I hope WDI is going to be a little more creative than oversized screws and "cardboard toy boxes" for walls a la Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. If I see oversized screws anywhere in Midway Mania trying to be passed off as clever, quality theming, then they better have lots custodial CMs staffed on Paradise Pier to clean up my projectile vomiting.

And simplistic primary color-painted toy blocks better not be overused, either.

The queue will wrp around the front area of the building as well as use part of the old midway games that were closed.

i would no judge the attractions theming until all has been done.

Mermaid will be very elaborate but Midway will also be a step up from what is already in DCA.
Baloo,What kind of impact do you think Midway Mania will have on DCAs attendence numbers? do you think it will do more than Monsters Inc did for DCA?

DCA is supposedly walling up the rest of the midway tomorrow from the carousel to the sun wheel. Thats what I've been hearing.

Awesome!

I am really curious as to what they are going to do with that area,I am hoping they replace all those ugly turquoise lampposts they have in that area.Id love to see some period lampposts maybe similar to whats on Main st.

Re: Disney's California Adventure Project Tracker

Well actually now i've just been informed (like within the minute i am posting this) that because of the crummy weather the walls might be pushed back till the weather clears up and everything drys up. Bummer, but at least we know the big revamp will begin VERY soon.

I do believe that Midway will help attendance at DCA. That in combination with the new parade should help this year.

Also remember that when Monsters Inc opened the advertising was minimal and basically promoted as part of the 50th anniversary.


Midway and Pixar play will be heavily promoted

Thats good,I never really liked the fact that Monsters Inc didnt get its own promotion. Its a great ride and deserved more than what it got.

Re: Disney's California Adventure Project Tracker

I was just at DCA today and the pier is looking great. I'm just bummed that the expansion of Carsland looks to be backing up against the wharf...that area is really great thematically and needs one solid ride to anchor it. I was hoping for the oft-rumored incredibles coaster eventually, but I'm not holding my breath.

So this "walling of the midway" is the refub of the WHOLE midway and pier area of the park? I forget, what else is happening here?

Re: Disney's California Adventure Project Tracker

Growing pains...worth it but still a pain. I hope not too many people get upset with having to walk ALL THE WAY around Paradise Bay to get to California Screamin from the west side of the Pier with that wall blocking traffic between Carousel and Sun Wheel.

They will be closing the walk way, but only working be working on the Midway. They are also going to keep the carousel and sun wheel open, so don't expect the sun wheel to be re-themed until before the holiday season.

Re: Disney's California Adventure Project Tracker

This is what my understanding of the walled area is going to be, dont expect it to look like this, this is just a guess.



And yes there was concept art released, here it.
