News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[Disney Lover Addie]

I think the Incredicoaster is what will save the Pier from... disappointed fans

 

[TragicMike]

I get not having AA (somewhat) but I expected a better soundtrack. Especially with that awesome Incredibles score!

It’s on the app now.

Just saw Incredicoaster POV: gonna give credit where credit is due, it looked pretty good. An improvement over the unthemed Screamin'. Not really sure why people were expecting dark ride-esque show scenes with full AA's.

I don't think anyone expected full on dark ride type scenes... but still expected better. Static figures, Jack Jack on sticks... honestly I've seen better at Six Flags.

The only thing I honestly expected more on was that Jack Jack on poles bit. I was thinking it was supposed to be Jack Jack popping up and down, teleporting around you. But instead it's just an endless line of babies on pikes. It's very poorly done. I'll take the "unthemed" and "storyless" version of the attraction any day.

Why couldn't this be the area with a bunch of Jack-jacks appearing? Tacked on the existing structure? They might have had to put up some wall to hide it from the guests in line. But that would have been better than impaled babies.

I hope you guys get the chance to check out the Pixar Promenade area as well as the Lamplight Lounge. I know the rest of Pixar Pier is a let down, but these two areas are really nice upgrades. And I think the coaster will be a much better experience at nighttime. Luckily WOC is down for a few more months.... lol.

...With its downscaled version of the chandelier that’s been hanging in the AOA lobby for nearly a decade...



The photos do look nice though.

It’s like they took the cheapness / laziness one step too far and they re not fooling anyone anymore.

This certainly makes TSL look good in Florida.

Will the numerous Jack-Jacks light up at different times at night?

I disagree: It was better as a great, pure, unthemed coaster with very high re-ride-ability. Screamin' was a beautiful, well-paced, unique coaster ride. Now it's junked up with obnoxious, poorly-done, half-baked story elements that aren't very entertaining and must be endured *every* *single* *time* you ride. It's not like Big Thunder, where the sets and effects are all about time, place and atmosphere. This is like being forced through an indoor/outdoor Superstar Limo each time.

Does it matter? The coaster will probably be closed for World of Color for most of the evening.

The score's good--what you can hear of it (to be fair, Screamin' had the same sound issue). That's about the only good thing I can say about this dumpster fire.

I really love these Walt edits, this needs to become a thing more often.

Good thing World of Color will be broken during the summer then!

Not sure if this is the right thread to post, but since it's Pixar related anyway. Here's the new Incredibles float.

 

[Stevek]

Shill vloggers invited to early preview of theme park. Suprisingly they loved it. Seriously, if they say something negative they'll never be invited back.

True, but a couple of the twitter folks I follow and were there do occasionally provide negative commentary...or is it more like constructive criticism.

 

[Disney Irish]

I know that everything is a pun and play on words, so, I'm kinda confused with "pal-a-round"... is it a play on some word or phrase I'm just not getting? I would have guessed that 'pal-a-round' was a play on 'merry go round' which is a carousel, not a a ferris wheel, which is what this ride is.

Its a play on the phrase, "pal around", which means to do something with a friend or group of friends. Its a phrase not really used anymore.

But it didn't always have that issue.

They stuck this horribly tacky sign on the walls surrounding the carousel. No concept art on the walls, no characters, nothing. Just this sign.

To be honest, this sign alone is probably more enjoyable theming than the rest of Pixar Pier. At least it's somewhat clever to theme it as an upcoming "toy" being shipped to the park. It's more creative and effortful than still figures on sticks.

lol. No one likes Toy Story Land. Check.
