News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[GiveMeTheMusic]

For sheer marketing spectacle SDL wins with its new Toy Story jetliner. Yup, China Eastern Airlines has decked out one its planes in Pixar decor inside and out to promote SDL's new Toy Story Land. And it's, um, really something.

Probably no more than those that ate all the other “garbage” DCA sold previously (or Disneyland or any other theme park).

Believe me, there's no argument about the other junk at DCA.

Get a to-go cup from the Cove Bar. Problem solved.

You mean LaMpLiGhT lOuNgE

I am actually excited to try the new lemon whip.

So it looks like the sunbursts are staying. I guess they are "POW!" bursts now?

They sure are putting a lot of money into marketing both Toy Story lands and Pixar Pier. It's weird because it can't live up to the hype they're creating like at all.

I honestly think this dairy free lemon could be the dole whip of DCA.

If only they'd remove the intentional urine joke association...

It’s a quote from a movie people love... I don’t think anyone cares aside from people on this forum. Lots of issues with this “redo?”, the lemon quote is not one.

My theme park will have cherry soft serve

Cherry soft serve > pineapple soft serve > lemon soft serve

Umm yes please.

*Finally* saw Coco. Cried my eyes out at the end (and at the homeless dog's "promotion"). If Disney ever actually builds a good dark ride based on this film, I (and a lot of other people) could stomach everything else and declare Pixar Pier a worthwhile project. That's a big "if."

It's a tacky reference that didn't need to be made, and it cheapens the park, as does a lot of this project's elements. Disney could build an adjacent stand called "Dug's Dumps" selling overpriced chocolate poop-shaped desserts, and I'm sure a lot of Disney fans would happily fork over cash for it and declare it "magically delicious."

Disney, once upon a time, used to be classier than this. The parks used to encourage people to use the best parts of their minds and carry inspiration and creative sparks with them back into the real world. Disney's taking the low road lately.

Actually, you mean Lasseter’s Lair.

They used to sell realistic looking poop at Disney's Animal Kingdom for guests to buy and eat.

It’s a symptom of Disney’s completely out of control costs. New attractions have to attract far more people than they can even [comfortably] handle otherwise the return on investment doesn’t work.

Disney did briefly sell poop-themed food items at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

No way. Lemon beats out EVERYTHING except chocolate. Chocolate and Lemon are a first-place tag team.

What if it was cherry soft serve intertwined with chocolate soft serve?

That plane is almost as good as the Star Wars droid planes from a few years ago.

The relative speed at which the products were axed gave me a glimmer of hope for the state of AK management.

A solid second place.
