Team C Presents: San Francisco - A New Paradise Bay Expansion
San Francisco is a city that exists in California. While most of DCA either represents the redwoods of NorCal or the beaches and Hollywood vistas of SoCal, this city is a legendary example of a location that's never had much representation in the park until now. Taking over the entire post-Pixar Pier side of Paradise Pier starting from Emotional Whirlwind and ending at World of Color, San Francisco promises several different flavors of the city by the bay wrapped into one awesome land.
Inside Out Gardens
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/8339225/shutterstock_610336088.jpg)
Bewilder in the emotive & inspiring Inside Out Gardens, a colorful abstract garden home to striking sculpture, dancing waterworks, and the capacity for our deepest thoughts and most wide-ranging emotions. Or, to disambiguate, I opened the thesaurus for this one.
The garden is centered around five colorful sculptures, each thematically tied to the emotion their color represents: red is anger, yellow joy, green disgust, blue sadness, and purple our deepest fears. For example, the red sculpture (anger) is boldly geometric, while the yellow sculpture (joy) is flowing and lively. By unifying the sculptures adorning the garden, we can bask in a unitary celebration of what these emotions represent: for, as Riley learned in the film, each of our many emotions serves us a much-needed purpose in our lives, one incomplete without the others.
The garden is structured around organic, fluid paths, much like our own emotions. Near the front of the garden's Pixar Pier entrance is a stone-and-marble colored-water-fountain, warmly welcoming us to the plaza. Statues of Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger, and Fear pose in accordance to their respective names. Around the five emotions, the fountain springs alternate amongst the five colors denominating the emotions of Inside Out, with each color reacting accordingly -- Anger strikes loud and bold jet streams, Joy trumpets of excitable energy, and Sadness bursting streams downward, like rivers of tears dancing down the spring path.
Also dotting the organic plain are a series of colored spheres resembling the "core memories" of Inside Out. These small, plastic-ball-like sculptures can, like the greater sculptures, be climbed, jumped, and explored by younger guests, while parents seize the moment for a much-needed rest beside shady trees.
Along the edge of the gardens rests Riley's Pizzeria, an amiable pizzeria that is in many ways only an extension of the gardens it borders. The pizzeria is an excellent opportunity to sit among the gardens, with its counter-service and open-floorplan design inviting all who stop for a visit. The Pizzeria, a byproduct of Riley's imaginary "ideal pizzeria" replaces the dull "broccoli-only" pizzeria with a menu for anyone's favorite a possibility -- featuring rather than one every possible combination one could imagine. From classic staples (Pepperoni!) to controversial comforts (Pineapple?) if you can dream it, you can have it! Because if it's not on the dozen pre-made specials, pizza lovers can create their own custom pie from the multitudes of possible toppings and combos -- simply say the words, pay our bill, and your dream will come true!
In summarization, the bountiful Inside Out Gardens and adjoining Riley's Pizzeria will make for a wonderful transition between Disney California Adventure's "Pixar Pier" and new "San Francisco" themed lands. We look forward to your visit!
Chinatown
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/55944871/shutterstock_1006629742.14.jpg)
Silly Symphony Swings will be removed from the pier to make way for the iconic dragon gates entrance into San Francisco's Chinatown. This area will be the main heart of the SF expansion featuring both World Showcase style adventures in shopping and dining as well as a paper lanterns flat ride and the Fireworks Factory coaster. Wandering this new area should give you a feeling of authenticity and rich cultural heritage. The Dragon's Teahouse will be a table service with five central areas of a central room along one main stage, Fire, Wood, Metal, Water, and Earth. These all have colors and props to accentuate the elemental theme. Every 20 minutes there is an AA show featuring Master Kong, best known to westerners as Confucius, a Living Character able to answer questions and enlighten these hungry and weary travelers. The variety of dishes areas mentioned, dim sum, small appetizer-sized dishes like soup dumplings and spare ribs, all washed down with tea, be it iced or hot.
There will also be a Joy of Tea like cart called the Lucky Cricket with a very loose Mulan thee and color scheme, reds and blues, and a small motion AA Cri-Kee in a cage hanging from the kitchen inside the cart. This will mostly serve boba teas and snacks like pork buns and mooncakes, stuff that's easy to prep/keep warm. As part of the Chinatown section, the old Jumpin' Jellyfish ride will be retheme to the iconic Chinese Lantern. The queue and ride are now set in a small Chinese garden that lie behind a row of small storefronts, with the vehicles resembling lanterns while the towers are inspired by Chinese pagodas. The storefronts, aside from helping maintaining the Chinatown theming by partially hiding the ride without comprising the view from the top, also function as store booths, selling traditional Chinese goods. To accommodate this with taking too much walking space, the ride and queue will be moved closer to the water, taking up the space formally occupied by the faux beach theming.
Fireworks Factory
Nestled in the corner of Chinatown is a rather ominous and shady looking pagoda structure that houses the infamous Fireworks Factory. This is a very simple indoor spinning wild mouse replacing Goofy's Sky School. Guests come face to face with a number of practical effects including spinning pinwheels and whizzing sparklers. The track design is a very basic out and back with the experience essentially feeling like a more souped up and Disney-fied version of the Dark Knight coasters at Six Flags parks where it's a wild mouse in a box with fun special effects along the way. The Fireworks Factory promises to be a low key but worthy anchor to the Chinatown attraction roster.
The World of Color viewing area will be rethemed and renamed in honor of Crissy Field, the famous patch of lawn which a World's Fair once stood and which still offers some of the best views of Alcatraz in the real city. Finally at the end of the pier in the site formerly home to Ariel's Undersea Adventure is 1906, a grand new dark ride in the Marc Davis style that aims to showcase in a slightly tongue and cheek way the epic scale of the disaster that went down during the great quake. Set in a faux exterior of the Legion of Honor museum, 1906 (VERY loosely based on what would have been Pixar's scrapped first live action project) takes you from a museum exhibit showcasing the earthquake in the queue to living out the event on the ride.
The ride track and layout is actually left over from Mermaid to save money, though the cars will be souped up to now be chains of cable cars fitting 4-6 people per car. This means less overall cars on the Omnimover chain but greater overall capacity compared to the classic clamshells. The ride begins by taking you underneath the museum and seeing the bowels of the city being shaken to their very foundation, to the point where the opening scene makes it pretty clear the very building were under is threatening to topple over any minute.
The Under the Sea room is now themed to Golden Gate Park and all the mass chaos of the quake. Hot dog stands and balloon carts have been toppled over, dogs have escaped their owners and are barking in unison, the very floor beneath us is starting to crack as park goers scramble to make sense of the destruction. The room formally occupied by Ursula now features a row of famous hillside SF houses all toppling in on each other, and threatening to topple on to us in the process. In the former Kiss the Girl room we see even more destruction as a forced perspective Golden Gate Bridge shakes in the distance in our fake view of they bay, roughly from Crissy Field.
The final room is the Palace of Fine Arts, a famously untouched landmark through all the destruction...or at least the iconic dome that's still standing to this day. In this scene we see the palace on fire using dramatic Pirates style lighting and fans. Firefighters are desperately trying to put out the flames. Meanwhile we see other citizens of SF like doctors and veterinarians tending to the injured people and animals underneath the dome, the dome itself being a symbol of hope and rebirth among the carnage. Overall 1906 promises to be a very solid original D-Ticket adventure that will feel much more in place within the park than Mermaid ever did.
