Disney Unveils a 1920s Theme for California Adventure

Y'know, this one might fly after all!

We now have even more of the picture and theme for the $1.1 billion upgrade of Disney's California Adventure.

The sweeping overhaul will transport visitors to the California of the 1920s, when Walt Disney first arrived in Hollywood. In the same way that Disneyland's Main Street evokes Disney's hometown of Marceline, Mo., a refocused California Adventure will follow the young animator's journey to Los Angeles.

Disney's sizable investment, to be spent through 2012, comes atop the initial $1 billion the entertainment giant spent to build the park, which opened in 2001, and $300 million more put into new attractions such as the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Toy Story Midway Mania.


The only problem here, though, is that Toy Story Mania kinda sticks out like a sore thumb, doesn't it? It is just too modern and contemporary to fit into the theme.

Oh well, we'll see eventually how everything fits.

Zz.
