News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[TROR]

LOL. Do you realize how insanely tiny the boundaries for these freebie tickets are? This is literally the adjacent neighborhood next to where all the construction is happening for the new parking garage and now the new hotel. I'd imagine it's going to be pretty disruptive there for the next year, so it sounds like Disney is just trying to get in their good graces in order to keep complaints to a minimum (and other city politics reasons that DarkBeer can probably explain better than I) while they start to get a lot more aggressive with construction. See below.... Hilarious you think this is about Pixar Fest.

While you're probably right, it's not a wild conclusion regarding Pixar Fest

Because they mention what's happening at the resort at the time of the letter? C'mon.

 

[smile]

Of course it won't stop them. But it strengthens my belief that these 1 IP lands that are set in an environment that puts the land in direct context of the films is an incredibly weak long term strategy.

working well enough at uni for many years -
what throws me is the pivot taken by the de-facto standard in themed entertainment towards the approach of those it leads

If you need a reminder of how big of a flop Pixar Fest and Pixar Pier is, they're giving away tickets just to fill the parks

I just read that on opening day of Toy Story Land, there was a 3-4 hour wait just to get into the land, and then another 300 minutes to ride Slinky after they made it in.

 

[No Name]

Toy Story Land is a dead end and Slinky has around half the hourly capacity of the Incredicoaster, both of which create a real headache. Nonetheless anyone who is willing to wait that long is worth investigating.

 

[Curious Constance]

Visually, Toy Story Land gives me anxiety as a mom. All those toys thrown everywhere. Imagine the headache of either getting the kids to pick all of that up or doing it yourself.

If Disney can base TSL on the first 3 Toy Story films, why couldn't they base Star Wars Land on the first 3? Yeesh.

Because the first 3 Toy Story films were made (at least in part) by Disney. Same reason why Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is set in the Disney-owned era.

Wonder how @Darkbeer1 feels about this?

I'm not saying that, from what I've seen online, that Pixar Pier isn't a totally underwhelming overlay, but isn't the best judge of whether it's succeeding with the general public or not is to compare before and after wait times?

Proof that Pixar Pier is the work of the devil

The Japanese have a terribly unhealthy obsession with Disney. Children things in general, really. Children, too, actually. Japan's wack.

I guess you aren't familiar with the "Kawaii Culture" in Japan that's been a thing since the 70's.

Wow, this sucks.

It looks better a night.

Same happened when Pandora first opened at AK

I rode the incredicoaster twice yesterday. One time in the very back and the other in the very front. In the back I didn’t even notice the sticks. The jack jacks were almost level with the train (or whatever you call it idk). In the front, it felt like we were going so fast that I didn’t really look at the sticks that hold the Jack Jacks up. The only thing I’m mad at is that there is literally nothing behind the wall of the Pixar Promenade thing — such a waste of space. Oh, and the Jack Jack cookie.... the best thing ever, and it’s warm and fresh.

Only if you wait 15 years or so until Pixar Pier is as old as Paradise Pier was when you're comparing its wait times to a "brand new" experience. Thanks to APs, wait times for anything even remotely new will be through the roof for a good while.

The kawaii versions of Japanese anime characters are hilarious and adorable. Often more appealing than the original character designs. And isn't there a whole kawaii shopping district in Japan somewhere..?

Hey guys its not that bad. Incredicoaster is just like California Screamin but with the incredibles who are good. (this is comin from someone who likes Chicken little as well) are they gonna merge the bugs land with pixar pier?

Are you trying to ruin any credibility you had?

As for your second question, technically yes. They're reskinned Flik's Flyers to be an Inside Out ride. Other than that, no.
