The Reboot...



When summer 2012 rolls around, Disney's California Adventure will enter a phase it should have been experiencing a decade earlier...

A year more than that actually. Eleven years it will have taken. But you know what? Not only will DCA be different, but the entire resort will have grown into something much closer to being legitimately called a "resort." If all those extravagant plans for WestCot or even the original plans for Disney's California Adventure had been done then the realization of a true Disney Resort would have been realized by now. But budget cuts and clueless leadership stunted what could've been a great expansion. The resort we were promised never materialized. The one that we see in 2012 won't be exactly like the one proposed, but it'll be extremely closer to that actual realization. Think about it...

It was an interesting and accurate look at where DCA is headed. Nothing really new, but I always appreciate what is posted on Blue Sky Disney.

Thank you Homan.

Fascinating. But I haven't even heard a whisper of the Innoventions E-Ticket he mentioned, and that news probably would have been out by now.

I've heard numerous rumors about that area, my favorite of which is for a time travel themed E-ticket that would use not only the current Innoventions area, but backstage areas behind it.

Re: Disneyland 2012

Of all things I want to happen with the Disneyland Resort, it's a new Tomorrowland. I hope we'll see one as soon as Blue Sky Disney says.

Really?(if so, would you elaborate the that rumor about it? I just never heard it before.)

Re: Disneyland 2012

I want a new Tomorrowland REALLY BADLY! I hope they do the expansion of DCA right, because we will keep coming and cause the suits to think that more expansion (done right) is a good thing!

I really don't know very much about it, other than being time travel themed and being built in an expanded building, all I've really heard is that Tony Baxter has been working on it for some time.

Ok.
I wonder what the rumored attraction will be based on? The late Timekeeper Circlevision show, the rumored "Tomorrowland Movie", the "Meet The Robinsens" movie or something orignal?( I know there must be others, but is what I can think of.)

Re: Disneyland 2012

It dawned on me...
I think we are hearing absolutely nothing about that elusive Tomorrowland makeover for this reason:

Marketing is going to want DCA to have all the attention to paying tourists for a solid year (2012) if not 2 solid years. (2012,2013)

If Disneyland got anything significant in those years .. it would take away paying customers from going to DCA.

They are going to want DCA to get ALL the attention .. and DL will just have to wait after a couple years of heavy promotions to get people to finally come to DCA 2.0!

I think if Tomorrowland is given a rebirth .. I think it will be with a 2014 or 2015 opening .. with construction commencing no earlier than 2012. Because .. if they START construction in 2012, with it boarded up, the sting of not getting on some of your perennial favorites won't be as bad .. because people will have an expanded DCA to enjoy, INSTEAD.

So ... as we here in the internet world hear about new projects about a year or 2 before the rest of the world hears about it .... I predict it will be in 2010, or sometime into 2011 on the net.

So .. here's my prediction:

We'll finally hear something solid about Tomorrowland in about 1 to 1 & 1/2 years from now.

But then why would they be doing Star Tours 2.0? Wouldn't they want to wait on that as well?

Third park already please (cough cough) katella strawberry fields -> westcot + trackless rides + western river expedition + connecting monorail (cough cough) start building it now already!!!

By 2012 I think Disneyland Resort will be the greatest resort in the world. Big words, but I think theyre valld.

Not a chance. Like Disneyland Resort will even come close to the Tokyo Disney Resort. Like we can compete with there three spectacular hotels and DisneySea.

[Bob Weaver]

Re: Disneyland 2012

But they can come close, if they enhance and improve Disneyland and expand it as much as physically possible, turn DCA into an actual theme park instead of a carnival, build a third park at the strawberry fields, then add a water park south of the Disneyland Hotel, and a concert theater somewhere, they would have a world-class destination. Maybe not as good as Tokyo but still good enough to make it not worth even considering going to Tokyo.

Star Tours 2.0 should be part of the overall TL overhaul. I wonder if it may have anything to do with other obligations Lucas' people have for the future ... and it's either now or never (??).

And that makes sense, because the best time to board up Tomorrowland is when DCA is getting all the attention!

Re: Disneyland 2012

I hope that the Golden State area stays exactly like it is......it is nice to walk through that area and have all the trees and Grizzly River surrounding you. Keep the Redwood Creek Challenge as well........kids need a place to run around amongst the trees (God knows that they could use more of those at DCA and in So Cal in general).

Hotels mean nothing to me. While, DisneySea may be a great park, Disneyland will always be the greatest theme park. It is Walt's Disneyland and nothing else can ever come close.

They won't be doing anything with the strawberry field until DCA is functioning successfully.
