News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[Curious Constance]

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)

I'd say somewhere between one and three years.

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

Clearly the budget doesn't have room for a new "Pixar Pal-A-Round" sign.

Spoke too soon

Ok, I just want to comment on this. These are the ones offered in Movie Theaters not Disney Parks.

And the way I understand it, now I could be wrong, but the theater companies offering them pay Disney for the rights to make them.

They are clearly of lesser quality than the ones at Disney Parks.

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



Lol, we need percentages for this too.

Zero sarcasm. The team really has done a great job with the parameters they were forced into.

So they passed Chapeks test then? So since they passed, what happens now, more Pixar Piers? Or he can trust them with bigger projects that have budgets and give them some more creative freedom?

California Screamin' was already fun. Adding show elements was only going to make it a better ride. That was the one thing saving Pixar Pier for me, the fact that we were going to get an enhanced coaster out of it.

 

[TROR]

The only thing I expect from a roller coaster is that it's fun and thrilling so if it hits that then it's a success. I expect a lot more from a story driven roller coaster, however, such as full interior scenes, the track being hidden, not seeing supports, etc. which is why the Incredicoaster feels so weak to me. It's a far cry from Big Thunder Mountain.

Speaking of perameters, is that the reason why the attraction is centered around jack hack and so convoluted?

I’m guessing the “storyline” is what it is to coincide with the sequel release.

It wasn’t a test. Big budget creative strides are going to continue to happen in Asia. Chapek does not care for how expensive SWGE is, and is forcing WDI to make cuts wherever they can as the land progresses.

all things being equal, the mostest synergisterrific! response tends to be the correct one

hmmm... the ol chap likes the idea of content behind a paywall and selling 100 toys from $25 as opposed to $50?

I have no idea what the parameters were, but based on what we're seeing it's apparent the designers had their hands tied. From a creative perspective, and excluding IP overload, and keeping in mind I haven't seen PP in person, I'd rate this as infinitely better than TL '98, but far short of the Fantasyland redo in '82.

Well, the parameters were to force a Pixar film storyline onto Screamin' on a shoestring budget. They did that, and again, let me stress to you that this experience will be superior at night.

Funny considering it closes at night when WOC is going.

I got to say, but after seeing most of the buildings finish up construction, I really like the new architecture of most of the pier. I actually like the Pixar Promenade, the Incredicoaster area, the entrance area. I like the new color schemes too. The only architecture I hate is the stuff still, after 2 overhauls, from DCA 2001 (Fun Wheel cover and Critter Carousel). And also hate the names and the overall "theme" of the land.

 

[vancee]

I went today. It actually looks really nice in person. Also. I got to see FreshBaked Dave and his curly hair friend pass me.... dream come true!!!!

 

[disneyC97]

Am I correct that the wheel did get an impressive new marquee? (But the same awkward shade structure behind)

 

[PB Watermelon]

Nope.

Here's a video of what it was supposed to be:

That was a proposal, and you can find it on the old Platinum DVD release of The Little Mermaid. I think it's misleading to say that proof-of-concept video was what the ride was supposed to be, just what it could be.

That popcorn bucket is dangerously close to midlypenis Reddit material.
