Disney California Adventure Project Tracker XI

Why does everything have to be character oriented? Obviously it's to make the kiddies happy.

To make the Kiddies happy? I am not a 'Kiddie' and I love attractions with my favorite characters in them. I love original attractions too, but I also go to the parks to see my favorite animated characters brought to life.

It's easier to greenlight a ride based on a tried and tested franchise than it is to take a risk and create an entirely new story and set of characters. No, it's not as inventive or imaginative as some of the earlier work. But there's such a huge risk in creating a massive flop that I imagine it's impossible to push a truly original idea through. It seems we get that kind of creativity through the shops and atmospheres of the park expansions.

And on the topic of drugs at Disneyland...honestly I'd rather have happy people (even if artificially) at a big wonderland event than crabby ones. You wonder why raves are popular? Because everyone is happy...otherwise everyone would be sick of each other.

I don't care how much you like electronic music...electronic music for 6 hours alone will get under your skin.

Macro. No offense taken. I've tried three times to get the PM to work (seems to work just fine for messaging others). Bottom line, love your work! Just wanted to give a little background and to say thanks once again for the time and skill you bring to the forum.

Am I the only one worried that an Alice in Wonderland themed party will encourage people to bring hallucinogenics in with them?

Its posts like this why M.C. is SOOOO fun to read!

Dont worry it'll be fine. I'm sure if they werent bringin in the drugs before, they wont start now and the people who always did, well...

Sorry to kill the fun, but it's time to close up shop on this tracker and move on to #12!

Disney California Adventure Project Tracker 12 is now open!

Agreed. You actually have a lot of great points. The whole California-specific thing should be tossed out the window right now, considering Radiator Springs/Carsland is definitely not in the state. I think their original vision for DCA was more aligned with California based attractions, but money makes the world go round.

Radiator Springs is a fiction town placed somewhere around Peach Springs, AZ... However, if anyone else, besides me, has ever had the desire to actually slow down and take Route 66 you would see that From Needles, CA to Barstow, CA is pretty much the same scenery. Needles especially. I can't see why it wouldn't fit in the state.
