's not very great. I mean if disney really wanted to step up their game for all of dca, they should've included more new rides and have not just rethemed DCA 1.0's stuff. Pixar pier has the same disappointment factor to it, when I first heard the news, I was expecting it to take up the entirety of the pier and to have at least one new dark ride or e-ticket. Though if we were going rides only, I think hollywoodland is worse.

That's ridiculous. The worst land in DCA since the remodel is Hollywood Land. Now it's even worse without any good attractions. At least Pixar Pier has some nice architecture in it. In Hollywood Land everything is ugly and fake.

The only three things that people go to Hollywood Land for is GOTG:MB, The Art of Animation classes, and maybe Monsters Inc. They should do a remodel on the land.

Three things that all suck. Art of Animation is actually fine but its exterior is atrocious. I mean, what were they thinking? And it hasn't changed since 2001! DCA needs a complete remodel. Hope they do that in 11 years and then undo it 5 years later.

I think it's telling the first thing people thought of as a good place for marvel land to be in was hollywood land, not bug's land or any of the other lands in dca.

It has a nice early 00s charm to it, but that is all it has going for it.Three things that all suck. Art of Animation is actually fine but its exterior is atrocious. I mean, what were they thinking?

Same with Tomorrowland. Both disgusting messes that need near complete overhauls, not a bunch of junk thrown at them.

I agree. Bugs land is one of the only places in DCA where parents can take their kids to ride rides.

Which is more of a flaw of DCA than a strength of Bug's Land. DCA needs attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and classic Fantasyland dark rides. I've said so many times how beneficial a Mulan dark ride in Pacific Wharf would be to that park. The only people who I've ever seen reject it are those who don't understand theme park theming. I know The Little Mermaid isn't that popular, but it was a huge step in the right direction for DCA.

I think this is an amazing idea! Maybe Disney will consider this when the new live action Mulan will come out.

Excuse you! That is the absolute highest quality in LED electronic scrolling billboards the world has ever seen! Disney took a research trip all the way to the far-off land of Hollywood, CA so that they could get the intricate details of the LED electronic scrolling billboards just right for Disney's California Adventure.
How dare you desecrate all that Walt built. How dare you desecrate the work of the exalted Walt Disney Imagineering team that built this glorious shrine to the Hollywood that never was and always will be.

Call me crazy, but I've always loved the Animation facade. It's whimsical, different, interesting - all qualities missing from most of DCA in 2001.

Yes, it's like how I failed to recognize the true beauty that is the incredicoaster until it was too late. I'm now vapor

Ok, I'll bite... How does Mulan fit into Pacific Wharf? Only connection to China I can think of is there's a Chinese quick service place there.
