• Haunted Mansion Holiday opened for the first time.
• Country Bear Theater was closed and was later replaced by another attraction. We’ll talk about that later this week.

 

That’s our history lesson for today!!

Rocket Rods

One of the most popular Tomorrowland attractions at Disneyland Park that didn’t last long was Rocket Rods. The ride vehicle contained five seats. One in the front row, one in the second row, one in the third row, and two together in the back row.

This ride replaced the PeopleMover and it was opened in  November 1998. Throughout it’s time, it seemed to be broken down frequently. The line was always long, but it was worth the wait. The ride closed it’s doors in April 2001.

Two months after Disney’s California Adventure opened.

Note: I have NO photos for this attraction!!

Carthay Circle Theater

One of the buildings that opened last week at the new entrance of Disney’s California Adventure is the replica of the Carthay Circle Theater. The exact same place where Walt Disney hosted the premiere of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 75 years ago. 
The theater in real life first opened in Hollywood during the mid-1920s. It was also named as one of the best movie theaters in Hollywood until it was demolished in 1969.
In June of 2012, Disney Imagineers created and opened their replica of the theater at California Adventure.  However on the inside, it’s a restaurant and lounge on the first floor. As for the second floor, it’s Club 1901. Or as the guests call it “The Club 33 of California Adventure”. 

NEW Entrance at California Adventure

Last week at Disney’s California Adventure, NOT only did the NEW Cars Land open, but the NEW Entrance of the park opened as well.
The new entrance resembles Buena Vista Street in the 1920s when Walt Disney moved to California. It features the replica of the Carthay Circle Theater. In the theater, there’s a lounge and restaurant on the first floor and they have Club 1901 on the second floor.
There’s also the ticket entrance that was designed after the ticket entrance of Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.
We will upload the photos as soon as we can.
Check back for more information about the Carthay Circle Theater.

In addition, the new entrance to the park is also open today. It resembles Buena Vista Street in the 1920s and 1930s!! It features a new club called Club 1901. Named after the year Walt Disney was born. It’s California Adventure’s version of Club 33!!
Please Note that the real Buena Vista Street is located in Burbank, California.
