Even KNOTTS is better than that. I kinda think Sky School could be salvaged by making it more indoor and making the birdies animated, but I think Incredicoaster (feat. Voyd) takes more priority.

Goofy's Sky School should be replaced with something like Crush's Coaster an indoor wild mouse with lighting effects. If not Nemo based, then base it off Coco.

What blows my mind is that Disney seems really inept at something as basic as choosing an off-the-shelf coaster. Even by Wild Mouse standards, Sky School has one of the most boring layouts available, with at least one major dip fewer than 99% of the other models out there. With all the great mini coasters and flat rides available, how the Pier ended up with such a dull, watered-down repetitious line-up of rides is beyond me. Any third grader who's played Roller Coaster Tycoon and visited a county fair could have picked better.
(EDIT)
It's almost as if they shopped at some kind of Thrill Ride Bargain Basement... Wouldn't surprise me at all if that actually turned out to be the case.
The Goofy ride is awesome.

I enjoy it because I like Wild Mouse coasters, but Sky School is probably the weakest, wimpiest Wild Mouse among all the big theme parks in North America. And, no, the plywood cutouts don't make up for that.

We have enough Pixar already. How about Stitch’s Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride?

Hawaiian Roller Coaster....in California Adventure. I'll give you a second to think about it.

Say goodbye to the California theme. Here comes Marvel.

It doesn't have to be Hawaiian. We surf here too. Just put on some Beach Boys and have a party. An indoor Surfing Coaster. I'm surprised they never thought of that. Totally fits California!

However Finding Dory is in Northern California. When we visited the Monterrey Bay Aquarium, we found Gerald's rock!

The only Nemo I'm aware of in the park is TurtleTalk, which is a part of the Animation Building, not a standalone attraction.

They claim the Warehouse Powerplant landed in Disney California Adventure Park (lame, but that's the backstory and why Rocket calls out Disneyland). Incredicoaster is themed to a pierside coaster being rethemed around the superhero team (lame again, but that's Disney's MO right now.)

They really need to just dump the CA pretense that they have no intention of sticking to and change it to a Disney IP movie-based park. Buena Vista Street can still be the Walt-arrives-in-movieland home base. Grizzly Peak can stay the "nice area with good taste" for a while.

At this point, keeping DCA California doesn’t matter to Disney. Take a look at the park.
