Do People Like California Adventure?
Submitted By: ThmPrkCrtc on 5/3/2001 9:16:00 AM
Ive been hearing good and bad about the new park, and looks like Gomez.com has taken up the subject in an article today.

Some rave that the new parks attractions are inventive, filled with wonderful details characteristic of any Disney project, and refreshingly free of Mickey and pals.

Others say they miss the Mouse, that the park has too few attractions and too little spectacle to warrant the one-day entry fee of $43 for adults, $33 for kids -- equaling Disneylands price.

I havn't been there, but it seems like there are enough grade A attractions there. California Screamin, S+S ride, hanglider ride, Grizzly run which is supposed to be awesome, and more rides opening soon. To me that is a much better deal than Disney's Animal Kingdom. I don't think it can compete with Disneyland, but if they continue to add rides it will definitly be worth the addmission.

More rides coming soon? Hardly! They shelved the Armageddon attraction and nothing else is on the drawing board for at least a year.

Out here in California, the park is a total flop. The general concensus is that they have one GREAT ride (Soarin' Over California), two very good rides (California Screamin' and Grizzly River Run) and about four good attractions. The rest are far too carnivally. When asked what price people would be willing to pay to come back, the average was about 20 dollars. OUCH!

I visited it when it was open and it was ok. The rides are great but there arent many. it is a good deal for coaster fans cuase screamin never was above 30 min wait. Grizzly was like 40 but soarin was a joke. I didnt get to ride for the lines. The first thing i did was screamin and it broke down which blew my chance to ride soarin. Then i thought to fastpass but the lady working there said (it was11am) you get one now and it will be for 4 pm. so i thought if screamin was 20 how bad could it be. i went over at 1 and it was 2 hours. So the price aint worth it for there are only 3 great rides.
