News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[Rich T]

I enjoy Knotts and are starting to like it more and more but honestly the boardwalk area in Knotts is terrible. It is just one huge area of concrete with a large pool with spinners plopped in the middle.

The lack of greenery makes it look worse.

The new coaster has some nice simple garden areas but it is still just a large coaster plopped over the concrete queue of endless switchbacks. The loading area is nothing special. It’s just an open air coaster loading platform with a covering right next to a large building with a mural.
In other words it’s pretty much what Screamin looked like.

The one huge difference is that DCA boardwalk actually has lots of structures within a compact area which makes the place feel a bit more like a boardwalk.

Knotts really needs to think about a more diverse roster of rides for the boardwalk area that would better use that piece of land

I agree that area needs improvement, and I hope something major's in the works. I do think the Wild Mouse and Spinners are just place-holders for a larger project; they were a quick replacement for the big Splashdown ride that had to go.

I'm still not letting Disney off the hook for keeping Screamin's brake run the ugliest ride section in any Disney park when ANY kind of simple props (surfboards, facades) would have fixed the issue with very little effort. 15 years of ugly!!!!

Never been to NY so I’ll take your word for it!

My dad is from Brooklyn. Went to visit some family a few years ago and wanted the New York experience. My cousin told me not to buy one, but I did anyway. They put pork and beans on the hot dog. Took one bite and threw it in the next trash can I saw.

Sometimes we should listen to our family members.

I remember getting some tacos one night and met a lady from New York. She said our street dogs (the bacon-wrapped hot dogs) didn’t compare to the street ones in New York, and I wanted to laugh in her face.

Looks like my DCA boycott is going to be put on hold, lads. Just got two free park hoppers (they're good for anywhere but no one will go to Paris with me) so it looks like I'll be able to experience the all new Pixar Pier and Mission Breakout this summer. Then I can criticize it and no one can argue with me because I'll have real first hand experience.

I want you to Facebook livestream your face while on GOTG:MB please, thanks.

Disney's California Adventure is a wonderful experience. The intent is to provide you with a sense of pride and accomplishment after you save the Guardians of the Galaxy in the brand new critically acclaimed Guardians of the Galaxy, Mission Breakout Attraction.

I love this shade of blue they went with. Score 1 for marketing.

 

[TROR]

Love that paint scheme for Toy Story Midway Mania! Hope it looks like that when I go visit the all new Pixar Pier!

 

[shortstop]

well... it is what it is...

Also, if it wasn’t already clear that Pixar Pier is just an unfortunate ad for Incredibles 2...

 

[mickEblu]

it's too iconic though to not have at least once.

But yea I go to NYC every weekend, don't recommend it more than once in your life...

Oh I’m definitely going at least once and will try a dog but mostly pizza.

Pork and beans on a hot dog? Yuck? That’s not the typical NY dog is it?

The Parks Blog has posted the first images of the Edna Mode character who will make appearances on the Pier this summer. While I had hoped for a free-roaming sassy face character who could work the crowd similar Cruella de Ville, it looks like we're getting a rubberhead who is more suited for yet another forgettable queued photo op.

The text also included this little morsel:
Just in time for the opening of “Incredibles 2” in theaters on June 15, Edna will be jetting over to greet guests at Disney California Adventure park at the Disneyland Resort as part of the first-ever Pixar Fest.

Which of course means they already have plans to run this promotion again. I can't wait to see Pixar Fest 2: Electric Boogaloo!
