What would Disney do with DCA's Expasnion pad if Marvel wasn't an option?

Lol thanks @Pam Hates Penguins
I said this in the other thread but It is kind of interesting to think about. Would they just let it sit ? Maybe. Expand Hollywoodland? Probably not? Expand Bugs land? No way. Some other Pixar IP? An Incredibles E ticket would be cool.
For the Incredibles I could imagine the ride system to either be a standing coaster or some new ride technology almost like a Segway that can fit two rows of 3/4 people per row. I think it would be cool if the ride was seen through Dash's perspective which is why I mentioned those ride systems. Something that really makes you feel like your running really fast. The land itself would probably look somewhat similar to whatever they re planning for Marvel.
Maybe a better idea for DCA would be to use The expansion pad for a proper San Francisco area and the anchor could be a Big Hero 6 attraction. It still gets Marvel into the parks while still feeling "Disney" and actually works with DCA's theme.
My other two ideas I mentioned on the other thread too but they aren't really something I think Disney would do at the present time but what I would want to see. An Aladdin E ticket using Shangai's Peter Pan's ride system and/ or an escape from a Volcano off the coast of California we didn't know existed. I'm not sure what kind of land could be put back there that would allow these attractions to make sense but hey, if mermaids/ monsters/ talking bugs and cars can exist then why not?

The Incredibles ride you talked about. It sounds more like a simulator ride than a standing coaster. I would not want more simulators. Star Tours is more than enough. A stand up coaster would be cool, except when you say, "from Dash's perspective" you have to feel like you're running like him. You're feet would be still...not moving.
A San Francisco/Fransokyo area? Good idea. But I don't know how they could create a Big Hero 6 attraction without some simulator technology.
Yeah. Why not?

Simulators are the easy way out or sometimes necessary to tell the story the best way possible. So far Disney has only used them mostly when really necessary like Star Tours. Just curious, what makes The Incredibles sound more like a simulator than say Indiana jones or RSR?
Also if we want to get as technical as Our feet not moving on the Incredibles Coaster idea, we can find those sort of inconsistencies all over the parks. One off the top of my head... We have no business sitting in the cars in Radiator Springs Racers.
I think Big Hero 6 could be something like Harry Potter Forbidden Journey so your prob right, they would go the simulator route but hopefully pushing the envelope in some way.

Well when I think of super hero attractions, I can't help, but think that's the most appropriate technology.
The Big Hero 6 attraction being something like the Harry Potter ride. I like that idea.

Since they now go by IP success, I would assume it would be Frozen land or now possibly Zootopia. I'd prefer the second.
Personally I want a dark fantasy land with a Malificent castle ride and a dark forest carriage ride. I would have preferred it in DL where SW is going, but I'd take it in DCA.

I feel like there's a lot of the state that's overlooked at DCA. There are 2 volcanoes in Northern California, for instance, and the geothermal wonders that surround them would make for some interesting storytelling (Geyser Mountain?). They touch on this a bit in GRR, but it feels like it could be explored more. Of course the most obvious underrepresented iconic California location in the park is San Francisco.

What!? There are Volcanoes in California? And this whole time every time I mention my volcano idea for DCA I had to back it up with " the volcano we never new existed off the coast of California until the oceans receded/ it erupted / a major earthquake." All this time I could of saved my achy arthritis texting fingers the extra work.

An escape from a volcano ride and a train or minecart ride including a throwback to Rainbow Caverns would be really cool over at the Simba lot. However, I'm thinking if they were going to do a minecart (gold rush ride) that would have went in Grizzly Peak. I know Disney wants to use the Simba lot for another hotel but after SWL and Marvel land are built that's it. We re landlocked. So my point is it's the last nice big area connected to the resort that could be used for an expansion.
Ok well....They ll have the room around the Fantasyland theatre / Toontown but we know that's going to Frozen. Motorboat cruise area would mean a monrorail re route. Autopia may also go for something new but with the new Honda sponsorship I doubt that's happening anytime soon.

It needs it even moreso if TZTOT really ends up being rethemed.
I woudlnt mind your idea taking over the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Just a creepy house in the middle of the woods.

Geyser Mountain was suppose to go in Big Thunder Ranch in 2003 to help counter act the massive success that DCA was to be. It was the same ride mechanism as the TOT. But since DCA was in dire straights, they went with a cheap version of TOT instead. Part of the prep work for Geyser Mountain was to remove Cascade Peak because of sight line issues.

Yup, Mt. Lassen...
...and Mt. Shasta.
There are even some Yellowstone type geysers and bubbling "mud pots" in Lassen Volcanic National Park.
LOL!!

Pretty much, which is hilarious because Monterey is a 2 hour drive from here with no traffic.

Wow those pics are beautful! I need to see more of California. I'm going to Yosemite in August for the first time so that's a start.
