Disneyland Construction, Pricing & More
Yesterday Dateline Disneyland posted an article in the Micechat forums. It is a huge post of all the construction going on at Disneyland. From the draining of the Rivers of America, to the new ticket prices, and even information about the new Red Cars that are coming in 2012. Here are a few highlights from the post, I would recomend heading over there and reading the full post. (link is at the bottom)
The Rivers of America have been drained as the River closes for a scheduled refurbishment over the next four and a half months.
The Red Car Trolleys will help unite the new 1930s Los Angeles-themed Buena Vista Street with the Hollywood Pictures Backlot, which will soon be getting some much needed period-specific re-theming and in the process be renamed Hollywood Land.

World of Color — Behind the H2O — The Journey Begins
As testing begins in the Paradise Bay Lagoon, through periodic blog posts, we’re going to be giving guests a behind the “water screen†look at the show as it is created. It will take months of programming to bring all the elements to life as we weave the tapestry of the show together. When you create a show you mentally put it together in your mind. Then you take those initial ideas and test them looking for the right look and feel. After a lot of trial and error, you finally get to see it come to life in front of your eyes.
But even before the programming sessions can begin, all the effects systems have to be brought on-line and fleshed out. With thousands of individual effects in the show, this meticulous initial testing process takes time. Every device has to be individually tested and programmed into the master show matrix. Once this is complete, the actual programming can begin.
One of the first effects elements to be tested was the fire system. Audiences are going to be really surprised by the World of Color fire effects. Because the units are randomly placed throughout the show platform, they will shock you when they appear. Here is a test video of the first look at the fire. While it is not the final program, it will give you a sense of the visual power it yields!
