What's going on with World of Color?

[truecoat]

i am going to peg late 2022-mid 2023 as to when WOC will return. I wonder what they will do for nighttime entertainment at DCA in the meantime while this is down.

Who stays that long?

Dang.. that looks like a lot of work. My random guess is that they're making platforms that are going to be very close to the surface of the water so they can walk to the projection / light booths to clean them rather than having to use boats (might also be helpful to assist with Winter Dreams, in which they place more floating barges for more lighting). Total guess. I would be extremely surprised if this happened to be any new technical features other than replacements for the booths.

I think they are just building temporary scaffolding platforms so it's easy to walk over to the new structures they are building, and get equipment to them etc. None of that looks permanent to me, just being used as a way to get to the structures they are building.

That Paradise Bay is quite an eyesore right now. Almost not even worth walking back there. But I will anyway because it’s been a while since I have rode Incredicoaster and TSMM.

You're probably right. I would just throw out my speculation but I think it's too early to know. A lot of construction starts with scaffolding holding things up to a precise level until something below can support it (i.e. they pour concrete and it cures, etc.). I'm no expert but I guess we'll find out soon enough

Apparently water is starting to enter the bay / lagoon.

Thank God. That was an eyesore if there ever was one

I am trying to find photo evidence, just have one anecdotal post to go off of. We shall see.

It also smells. It smells faintly, but it definitely smells faintly of mold and putrid remnants of water puddles.

Oh that’s just because they take the dirty carnival theming very seriously.

I saw a picture on twitter. I'll see if I can find it.

In the new Disney Parks Blog post, they mention World of Color returning in "Spring".

"You also will be thrilled to gather around Paradise Bay at Disney California Adventure park this spring to enjoy “World of Color,” a unique combination of music, fire, fog and laser effects, with Disney animation projected on an immense screen of water."
