News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[Kram Sacul]

Yes. But putting neon lights on the Lamplight Lounge sign is going to ruin the entrance area. The entire entrance area has popcorn lighting. A giant neon sign plopped on a wall wouldn't look good with all the popcorn lighting around it. Even the Knick Knack's store across the way has popcorn lighting. The neon sign would stick out like a sore thumb. Not to mention the fact that neon signs look like crap from close up.

That entire area looks like rushed and poorly thought out garbage. A neon sign isn’t going to damage the integrity.

Yes but why ruin the only well done part of Pixar Pier with something as little as a neon sign when you can just get a new sign.

Has anyone else noticed that this flurry of improvements and last pieces started occurring after October 1, allowing them to spread budget over multiple quarters?

So, you're saying there is now going to be an influx of new capex to take the whole land to the next level?

Just from that one photo of the wrapped lamp, I already think it looks better without it.

A Victorian style pier sign with beautiful lettering, and a desk lamp.

The mini ball underneath it was more then enough. Subtle and distinctly Pixar.

All I want to know is the lamp going to move around or not. After all this time it better.

DCA opened about 30 minutes ago! Any updates of Luxo???

The lamp will sing turn of the 20th century ragtime songs with a marvelous dance routine. Unfortunately it’ll only work if nobody is around to see it. Disney management is planning to toss it in a box for 60 years and hope it will work in time for DCA’s 77th anniversary.

Fixed it for you.

As someone who had the opportunity to tour the place, I wish they would build a replica of the massive lamp at the actual studio.

(Yes, that's me when I was much, much younger.)

On the one hand, I really like the depth that the neon lettering added to the sign, but on the other hand, it adds even more thematic inconsistencies in an area already riddled with them.

On another note, I don’t like the addition of Luxo to the main entrance sign. He/She/It/Whatever is already on the Lamplight Lounge sign.

I was finally able to experience Pixar Pier. I actually didn't mind the Incredicoaster as much as I feared I would. I think the fact that the ride is a self-aware rebranding really helps it. That being said, it is still said that this is the best Disney was able to do with the IP. The attraction will have zero staying power. Jack Jack on a stick was probably the most cringe-worthy part, but I also noticed the old California Screamin safety text peeking through the pasted over Incredicoaster signs. The lack of attention to detail is extremely disappointing!

What else is new?

Management & imagineering look over these threads right? Cause they have a lot of homework to do.

Experience was an interesting choice of words.

I think "endure" would have been far more fitting.

The lamp will be like the Chuck Jones singing frog. One workman at night will be the only one it will perform for.
