Disney’s California Adventure offers Disney fun with a whole new
attitude in four theme lands – Golden State, Paradise Pier,
Hollywood Pictures Backlot and a bug’s land. Each is divided
into theme areas. There are over 30 attractions including the
following:
GOLDEN STATE
This area celebrates the rich heritage of California and the
people who came looking to make their dreams come true. Golden
State features six themed areas and captivating adventures
including Condor Flats, (Soarin’ Over California - a virtual
hang-gliding adventure over some of California’s most amazing
landmarks) Grizzly Peak Recreation Area, (Grizzly River Run - a
wild, wet river-rafting adventure) Bountiful Valley Farm, The
Golden Vine Winery, Pacific Wharf and The Bay Area (Golden
Dreams - a motion picture filled with humor and emotion that
tells the story of California).
PARADISE PIER
Here are electrifying experiences from the glory days of
California’s seaside amusement piers when they were magnets for
sun-seeking and fun-loving families and thrill-seekers of all
ages. Attractions include California Screamin’, a rollicking
roller coaster that begins with a catapult start, and Sun Wheel,
a giant spinning wheel in the shape of a grinning sun.
HOLLYWOOD PICTURES BACKLOT
Hollywood as a state of mind, not a real place, but as a backlot
movie set surrounded by huge soundstages housing attractions
which give guests fun-filled ways to “pretend” they’re Hollywood
celebrities and join in the fun (Playhouse Disney – Live on
Stage! - a whimsical stage show featuring character favorites
from Disney Channel). They can imagine themselves as movie
starlets, the cast of a lost television episode (The Twilight
Zone Tower of Terror™ - a chilling supernatural thrill ride)
character voices or Disney animators (Disney Animation – an
experience that immerses guests in the great Disney animation
legacy). A traditional landmark water tower at the rear of the
lot bears the name Hollywood Pictures Backlot.
a bug’s land
Designed especially for kids, this land features “Flik’s Fun
Fair,” which is full of attractions inspired by the Walt Disney
Pictures presentation of a Pixar Animation Studios’ film A Bug’s
Life (Bug’s Life Theater presents: It’s Tough to be a Bug - a
3-D visit with Flick and Hopper from Disney/Pixar’s
computer-animated movie, A Bug’s Life) where children can
experience a fun-filled world from a bug’s point of view (Flik’s
Flyers - a whimsical bug-size hot air balloon attraction
fashioned from leaves and empty food containers).
