News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[mickEblu]

Well i'm still mourning I can't stand mission cheapout.

I hear ya. I still go on it for my thrill fix but it’s not the same.

It's not really "thrilling" anymore, but YMMV. I didn't even feel the drops.

It’s still thrilling but not as thrilling.

YMMV

I'm sorry, I'm bad at abbreviations. What's this mean?

Your Mileage May Vary. It means that you may have a different experience from the person who posted.

Considering it's me, it's a mathematical certainty YMMV.

I think you have a different experience with life than most on the planet. And that is what makes you unique...

I thought you knew by now that Disney likes to advertise in the Bay Area in hopes of getting all the techies to come down...

With a gigantic custom graphic painted on the side of a building? I've seen standard billboards and transit posters, but the scale of this is a first for me. In person it's much bigger than it looks in the photo.

I'll add that the Incredibles 2 advertising blitz hasn't begun yet. This city is going to be buried in Incredibles advertising by the time summer arrives.

Those weird windows on the Burlington are similar to the ones that were on the Back to the Future: The Ride building.

At least we now know where half the budget of Pixar Fest went to...

I can’t believe everyone is talking iconic DCA and no one has mentioned the S.S. Rustworthy.
It’s loss is up there with Captain Hook’s pirate ship.

 

[mickEblu]

Bruh, your the only one that got that.

I know my Bruhs bruh.

It was no Hook's Pirate Ship, but I have to admit the S.S. Rustworthy was one of the only things I liked in DCA 1.0 that wasn't a coaster, flight sim or raft ride. Cute in concept, ok execution. Terrible placement, though. It came across as a heroic-but-doomed attempt to give the Pier character with no backup help whatsoever. The poor thing was literally aground and alone and surrounded by lame garbage.

Yes. I’m Roy E. Disney.

Roy E. Disney spearheaded Fantasia 2000... so your username definitely checks out.

 

[VJ]

Also, guys, slight correction. I've seen you throwing around the word "iconic" as it pertains to 2001 DCA and I think you all mean "ironic". Much better-fitting word. Rolls off the tongue nicely. I suggest wholeheartedly that you use it in place of that other word.

I've never seen this mentioned: Will the white structures supporting Incredicoaster get a much needed fresh coat of white paint? Screamin looked old and dirty last time I saw it.

I always thought I enjoyed the ride itself but then I realized.. once they dropped the haunted hotel theme for a warehouse fortress power plant holding the Guardians of the Galaxy, I now hate absolutely everything about it. Funny how that works.

Have you actually ridden it since the change over?
