Challenge 2
Disney California Adventure
Imagineers! You have just completed your first visit to Disneyland. Now it’s time to visit its semi-ugly counterpart, Disney California Adventure. Here you can take a journey around the world, venture into Grizzly River Run, and become a movie star!
-Background Information-
If you didn’t know, Disney California Adventure opened in 2001, and was an immediate flop. It was unlike Disney to build a “hip” and “cool” park. There was no story to it, and the entrance was a big… postcard.
However, one land let you become a “moviestar”, and that was Hollywood Pictures Backlot. In the backlot, you could race from the airport and escape paparazzi to get to your debut movie premiere in Superstar Limo, learn how to draw your favorite Disney Characters, or dine inside your favorite soap-opera.
In 2007 with the announced $1.2 billion expansion project, the Hollywood Pictures Backlot was supposed to get a massive overhaul, bringing new attractions like Toy Story: The Musical, Mickey’s Philharmagic and more to this land. In addition, the Buena Vista Street facades were supposed to continue all the way down to Tower of Terror, bringing the Golden Age of Hollywood to the backlot.
Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, this idea was scrapped and the only Golden Age of Hollywood part is the Red Car Trolley.
Nowadays, this land is called Hollywoodland. It features many vacant buildings with nothing major going on in the land. It's the land most people who visit Disney California Adventure rarely step in.
-Challenge-
Since all the lands in Disney California Adventure got their makeover in 2012 or 2015, it’s time to give Hollywoodland its much needed makeover. We know that Paradise Pier is undoing their whole makeover, but that’s not the point
.
Since the lands are receiving upgrades, refurbish Hollywoodland and make a park jewel! Make it something people flock to go to. Add a ride… or two, and add restaurants and/or shops. Give new facades, knock some buildings down. Whatever! Reinvent this land while including the golden age of California represented.
-Bonus-
After Mad T Party closed, DCA has been lacking some nighttime entertainment. Sure there is World of Color and soon to be Paint the Night, but still something is missing. Add a nighttime experience like Mad T Party anywhere in DCA to be added for Pixar Fest. Breathe some life into this experience and bring the young adult crowd into DCA at night. Complete in one sentence and earn that extra point!
-Rules-
You may use between 1 and 5 sentences and up to 1 image. It’s an entire land you are going to need all the sentences you can get!
