News Pacific Wharf to be Reimagined into San Fransokyo

[celluloid]

Glad to see DCA is finally getting its own equivalent to New Orleans Square. Just like when New Orleans Square opened in 1966, this will also feature no rides.

The difference there is two attractions were planned for it.

Here there is likely none!

Is it? Genuinely confused as I don't recall
posting in this thread recently. Not sure it was a response to me. Unless I'm not remembering.

edit: Oh yes I did call them out for not accurately casting pacific islanders and having them portrayed in the parks by people of latin american descent, despite being the company of diversity and inclusion. Guess this is deletion worthy on this board? No idea why.

It reached the “political talk” realm. No need to worry about it.

And not a single person insinuated you were racist lmao. Ignore that.

This is maybe the most exciting addition to a theme park in the last decade. No. Last two decades. No. Last centennial!

I strongly feel like this project is, for the most part, a waste of money. Let’s see, though.

The investment will be worth it for all of the Baymax Rice Balls they will sell. Just you wait!

Step into San Fransokyo Square at Disney California Adventure Park, Beginning Summer 2023

At Disney California Adventure park at Disneyland, the transformation of Pacific Wharf to San Fransokyo Square is underway! This new area will be home to exciting new offerings inspired by “Big Hero 6.”

Everything old is new again!

I like it, a small retheme and a baymax meet n greet are fine by me. Now that the concrete footers are done the rest will hopefully go up pretty quickly

Dumb project is still dumb.

And a waste of IP its so bizzare. Also no mention of the Golden Vine Winery area which was already kinda annexed but i just thought this project may have extended over there as well.

Hopped over from the WDW forums to see the reaction to this. Who is this project for? What kid is going to care about being in an area that only kinda looks like Big Hero 6 with no ride and what adult is going to care that this area now looks like an animated movie with no substantial attractions?

It's amazing that they spent money fixing DCA and then continue spending money to destroy what they fixed and make it worse.

 

[Parteecia]

Oh wow well thank you! I missed all of this apparently. That's weird how calling out inaccurate representation can be viewed that way. I think it'd be great to have Pacific Islanders playing their characters in the parks.

Please no. Because I'll have to reiterate that you cannot tell just by looking.

It’s for Disney adults that find Baymax cute and will post the new Baymax snacks on social media

This. This. This.

*sigh*

 

[Animaniac93-98]

It looks like a minimal overlay that doesn't capture the feel of San Fransokyo from the movie; with its towering buildings and animated billboards. The mini bridge and various signage are the only clues as to what the place is supposed to be.

Also, why are they not building the Aunt's Café? That seems like a no brainer.

It’s baffling, they’ll spend millions retheming already popular areas like Paradise pier and Pacific wharf but ignore largely empty and wasted areas like Hollywoodland. It’s a horrible use of resources.

there were major plans for hollywood land but then the eastern gateway project was shelved, im sure they still have major plans for that area though, its clearly the weakest part of the park.

also I think a lot of people love BayMax so a new meet n greet replacing a food truck is cool with me. Im not sure if the BayMax meet n greet is indoors or he comes outside for pics, it looks like it will be an indoor attraction which might be neat cause that building in the concept art is pretty large and could fit a couple sets or 1 large one,

I would be more likely to visit DCA at this point if they were to restore it to its opening day state, Superstar Limo included. All we would lose is Buena Vista Street and Cars Land. Everything else would be gain.

yeah but CarsLand is one of the best lands Disney has ever built so thats losing quite a lot imo. Buena Vista is also a huge improvement but I dont really care about the front end shopping areas that much.

Up next, DCA gets its phase 2 Avengers ride hopefully soon after Hollywoodland gets its expansion and renovation

Cars Land is overrated. Radiator Springs Racers is wonderful, but Cars Land is nothing special. Paradise Pier 2.0 had more charm, frankly.
