Well, the 'new' attraction has just now started soft testing to the public, and by the public I mean pASSholders, Disney site guys, and the tourists from Japan and Idaho. I'm not in any of these categories really, considering my blog is about my life and what I'm into, which happens to be a lot of things, but with this, I'm going to try to shut up as many complaints about this new ride as possible.
See, the thing is with this ride is that it's something that can be anywhere. And with that, it's understandable that people would expect Disney to put in something better than an attraction that can be found at a Six Flags, AND the Texas State Fair. However, with all the previous mistakes that WAS DCA 1.0, this is definitely better than what we used to have.
Some have said they should have taken it out just like they did the Maliboomer. But people don't realize that with a BILLION dollars, spread out all over the park, some things just don't get as much love as other areas will get. This COULD be a bad thing, but the fact is, the majority of money is put where the majority of the park is needed help with the most. Overall, the park NEEDS a new entrance. Spend a lot of money there to make it look like 1920's Los Angeles. The park NEEDS a new big land to anchor the park. Spend a lot of money there to create the desert region of south California/Arizona for CarsLand. The park NEEDS a big dark ride to rival Disneyland's model of original dark ride attractions. Spend A TON of money sending guests underwater for a fish party. Same goes for the night time spectacular World of Color, and Midway Mania.
So where does the rest of the money go? Smaller projects. Things like the restaurant revamp for Paradise Pier. The games revamp. Goofy's Sky School, and Silly Symphony Swings. Attractions and stores that essentially ONLY need a skin graph compared to the organ transplant the rest of the park is getting.
With Goofy's Sky School, all they did was re-paint the track, re-skin the cars, re-tarp the queue, re-design the Fastpass booths, add a new water tower as the queue entrance, and 2D animations throughout the attraction. Sure, it's not much, but with the execution of what they did, I think they did great, and if any imagineers read this that worked on the attraction, thanks for all your hard work on the attraction, it looks great, despite what otherscomplain say.
So now to answer what some are complaining about:
"Why is there a Chicken Farm on Paradise Pier?"
Why is there a band concert with a tornado on a pier? Why is there a lagoon that explodes in color at night in a lagoon? Reality doesn't have lagoons exploding with color. This is all fun and fantasy people. Let your minds rest and stop over analyzing. Here's the simple answer to the otherwise retarded question: There's a chicken farm in Paradise Pier, because it sits next to two restaurants. Eggs and chickens have to come from somewhere, right? Why not put a chicken farm next to a restaurant that y'know...serves things made with chicken and eggs?
"Why is there a Plane School on a Pier?"
Ever travel to the central coast? There's tiny little airstrips literally right next to the beach.
"This looks nothing like the concept art that I liked."
No duh. Concept art is just that. CONCEPT. Meaning its a thoughtful option. Silly Symphony Swings turned out nothing like what we got in the concept art, and World of Color has scenes in the concept art that isn't in the show. Things change all the time. There's always going to be things that are in or not in the art that will or won't become reality.
People should really stop being so overly critical of small attractions and the changes Disney makes. They know what they're doing. Shut up and let themwork play in the park and do what Walt always said: "Disneyland (changing it here, because of so many other Disney parks) and my other parks will never be completed as long as there's imagination left in the world."
