Cars Land [Disney California Adventure - 2012]

Et en plus si sa localisation est vrai, ça force le respect.

Le côté de la montagne donnant sur Paradise Pier va enfin être thématisé semble t'il. On s'orienterait vers une thématisation de falaise de bord de mer afin de "coller" avec Paradise Pier.

Un long article en 3 parties (Ready... Set... Go!) sur le plan média de TDA (Team Disney Anaheim) pour l'ouverture de Cars Land et Buena Vista Street fin juin 2012. Considéré par Disney comme la "réouverture" de DCA, le parc pourrait bénéficier de cérémonies d'inauguration digne de ce qui a été fait en mai 2005 pour lancer les festivités des 50 ans de Disneyland.
Egalement dans l'article, les capacités des attractions de Cars Land: 2700 personnes par heure pour les 3 attractions (dont 1460 personnes par heure pour Radiator Springs Racers, soit environ 2 fois moins que POTC).
Les heures d'ouverture du parc seront étendues de 08h à 23h, avec probablement des EMH pour les visiteurs séjournant dans les hotels Disney.

Ready...

I've said it before, but its still important to note that the massive overhaul of Disney California Adventure is unprecedented in the history of Disney theme parks. (And for the record, Toy Story Midway Mania and most of World of Color’s budget wasn’t part of the 1.2 Billion slotted for it.) DCA is now into the home stretch of that four year construction project, and the park couldn’t look uglier out at the main entrance area. It’s going to get even uglier over the winter, until the new buildings and aesthetics of Buena Vista Street finally begin to emerge by next spring.

When DCA is finally done and ready to star at its debutante ball, TDA wants to make sure everyone living west of the Rockies and around the Pacific Rim countries knows about it. As we’ve mentioned in previous updates, the timeline on getting Buena Vista Street finished is extremely tight, and right now that opening date is being placed firmly in the fourth week of June, and the opening ceremonies are now likely to be held the last two days of June leading into the 4th of July holiday.

Rather than just trot out the usual media party however, as they did nicely for this summer’s debut of Star Tours, Little Mermaid and the Soundsational Parade, TDA is thinking bigger for DCA’s re-launch. The Anaheim planners have gone back into the storerooms and dug out the old plans for the launch of Disneyland’s 50th Anniversary in May, 2005 to use as a template for DCA’s re-launch.

Under serious consideration at this time is a plan to mount a multi-day media event that begins by shutting down DCA entirely for a day to “set the stage” and build excitement, much like Disneyland was shut down to the general public on May 4th 2005, the day before the 50th celebration began. The 50th events of May, 2005 are also being used as a template when it comes to Anaheim site logistics, media exposure, Cast Member deployment, and strategic planning. The grand reopening of DCA next June is being planned to be something that is talked about for years, and since Burbank wants to see its investment pay off they are encouraging TDA to think as big as they can.

Set...

Obviously Cars Land is going to be the big driver of media attention and overall interest in the re-launch. Regular readers note that as each new attraction gets ready to open out here in Anaheim we discuss not only it, but the various processes involved as each department in the resort gets ready to deal with the expected crowds and expanded operational logistics. Through the various updates, we step you through all the first reactions (expected crowds) planning efforts (crowd control) and finally how well (or not) all the planning pays off, or is tweaked. (Example: Yes, they were initially very concerned about World of Color's capacity, but the smaller than expected prime viewing areas became a positive as dining/fastpass packages were developed and refined.) It's very much a set process of discovery, that may come across as repetitive, but it’s not really covered by the regular media or the enthusiast forums. Knowing what goes into all this provides insight as to why certain decisions are made, and how well the resort responds to challenges, which for the most part is well handled under the current management.

As part of the strategy planned for next summer, DCA’s operations groups are already wrapping their heads around a plan to create a queue and waiting area to get into Cars Land. There is a blunt realization now that there will be days next year that the 12 acre Cars Land expansion will max out and simply become full. Radiator Springs Racers is the headliner draw, and at 1.5 miles of track and a mega-budget unseen in North American attractions until now. That one mega-E Ticket is seen by TDA as being able to put Cars Land and DCA on the map in much the same way the new Harry Potter ride now has many folks rebooking Orlando vacation plans to visit Universal’s Islands of Adventure instead of Animal Kingdom or Sea World. But it’s the rather modest hourly capacity of the Racers attraction that has the management worried about that first summer.

Go!

The hourly capacity of Radiator Springs Racers is currently pegged by WDI at an underwhelming 1460 riders per hour. That’s roughly half the hourly capacity of Pirates of the Caribbean, and just a tad more per hour than the capacity of Star Tours or Splash Mountain. There’s already space being planned into Cars Land to contain a standby queue for Radiator Springs Racers of just over 3 hours, and generally people won’t wait much longer than that for any ride in Anaheim’s attraction-heavy parks. The two smaller rides; Tow Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree and Luigi’s Flying Tires, also have a low hourly capacity and Cars Land as a whole is only expected to deliver an additional 2,700 riders per hour to DCA’s overall hourly ride capacity total.

As a comparison, the Little Mermaid’s Omnimover system has been gobbling up riders to the tune of 1,900 to 2,000 per hour all summer, and the ride rarely has more than a 15 minute wait because of it. The original scenario from early this summer has held steady, with Little Mermaid carrying up to 22,000 riders per day with minimal lines in a short 10 hour operating day, while Star Tours has 2 hour Standby lines but can barely manage to get 18,000 people per day onto the ride, even with Disneyland’s extra five hours of daily operation compared to DCA.

Cars Land is expected to draw more people into the land each hour than can logistically experience it, even when all three attractions are running at full capacity and barring the usual first-summer breakdowns that will be very common in 2012. Thus, visitors can expect that much of the day they’ll be held in staging areas for a time before being allowed in to explore the new land. The fourth new attraction at DCA next summer is the Red Car Trolley, but it too will have a low hourly capacity of only several hundred per hour with both trolleys running. One of the trolleys is also being reserved for an hour or two each day by the Entertainment Department, who have been tasked with coming up with a short musical show using the trolley car several times per day in both the Hollywood area and at DCA’s main entrance plaza.

One immediate change due to DCA’s re-launch will be in the operating hours. DCA will be opening at 8:00 AM daily next summer, along with Disneyland, and close at 11:00PM while Disneyland continues to operate until Midnight. That will add three additional operating hours to DCA, even though TDA planners are now only expecting a 10% increase in DCA attendance for next summer. But those three extra hours will hopefully mitigate some of the daily demand issues at the most popular attractions and throughout Cars Land. In addition, there’s an early-entry plan being cooked up to only allow guests at the three Disney Hotels to enter DCA an hour early, much like Disneyland does with a broader range of domestic and international tourist packages through its Magic Morning program.

Et des vidéos!

Le camion de pompier est trop fort

Google Maps a récemment rajouter les vues à 45° et du coup , de nouvelles images de CarsLand ::

C'est par ici !!

Et vous pouvez changer d'angle de vue grâce a la boussole

Les vues panoramiques du chantier sont très immersives. On a vraiment l'impression d'être sur les lieux. J'aime cette l'initiative.

Déplacé !

Buena Vista Street, Carsland, le remodelling de Paradise Pier... Je me réjouis déjà d'y retourner!

Espérons maintenant que le public suive afin que Disney poursuive le développement de ce parc de plus en plus sympathique!

Wow génial ! Red a l'air vrai réel ^^,. Voyons ce que cela donnera d'ici l'année prochaine .

Attention, BEAUCOUP de photos!!

Enoooorme!!



Tout ces petits détails dans la montagne, les ponts miniatures, les arbres, etc etc...



Bref, du tout tout bon!

Que demande le peuple (les fans américains). Ils ont déjà un très gros chantier passionnant à suivre et en plus ils ont des concepts arts en quantité. Ils ont du s'éclater dans l'équipe responsable de la conception du land. On a des projets abandonné mais qui sont tout de même intéressant à conserver pour d'autres parcs disney qui n'aurait pas les moyen d'avoir un Carsland complet (n'allez pas imaginer que je pense ne serait-ce une seul seconde à notre resort ).

The wing nut-shaped finial at Flo's V8 Café is now in place.






Mater's Junkyard Jamboree received several new trees since last weekend. Lookin' good!


A couple new structures down at Mater's Junkyard


Scaffolding continues to come down and the places where the "toothpicks" were cut off are patched over.


While at the D23 Expo this weekend at the Anaheim Convention Center our friend Fishbulb snapped some photos of the backside of Cars Land from the top of the convention center's parking structure. It's an interesting view that we don't normally offer here.

You can also get a better look at the "toothpicks" along the backside of the Cars Land mountain range that faces Paradise Pier. These toothpicks are the beginnings of the sea bluff that will hide the backside of the Radiator Springs mountains from guest view in Paradise Pier.
