DCA Changed?

I was at DLR recently, and me and my family were talking to a CM. He asked what we had done, and we said we went to DCA, and and came to Disneyland for dinner. So,then the CM said, that in a few years Disney is going to totally fix DCA. They want to push the California theme more and make it more like a 1920ish theme, like when Walt started it all. He said it is supose to be really nice. I wanted to ask him more, but we were on the train and it started to move sooo, of cousre i couldn't ask him more. I was wondering if anyone heard of this. It sounds really cool.

Here are some of the major changes.

  • The sun wheel will become a "mickey" wheel.
  • The orange stinger will be themed like toy story mania.
  • Golden dreams will be transformed into a little mermaid ride.
  • The lake area will become a fireworks show with a full seating area.
  • The entrance will be much like epcots entrance.
  • The titanium sun in the front of DCA as well as the entire entrance will be re-themed as a 1920's theme such as main street with trolly cars.
  • Muppet vision 3D may be demolished.
  • The hyperion theater may be gone as well.


Some of the changes i personally do not like but some of them i can learn to live with. i like the little mermaid ride idea, but im not to keen on the new entrance.
However, as long as they dont make DRASTIC changes to disneyland park itself, im alright.

Disney executives have confirmed a 1 billion dollar (estimated) makeover of Disney's California Adventure. This includes adding many Disney/Pixar based rides such as the rumored "Carsland" with a "Test Track" type of attraction. The first major step in the makeover was the addition of the Toy Story Mania attraction.

There are many rumors circulating about them taking out the golden gate bridge, the California sign in front of the gates and many other changes.

Search any search engine for Imagineer blogs and such to find more.

Yep! There were photos leaked... everything in that park is going to change (except most of the parades and rides) and more stuff is going to be added. For example, Ariel and Cars land.

The Sun Wheel will be Mickey's Fun Wheel
They are redoing the Orange Stinger but no one knows what theme it will be
Golden dreams will be transformed into a little mermaid dark ride.
The lake area will become a fireworks show with a full seating area
The entrance will be much like epcots entrance.
The titanium sun in the front of DCA as well as the entire entrance will be re-themed as a 1920's downtown hollywood theme.
Muppet vision 3D will NOT be demolished. (They were considering putting the 3D show that is in WDW there, but they realized that to do that it would cost them more money to redo the theater than it would to just make a completely new one)
The hyperion theater will NOT leave (they are redoing it to make it more fancy so that they can have real awards ceremonies there. The outside part where you wait will become a lobby)
There will be a new land called Cars Land where they will be creating a ride like autopia but with the Cars characters and it will be the most expensive ride that any theme park has ever made.
The entrance will be pushed out to the CALIFORNIA letters (which will be removed)

I don't see why they would take down the Hyperion- it's already themed to fit Walt's past.

I've heard rumors that the Orange Stinger will be given a makeover to resemble that one classic Disney cartoon...I can't remember
the title of it but it's where they all play in a band. And while I think this would be a great change from the really bland theming of
the Stinger, I've gotta say that the placement of Mickey Mouse's head on the Sun Wheel is an absolutely dreadful idea. And the
name change is even worse....
:\

The Little Mermaid ride sounds great, though! If it's anything like the preview that was on the DVD, it's sure to be a hit.
(Or at least 50 times better than Superstar Limo, at any rate.)

I really hope you mean that DLR was supposed to be a 1920's theme. If you mean more like when Walter started DLR, that's the 1950s :P. If you mean that was the theme of DCA, then Walt was dead by then xD.
