With the news of 3 major rides coming to DCA, it’s finally looking like DCA will be more of a well-rounded park. The park has mainly rethemed and updated rides over the last 12 years which has been a bummer for sure.
The 2009-2012 Billion Dollar overhaul of the park gave DCA more of an identity and more aesthetically pleasing as well.
Here is a timeline of everything that was added to the park between 2009-2012:
2009: Mickey’s Fun Wheel
Rethemed Games of the Boardwalk
2010: World of Color Show
Silly Symphony Swings retheme
Hollywood Backlot and Paradise Pier receive aesthetic changes to fit the 1920’s period
2011: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure
Goofy’s Sky Skool
Paradise Gardens with New restaurants
2012: Radiator Springs
Buena Vista Street
Grizzly River Run gets aesthetic changes to fit the 1920’s period
In total, the park received the Racers E-Ticket, two C-Tickets (Little Mermaid and Flying Tires) and a B-Ticket (Junkyard Jamboree). The park came out more beautiful than ever but the ride roster was still severely lacking IMO.
It begs the question whether 1.1 Billion was enough money for the overhaul considering we only got one major ride out of it. It was rumored that we would get more in Phase 2 of the overhaul but that never happened.
What are you’re thoughts and opinions about the 2009-2012 major overhaul of the park and whether it was enough?
