First, I'm happy that despite the changes that are going to be made to DCA, my favorite rides like Soarin' over California, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and California Screamin' are to remain unchanged.
However I feel weird about these changes being made. One thing is that if the concepts are done well, everyone's going to want to go to DCA and the lines are going to be massive! I mean, I know low attendance is bad...really bad, but I like how everytime I go to DCA, most of the time the lines at most of the rides are short. I'm going to have a hard time getting used to heavy crowds and waiting more than 30 minutes for California Screamin' and Mulholland Madness (I hope they don't take that ride out!).
The Toy Story Mania ride and the Lagoon show look pretty cool. I'm glad that California Adventure is finally going to get some decent nighttime entertainment on par with Remember...Dreams Come True and Fantasmic! Carsland looks nice to, since I loved the movie, but..."Carsland." Surely, they can come up with something better than that! But then again, these are the same people who is going to remain the Disney-MGM Studios "Disney's Hollywood Studios."
So...we'll see what happens. One thing that I think would be cool to do is make Soarin' a 3D attraction. Let me explain...the ride's system and film will remain unchanged...HOWEVER, the film would be cleaned up and there would now be 3D glasses (disguised as avaitor goggles) that would make the flight over California even more realistic!
