Disney's California Adventure Project Tracker

[aashee]

It was an animated movie where Robin Williams always wished he could be a Lost Boy in a Peter Pan Cartoon. It was suprisingly well done and amusing. I would love to see it again but was extremely pleased when it switched to One Man's Dream. I was sad to see that go too but Turtle Talk with Crush it the best of the three.

Imagine that! With every change it improved.

When the park opened, the Disney Animation Screening Room featured "Back to Neverland", A film starring Walter Conkrite and Robin Williams, it was a dated film that was previously at Disney-MGM Studios that debuted some many years before. It was taken out around November and by December, they added "One Man's Dream" along with a timeline of Walt Disney's films in the waiting hall as well as a multiplane camera. By 2005, Turtle Talk was added and One Man's Dream ceases to only play at Hollywood Studios currently.

Thank you. I forgot the name "Back to Neverland". I really enjoyed that show.

In other news...

The new Spring 2008 Backstage Pass AP Newsletter has an ad for Toy Story Mania!

Nothing too special - it's basically the same thing as the Woody poster on the construction walls around the Toy Story Mania! construction site.

What IS interesting, however, is that the ad doesn't mention the attraction's name, except for the web address... We all know that WDI and Jay Rasulo have been having a bit of a power struggle in regards to the name (WDI wants Midway Mania, Rasulo wants Toy Story Mania!). Interesting that they left out the "Toy Story Mania!" attraction name on this ad - I mean, all they did was basically change the proportions of the Adobe Illustrator file they made for the construction wall poster and add "In our next issue" for this AP Newsletter ad --- why take out the attraction name???

I wonder when the attraction's marquee will appear on the building? And what will it say?

Here's hoping for "Midway Mania!"

Thanks for the update Master! Nice to see they are advertising for it with the AP's. If they do an AP Preview I wonder if they will have to do a lottery like they did with the Finding Nemo Subs.

I would imagine that is dependent on whether or not they're on schedule or not.

In any case, I imagine that there will be soft-openings. It's a must for any attraction, especially one like Toy Story Mania which is introducing lots of new technology that guests interact with. And, well, CMs need to learn how to operate the attraction with guests present, right?

You're right. Also, it is something NEW to Californian Adventure and what I would assume is the beginning of the Park Refurbishment...it's the start of what will be a great new beginning for DCA!

I imagine they will once the queue for Screamin' gets re-themed. The project tracker has that project getting underway this fall, but of course, plans can, and do change all the time.

[Peoplemover Priit]

Awesome! Can't wait for it to begin!

[brandond6]

Lets hope it gets called Midway Mania, that name is so much better imo. Does anybody know what they are doing to re-theme California Screamin's queue.

No idea, but right now Orange Stinger is still there. I thought they were going to use that space for a seating area of the Worlds Of Color show or whatever its called.

[Baloo]

no that would put you in the back of the show.

The zephyr is staying but its location has been up in the air.

The orange stinger is another one that has been going back in froth from removal to retheming
