It's amazing how much a theme park can change when you haven't been there in a while. California Adventure is shaping up to be a potentially epic park, considering what they're working on. Last time I went, I got excited thanks to the Blue Sky Cellar, which is where they actually show you updates on new attractions for the forsee-able future; this time, I got to see a couple of those attractions as the real deal. The coolest parts of this day was experiencing World of Color for the first time, and man do these imagineers know how to put on a show. It's like nothing I've ever seen/experienced, and it was well worth the super long wait. The other highlight was entering The Grid, thanks to ElecTRONica. ElecTRONica is the result of the Hollywood Backlot section of the park getting zapped by Kevin Flynn's laser, and it transports the visitors to the world of Tron (anyone else think Bruce Boxleitner should have had way more screen time in Tron: Legacy? I mean, the guy's program carries the name of the movie, you think they could give him some more credit). It included spotlight, lasers, a giant Recognizer checking people, the End of Line club (minus the two French DJs rocking epic suits), and even a recreation of Flynn's arcade; this place was just awesome. The only thing is if you wanted to stay there for the duration of the evening, you'd have to deal with some serious stereo bass for four hours straight; I can't even handle that. Hard to believe that after this evening, I was already halfway through vacation; Disneyland can make time seem like it slows down, but once you leave the park, it's a whole different story.
God bless,
Steven
