News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Commence with the embarrassing vlogs.

The name change remains totally and unnecessarily restrictive.

Fantasyland is not called Walt Disney Animation Studios Land for good reason, because Disney is in the business of operating theme parks. And the theme is in no way the name of the studio that created an IP that's then used for a theme park attraction with a different setting, storyline, message, etc. There is no connection. Furthermore, 99% of people do not know nor care whether something is Disney or Pixar outside of the circle 7 franchises. There is negligible difference in the final product, and again, much less its adaptation to a theme park attraction. Hopefully one day the name Paradise Pier returns.

They really just should've kept that land as Paradise Pier considering theres now a separate land that is also a pier...and also contains pier attractions

I couldn't agree more. And who could argue.

It looked better before the change.

Ya happy now, moron Disney execs? Are you actually proud that you spend that much on so little? And now you're going to promote the hell out of it as a new experience. Is this new Disney all about Smoke and Mirrors? Is pulling the wool over the GP's eyes your top priority now?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (waves Old Man Cane around and kicks stockholder booklet across floor).

I think some of the lighting package isn't on yet in those photo's.

In fact about half of it is noticeably turned off.

I liked it better when the scream tubes disappeared at night instead of being called attention to

The problem is this is totally the inverse right now, which exaggerates the difference. There is no lighting package on 2/3rds of the roller coaster steel, Mickey is off and the entirety of the boardwalk is off. The lamplight lounge doesn't have all the pergola lighting on either.

So ya it definitely looks way worse, but it's also not on.

Hands down the stupidest, most unnecessary, un-asked-for waste of funds in DLR's history.

Actually I think that distinction goes to Rocket Rods...

Fully closed tube...

NOT fully closed tube...

...sure, why not?

The red lights at night look creepy.

Okay the site that can't be named or linked to has a shot of TSMM on Twitter that shows the new churro cart outside it. Someone had thought it must be delayed as Bugs Land's churro cart was still in operation, but they made a new one.

Edit:

Can see it in this shot posted above.

I dont see how they look at that and think it looks welcoming.

Shush. I’m not TROR.

Should I watch the ride through or wait until I experience it myself in the summer? I'd like to complain early so I'm the first one to explain why it sucks.

Can I pre-warn you in gif form??? Ok, here goes.

OK, its not really poop. But it isn't winning any awards or accolades from me.

This might be the world's most "OK-est" overlay. The best thing that I personally can say about it is that they have appeared to finish it on time.

Of course, there's still the non-fully enclosed tube head scratchers...but...you know what? I don't care. I'm not going to ride it anyways.
