News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[Nextinline]

I could see that. With an actual light beam looking over the incoming crowds, it could be a sweet little detail. I would still want it to be a bit better integrated though.

Not just functional, but a Lamp AA could save it from being a tacky add-on.

Maybe the lamp head will turn every couple of minutes....

So PTN returns on 4/13 but the new float won't be added until 6/23? Right.

That's the way its described:

The more time that goes by the more ok I am with California Screamin being rethemed. I think the experience will be plussed, especially if they add a show scene or two. I just can’t get too worked up about a launch coaster with a loop that was supposed to be posing as an old wooden coaster from an old timey Pier. A launch coaster actually makes more sense themed to the Incredibles. Now why their home is attached to a coaster on a pier or why we have a land themed to a movie studios various characters is another story. With that said, what explanation is their for Toy Story Mania? Why do we board these vehicles and play games with the Toy Story characters on what is supposed to be some old timey Pier based in California. Point being, I think we scrutinize anything new with a different set of standards for the attractions that already exist because we tend to accept them after enough time has passed.

But look what they're constructing in Anaheim. More drivel to keep the idiots with their Jack Skellington backpacks happy.

I thought you were excited about the main street/dumbo/small world construction projects? Or maybe that was your famous sarcasm I didn't pick up on?

I'm starting to think of Pixar Pier as Pixar's lousy attempt at a Fantasyland for their studio.

Bingo, but imagine if Fantasyland was called "Disney Forest". And there was a big Mickey Mouse carved into the Matterhorn.

Well Put.

...and if it was nothing but flat rides.

Anyway, It’s less bothersome when you consider what it’s replacing. Which ironically enough, already had a huge Mickey face on the Ferris Wheel.

Oh I'm excited about those. But I look at those more as maintenance projects rather than new additions. BUT maybe if the actual new additions were actually new additions and worth being excited about, I wouldn't have to rely on Dumbo shade to get my gander up.

Hey don’t forget the news of the Parade entrance by IASW shifting 3 feet to the right. That was a real shot of life.

I feel like a crack addict forced to get by on candy cigarettes.

If the Luxo lamp is an AA that would be cool.

Is this the kind of thing you kids have in mind?

With Pixar Place rumored to close when TSL opens, it'll probably be that exact same lamp. You've cracked the case!

edit: Nevermind, that thing is huge.

I don’t get the obsessing over an area that you’re not going to visit. Adding Pixar to the Pier doesn’t change the equation. It merely adds back characters to an area that Disney wants to advertise as if that’s a betrayal.

I don't get obsessing over astronomy if you're never going to step foot on the moon.

Actually thats not that big, its about 3 ft tall. And when you consider the one on the pier will be up high, a larger one makes sense for scale purposes.

Now the only question will be is the sign going to be large enough to house the AA mechanics. If not then I'd say its just going to be a stationary figure or maybe have minimal movement.

Wishful thinking, then.

Wasn’t there a lamp over the new Pixar fun wheel entrance in the original d23 art?
