The Imagineers at Disneyland are continually striving to create a better, more exciting experience for all guests. They have dreamed up and executed some really amazing attractions. But that comes at a cost. Some rides are updated to a new theme (such as change from California Screamin’ to the Incredicoaster). Other attractions close permanently at Disneyland to make room for the new.
Why do you need to know this?
To avoid major disappointment! Has it been a while since you have been to Disneyland? Did you have a favorite ride? In my opinion it is best to be mentally prepared for not being able to experience something you remember fondly from the past. On our trip this past March I was ready for the fact that California Adventure would look very different than it did in 2001. Adjusting to all the changes would have been a bit difficult for me if I hadn’t been prepared. I thought the changes were great! The re-imagined Incredicoaster was awesome!
