News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[No Name]

Perhaps. I'm struggling to understand how that's possible though with Pixar characters existing in "neighborhoods". Maybe I'm over-thinking it, but from what I've seen in the concept art the Pixar + pier and supporting storytelling (theming) is confusing me.

I agree.

The only crappy story that makes sense to me is this: The fictional company running the pier thinks they can be more successful, so they slap on characters and branding in places they make no sense, with the hope of increasing profits. Well isn't that ironic? This fictional company is behaving more like a local amusement park than the world leader in theme parks!

I doubt that's official now. It still has the you-know-what image on the top, the thing that Hans claims he can't see. I doubt we'll ever see that again in any official capacity.

It's on the new "man presenting his " wall, so they seem to be sticking with it, no? Without the ball below the PP it looks fine.

I haven't seen this talked about, but not having anything above the loop makes it look really boring. The original California Screamin' had the Mickey ears, 2010 had "PARADISE PIER" written across it, but the Incredicoaster has just empty space.

Exactly. Why not replace the Paradise Pier sign with a Pixar Pier sign, and that circle sun with the Pixar ball? It seems so obvious.

I just hope this is the last major redesign of the area for at least 10-15 years.

I'd be fine with another if it's to fix this mess.

It's kind of mystifying why they didn't just replace "Paradise" with "Pixar" above the loop.

The signage is one piece. "Paradise" and "Pier" are connected.

They could just replace the whole sign with one that says Pixar Pier. Is that above their budget?

OK, but they still could have just put a new sign that said Pixar Pier instead of leaving it empty.

Let's not lose site of the fact that a drunk, groper came up with this idea in the first place. The less it makes sense, the more it makes sense when you think about it.

Or they could have left it Paradise Pier and just given the various facilities the Pixar overlays they’re getting.

Don't click. It's a snip, not a video.

Here he is at a party/event. Looks a little camera shy. The guy on the left must be one of those handlers they had to hire to follow him around and make sure he didn't sexually assault anyone.

Wonder what's got him so excited in this pic?

Well that's easy.

Too late!!

Wow. This thread already gave us the text for the Pixar Pier dedication plaque, and now we have the official cutesy tagline for Pixar Pier, with just a few tweaks if it's okay with Constance and Walt...

"I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing, that it was all started by a drunk groper."

I'm really starting to look forward to this summer!

Is the Cove Bar going to be renamed "Lasseter's"? Grab yourself a drink, and maybe a little more!

The incredibles logo and the ball both fit in a round frame. It seems odd to squeeze text within the circle in the loop. What once was a mickey head and then a sun/game target is now a graphic design problem. I agree that the words belong outside the ball, as the detail and text wont be legible from veryfar if they go this route, and suddenly the circle is devoid of any meaning. Can it not be either a ball or incredibles logo, with pixar pier above? And yup, the dead horse; paradise pier could have had tons of pixar injected and no name change. Here’s to hoping this is phase one and that inside out or up get real dark rides. Buzz in tomorrowland and monsters inc in tokyo are both game attractions, and would make pixar pier a legitimate counterweight to fantasyland if all in one compelling location.

Looking at the concept art on the construction walls looks like the theatre is not happening. It says “Pixar Promenade” and the arch leads to a wall...
