Last week the entry arch to the Hollywood Pictures Backlot was removed over the course of one night. You can spot the beginnings of the new Carthay Circle fountain in the lower right corner of this photo It's just too bad no attraction is planned for inside the Theatre.Ĭonstruction view from the entrance of Hollywood Pictures BacklotĬarthay construction from the Monorail. The structure will really help cap the Buena Vista Street area and give the entrance of the park a very nice "weenie" to draw guests in. Flagpoles for the new Pan Pacific Auditorium-inspired structure have been installed.Ī look at the construction from inside the park:įurther inside the park, the new Carthay Circle Theatre continues to grow. Work continues to progress quickly at California Adventure's new main entrance turnstiles. Photos don't really do it justice - this steel framework is already huge, a far cry from the empty openness of Sunshine Plaza. It's just some steel at this point, but exciting nonetheless. Inside the park, vertical construction on the new Carthay Circle Theater, the new central icon of the park has started. The Maliboomer's exit path has been converted into a smoking area.Ĭonstruction continues on the new Pan-Pacific Auditorium-themed entry gates at California Adventure. It's a regrettable corner in a park that is finally starting to look good. Let's hope this "lush new park" doesn't last very long. At a Resort where money is routinely spent on nicely themed construction walls surrounding construction zones and painted scrims to hide simple repainting projects, this half-hearted "park" area is an embarrassment, especially considering it will be seen by guests for years. Of course, this isn't the first time the remains of a closed attraction have lingered for years at Disney California Adventure (Superstar Limo, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?, Hollywood & Dine), but this is the first time the remains of a shuttered attraction has looked so glaringly bad in the park. It looks painfully cheap and it is clearly obvious that the space is the site of an attraction that was removed and not replaced. Still, even being a temporary solution, this "park" does not belong in a Disney theme park. The long-term plans for this space call for a new attraction to absorb this space as well as the nearby Paradise Pier gift shops. The area isn't so much a park as it is a wide thoroughfare past the grave of a former attraction that had some trees planted around it. Three trees in wooden boxes sit in the place of the attraction's three launch towers and a new planter with small trees surround the platform on ground level.Ī couple benches are available, but who would want to spend time here? Shade structures for the Maliboomer queue can see in the background. The cement platform for the Maliboomer is still here. They disappear into another floating wall. The handrails for the Maliboomer queue remain intact, just painted white. The floating walls really make the area look that much cheaper and incomplete. The result is that the new walls float above the ground, making them look like an obvious cheap, quick fix. Throughout the park, the walls are attached to the metal safety fences instead of being custom-designed to sit on the ground. The new walls covering the safety fences surrounding California Screamin' supports are a nice idea, but the execution is quite bad. On first look the space appears serviceable, but the reality is that the area is an ugly fit for a Disney theme park. The "lush new park" that Disney advertised on construction walls as a replacement for the former Maliboomer attraction has opened. c'est visiblement loin d'être une réussite!! Le temporaire "Maliboomer Park" est ouvert mais. It really seems like this entire area will feel very temporary until a more permanent attraction takes over the space White wooden themed walls are going up around the teal-and-white metal fences in the area. Work in the "lush new park" where the now-gone Maliboomer thrill ride was is progressing. You can spot some Carthay Circle Theatre-style features already:Ĭonstruction continues on the new Paradise Garden dining area and the re-themed Goofy's Sky School coaster A new cement wall has sprung up at the back of the space. Inside the park, work is underway at the site of the future Carthay Circle Theatre. Work is picking up at California Adventure's new entrance complex, with new main entrance turnstiles taking shape along with the beginnings of the new Carthay Circle Theatre
