News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[Deleted member 107043]

Its such a toss up of good, decent, and bad ideas its almost like having Paradise Pier 1.0 again

Exactly.

Incredicoaster is going to be really fun. The coaster itself is already fun, and the show elements are great for a coaster where you're going so fast you'll barely be able to see them anyway.

Ride it at night.

It's weird how much of a blend of good and awful this change is.

This new popcorn bucket is phenomenal. I expect you'll be getting one, @mickEblu, right?

Anyone who's urine is that shade of yellow should probably see a doctor.

Now, you know darn well what I mean and the cheap pee gag the whole stand is built around.

Egad. This should be in the next Poltergeist movie.

Lol. Nah I’m good. Not even the free refills would make me want that. I do like that it’s very Chucky-esque though.

Take off that mask, leave it in the sun for a day or two, and age it 60 years and you have the spitting image of Trump.

That Dash popcorn bucket really shows the level of care that they're putting into merchandise. I mean, come on. It looks horrible. Why didn't they do an Eve popcorn bucket? Or if they insist on the Incredibles and a head, they should have done Jack Jack, since his face is round.

Saw Incredibles 2 last night and it was awesome. A lot of laughs and like all Pixar films a lot of heart. Hopefully this along with Coco steer Pixar back on track to being the best animation studio in the world.

Plus it's killing it at the box office:

Walt Disney and Pixar’s Incredibles 2 just broke its first box office record, earning a dynamite $18.50 million in Thursday night previews. That bests the old record for an animated film, namely the $9.2m Thursday preview launch of Walt Disney and Pixar’s Finding Dory in 2016 (and the $6.2m Thursday launch of Minions three years ago). Barring some unusual frontloading, especially for an animated movie, it is now almost certain that Brad Bird’s 14-years-in-the-making superhero sequel will snag the record for a Fri-Sun animated launch.

Good to hear! Something has to take the stink off of Solo. Will be watching it this weekend.

Probably not as marketable, but I think the robot from the first movie would've been a great popcorn bucket.

Jack Jack gets more focus in the new film than Dash does. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a huge demand for Jack Jack stuff now.

But yeah, Eve definitely isn't as popular- a decade old character for a film that isn't as merchandised.

I know this will probably sound like a typical Disneyland fan nit-picking minor details of an IP change, but I'm really going to miss the billboards along the wall as you come down into the pier (the ones whose replacements were shown today). I hope they were preserved somewhere.

I'm now picturing a gaggle of large mouse-ear wearing Disney fans wolfing down popcorn they're grabbing in fistfulls from plastic baby-heads. I won't sleep tonight.

I'm already cringing at the thought of having to hear baby cackle on the Incredicoaster as Jack Jack evades everyone's attempts at capturing him.

Luckily, I won't be back to the resort for likely a long time.

Okay this is the second thing that has terrified me today. I saw a recent picture of Johnny Depp earlier today. Egads.

my ten year old's opinion of the popcorn bucket, "It's Incredibly terrifying"
I mean come on? How does any other kid have a chance of measuring up to that?

I honestly cannot tell the enthusiasm sarcasm breakdown of this post. I need percentages!

Lol, we need percentages for this too.

Define long time...

-Like a long time for an APer? (3-4 months)
-A long time for an addict in the catchment? (1-2 years)
-A long time for someone who tries to deny their addiction? (3-5 years)
-A long time for someone normal? (6-12 years)

Disney needs to update their meet & greet Incredibles to look like this.

But how are they going to update Mr Incredible?

Spoke too soon
