[Disney California Adventure] Placemaking: Pixar Pier, Buena Vista Street, Hollywood Land, Condor Flats

Pour du temporaire, c'est soigné tout de même. Le petit plus est l'élément répété sur les palissades. Il reprend une des parties de la nouvelle entrée. Remarquez que dans cette nouvelle entrée, ils ont réussi à installer un kart de vente ^^ on se croirait à DLRP.

Ils n'ont pas lésiné sur les luminaires: des petites lampes pour éclairer les palissades et les affiches; des guirlande au dessus de allée et des gros spots en supplément.

Je me demande si l'installation de cette entrée provisoire était comprise dans le budget initial de l'extension du parc.

Du temporaire qui va quand même durer presqu'un an !

Ok, je ne savais pas le délai, merci de la précision.

Effectivement, les travaux de Buena Vista Street et Cars Land doivent être terminés fin juin 2012. Cette entrée temporaire est donc là pour 10 mois.

Est-ce que le Carthay Circle Theater et la nouvelle place centrale devant avec la fontaine vont ouvrir avant juin prochain? Cette partie a quand même l'air plus avancée que le reste du futur Buena Vista Street puisque les travaux ont commencé il y a déjà plusieurs mois.

Je pense que oui puisque c'est déjà (en partie) le cas; à voir ci-dessous.
Ensuite, des photos de l'intérieur de la boutique Greetings from California, désormais fermée.

Yes! You can once again make your way from the front
of the park, back in to Bug's Land and the rest of the park. YAY!




Directly in front of the Carthay Circle theater structure, we can now see the Red Car Trolley tracks have extended into Buena Vista Street.




They have given the asphalt a worn look


Drywall is going up on the theater.




The backboard for the marquee.


Standing near where the Hollywood archway once stood, we look towards Grizzly...


Then towards Hollywoodland and ElecTRONica.


One last shot from the front of the Carthay towards Soarin'

Goodbye Greetings:
With all of the lovely 1920's theming and immersion coming our way in 2012 we decided to take a look at Greetings from California, a shop that opened with the park n 2001. The Pressler-Era decor of the store betrays the last remnants of a park that was seriously misguided.

Pour faire un petit hors sujet, certains se plaignent que notre dlp est en rénovation et que trop de palissade tue la magie (ce qui ne justifi pas le prix d'un séjour alors que la "moitié" du parc est en travaux). Mais ici au DCA, ils sont comblés. Mais en revanche, leur refonte amène aussi leur lots de nouveauté

DCA = 1 - DLP = 0

Il m'énerve les Américains quand même, ils en ont de la chance -_-'

Nouvelle musique d'ambiance:


Du Monorail, on peut désormais voir l'ancien Sunshine Plaza en plein travaux (en face: le futur Carthay Circle Theater; à gauche: l'ancienne boutique Greetings From California)

pour du provisoire , c'est du beau provisoire ^^ ont est déja dans l'ambiance avant que buena vista street soit términé

Sur la dernière photo, on dirait que le layout de California sreamin a changé à cause de la grue. ^^

Mercredi soir dernier, la coupole du Carthay Circle Theater a été posée:

BUENA VISTA STREET
You can spot the Carthay spire from the ground of the Main Entrance Plaza as well as aboard the Monorail.






Great new tile work.






The Carthay Circle pump house:


PARADISE PIER
The bridge to Paradise Pier has received some new decorative wrought-iron railing. With World of Color crowds lining this bridge nightly, it makes sense that the bridge get altered in a way that would deter parents from sitting their young ones on the handrail during the show.


It's not quite finished yet...

Pouvez-vous me dire où se placent le photographe pour prendre la photo de ce point de vue. Merci

A tout hazard je dirais Main Street Station!

Je pense davantage à un tour de Monorail, qui passe exactement à cette hauteur.
Depuis la gare de Main Street, on verrait les piliers du monorail en avant-plan, sauf si le photographe a zoomé.

Oui suis-je bête, c'est sans doute du monorail.

BUENA VISTA STREET:
All of the facades from the right hand side buildings (restrooms, lockers, Engineer Toys, Burrbank IceCream) have been stripped and are awaiting reconstruction.

Juste magnifiques ces affiches. Rétro, simple mais ultra classe!

BUENA VISTA STREET

From outside the park, you can catch glimpses of gutted buildings along the former Sunshine Plaza


Inside the park, you can see more of the progress...


The former Engine Ears Toys shop




Greetings from California has been gutted




A look at the Carthay Circle Theater: you can spot newly added features from Mickey's Fun Wheel


A look toward the Carthay Circle area from the Monorail


And a view of the park's main entrance from the Monorail


The merchandise carts along the temporary entrance in DCA have been replaced with bigger display cases


Le nouvel intérieur du Blue Sky Cellar:
The exhibit is largely dedicated to the park's new entryway, with only a small mention of Cars Land.


Buena Vista Street elevations


Red Car Trolley details




Clarabelle's






A large display case has sketches, tile samples, facade models, and floor plans of various shops and dining locations along Buena Vista Street. The display gives an interesting look at what the creative process may have been like when the Imagineers were working on this project.

You look marvelous...

The statistics on what’s coming to DCA are staggering really, and it almost equals the types of numbers they were working with when DCA first opened in the winter of 2001. During the first six months of 2012 DCA will be adding over 1,000 hourly front-line Cast Members to the ranks, in addition to the usual pre-summer hiring the whole Resort normally does. There will also be several dozen new salaried park managers added to DCA, and TDA is staffing those new spots quietly and internally to prevent hundreds of resume’s being submitted from Walt Disney World managers who are always eager to move west.

While many DCA locations have already received new themed Cast Member uniforms, there are still dozens and dozens of brand new uniforms to be introduced this winter. The ultimate goal is to rid DCA of every single cheap uniform it opened with in its “hip and edgy” format in 2001, and replace them with period-specific and themed uniforms. The first of these new looks will be arriving at the main entrance area, where the simple and inexpensive tan uniforms now worn are replaced with more elaborate pieces with custom buttons and exclusive fabrics just for the main entrance team.

Before the construction walls can come down at DCA, there’s also a half dozen new entertainment offerings that need to be cast, scripted and rehearsed for locations throughout DCA’s new areas. Jazz combos on Buena Vista Street, spare car parts bands in Cars Land, and Roaring 20’s dance crazes erupting from the passing Red Car Trolley are just a few of the atmosphere entertainment concepts to be added to DCA by next summer. No wonder the Entertainment team was happy to put elecTRONica on cruise control for another six months, instead of trying to stage a replacement this fall.

To their credit, they have taken this current month of downtime caused by required sidewalk work for the trolley system and given the elecTRONica equipment a full refresh. They’ve been painting, re-lamping and freshening everything involved with elecTRONica this month, in addition to adding more Wii stations and classic video games at Flynn’s Arcade. The whole thing is slated to get dumped next April for that Mad Tea Party theme we’d told you about earlier, but it will look as fresh as new when it opens again for its last winter run this Friday.

Do not try this at home...

While there’s plenty of work to do this winter back in TDA to get ready for DCA’s big relaunch, it’s the dirty work happening behind the construction walls that is causing some nail biting now. They’ve wasted no time in ripping DCA’s entire entry complex down to the steel girders and rocky Anaheim soil. The Buena Vista Street project is no mere reskin of existing facilities, but is rather a full rework where only a few existing pieces of underground infrastructure get reused and the rest is built from scratch. The construction timetable for all this is still very fluid, and the opening date once pegged for late June is now the best case scenario.

If they face any major setbacks or unforeseen problems, or we get a very rainy winter, the timetable will begin slipping by weeks and the opening of Buena Vista Street may move into July or even early August. It’s far too early to tell right now, and the project managers from WDI are telling the Anaheim executives that they won’t know for certain until January or February, but the whole DCA relaunch may need to be pushed back even further into the summer since the Buena Vista Street complex is such a key part of the rebranding and relaunching of DCA in the marketplace.

---

It's beginning to look a lot like...

In response to this bit of sobering construction news, TDA executives have recently told their staffers to stop using the phrase “June, 2012” in any mention about the opening of Cars Land and DCA’s reopening. Instead, the phrase “Summer, 2012” is now the politically correct answer to any DCA question.

While all theme parks like to open their latest and greatest addition in the late spring to tap into the busy summer season, it’s not unheard of for Disney projects to open in late summer or early fall. The new Tomorrowland of 1967 was notoriously behind schedule, with only the Carousel of Progress ready by the 4th of July, and most other attractions not opening until August. Haunted Mansion opened on August 9, 1969, and Big Thunder Mountain didn’t open until Labor Day Weekend of 1979, with Splash Mountain facing several months of delays that pushed its opening from April until mid July of 1989.

Buena Vista Street simply has to be there in completed form before Disney dares to invite the media to see the 1.2 Billion dollar extreme makeover they gave to their most infamous theme park. As part of this unknown date saga, TDA has recently notified all salaried management in DCA that all vacation and time off requests are forbidden from late May until late August next summer, since the exact opening date is still unknown.

We’ll follow this story closely this fall and winter, but along with the TDA executives it may not be until February when we’ll know a tighter date range on when DCA will have its grand reopening party. Keep a good thought that the winter stays dry and they can make it by June.

J'espère que ça sera bien gini en juin car j'ai prévu de m'y rendre en juillet. Ce serait bête de louper tout ça pour un mois
Je vais quand même attendre février pour réserver !
