Disney's California Adventure Project Tracker VI

[EaglesFreak1]

Hey, I Heard A Rumor That Disney Was Developing A Ride On The First Ever Live Action Film By Pixar, "1906", And That They Would Build It In California Adventures, And They Would Only Build It If The Movie Was A Success.

I do have to disagree on the new Soarin' movie. I dont want to bring DCA down or deprive it from getting something new, but I think the California film would fit better in DCA, and send the World film to Epcot. Makes more sense in the theming. Maybe just improve on the California Film, make it clearer brighter....that kind of stuff.

1906 is about the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. It does not even have a set date but about 2012 or 2013. That would be after phase 1 is over in theory. I will wait to see how Newt does.

Other than an ride like the Earthquakes at Universal Studios how could that be a ride. They have not done anything with Wall-E, Up or Ratatouille. Though almost every Pixar movies seems to have at least one ride, restaurant, show or other thing tied to it.

I agree, this may sound crazy but having a new sorin at Epcot would make me more likely to visit WDW then if we also got it here at DCA. Also the theming would be better for both parks. CA in DCA and the World at Epcot.

First off, 1906 is about more than just the earthquake. It involves all San Fransisco and is about the changing of the world. The old world of the barbary pirates and horse drawn carts is coming to an end and a new world is dawning. The ride could focus on the other aspects of the film. Also, Universal has a limited view of an earthquake. A modern special effects show set in a modern subway station. Disney could do something completely different. More of a darkride with the earthquake being the finale of the ride. Your horseless carriage zipping around the buildings as they crumble.

And as for San Fransisco ride ideas, Disney has had them before. For the Amercian Waterfront area of TDS. They wanted a Mr Toad's Wild Ride type attraction where guests would board a car in early San Fransisco and careen through the city. Destroying a fireworks factory in Chinatown, speeding down Lombard Street, and swerving over the boardwalks and piers of the Barbary Coast. Throw an earthquake in there and you have a great DCA attraction, based on a movie or not.

I agree, I would love to see an attraction like this be built in DCA, if the only way they will do it if they can tie it in with the movie, fine. DCA really needs an iconic attraction that supports its theme like this.

Exactly! DCA needs CALIFORNIA. Soarin' over The World isn't about California. Epcot is more about the world.

Word on the street is that Brad Bird's 1906 is only co-financed by Disney/Pixar and Warner Brothers, and will be released and distributed under Warner Brothers Pictures. So one can't really claim this to be Pixar's first live action film. It will be produced by Spring Creek Productions and Warner Brothers Pictures.

If Disney does bring this attraction to a Disney Park, they will have licensing agreements involved. But this doesn't mean it won't happen.

It's hard to believe this rumor to be true since it is so early in the game. The movie is still a ways away and still being rewritten. If there is a lick of truth to this rumor it still isn't certain due to how many other projects are on their way to the Park. What can be assumed is that it is only Blue Sky at this point and an idea proposed for a possible Phase Two project or simply post Phase One. One can only assume this if true.

And if this did find its way out of Blue Sky and into the rumor mill, someone at WDI really has loose lips. It doesn't seem likely it's already making its way out of the early stages of concept design if true. This makes me believe this is simply fabricated or info misinterpreted. But this is only speculation, so who knows. Time to try and push some good info out of some friends.

It wouldn't surprise me if WDI has had some sort of SF ride pitched in various formats over the last 15+ years. It is a natural story line and the SF Earthquake and Fire would make an exciting element.

QUESTION

Since work is supposedly starting on Carsland... do you think the connection between TOT and Bugsland will open first... and do you think the backside of TOT will get an upgrade since guests will see it on a regular basis?

No, and no at least for a long time.

They should make soarin have both the world and california versions as there is two theaters that branch off anyway.

But that would not any thematic sense.

[TrevorD]

I think it could make perfect sence, expecially if it started and ended in Disneyland. They are most likely going to put the new version in by itself in DCA, so I think that this option would be awesome.
