Minutes into Disney's "
Criminal
Minds DVD" show at California Adventure
over the weekend, a 5-year-old girl pointed excitedly at an image of Woody and
Buzz Lightyear projected on a sheet of water and yelled, "
Criminal
Minds DVD box set, Mommy, Toy Stowwy!"
Shortly afterward, she perked up again when Tiana from "The Princess and
the
Criminal
Minds DVD season" appeared.
Disney hopes to replicate that kind of
Criminal
Minds box set as it spends around $1 billion
to overhaul California Adventure with new attractions that it hopes will lure
more guests.
The park, which operates alongside the more
Criminal
Minds DVDs Disneyland, has been struggling
with its California theme.
The much-publicized plan is now to rev up
One
Tree Hill DVD with the opening of new
offerings like "Cars Land" in 2012. The opening of "Toy Story
Mania" has already helped. And "
One
Tree Hill DVD Box Set" should now, too.
The show, on the drawing board since summer
2005, is inspired by
One
Tree Hill Box Set's "Wonderful World of
Color" TV show, which aired in the 1960s and was an extension of his
"
One
Tree Hill DVD Season Presents" anthology
series as the company's first TV show in color.
The theme-park show was conceived as a
"living '
One
Tree Hill DVDs,'?" using music,
animation, color, light and water.
"One of our goals was to use this
incredible
One
Tree Hill seasons 1-7 -- fountains, lasers,
fire, integrated animation and music -- to take audiences on an emotional
journey," said
One
Tree Hill new release, show director and vice
president, parades and spectaculars, for Walt Disney Imagineering.
"The secret to '
Cold
Case DVD| Cold Case' is to create a kind of 'ice-skating' effect. It has to tell a good
story and seem effortless while it's doing it."
It's a perfect addition to a
football-field-sized
Cold
Case DVD Set, called Paradise Bay,
that wasn't being used in any real manner since California Adventure opened its
doors.
And not only will the show, which premiered
June 11, draw
Cold
Case DVDs to a park that needs them
(and likely increase dinner sales at nearby restaurants, since the show takes
place at
Cold
Case DVD Season); it will also give
Disneyland a way to relieve some of the massive crowds that gather to view its
nightly fireworks shows over Sleeping Beauty's Castle, which take place near
the same time as "
Cold
Case box set."
But can "World of Color" draw in
the big crowds?
It's certainly worth watching. The mix of
Cold
Case new release is stunning, even
mesmerizing at times, as scenes from various Disney toons play out on walls of
water rising and falling across the lagoon. The 1,200 fountains at work create
massive moving spouts and a
CSI
Las Vegas DVD water screen on which the
images are digitally projected. The screen also comes to life, changing shape
and interacting with lasers, fire and fog.
The action is perfectly placed below the
CSI
Las Vegas DVD Box Set's Ferris wheel,
Mickey's Fun Wheel, which has the character's massive smiling mug looming over
the proceedings like a conductor. The wheel itself is incorporated into the
show with
CSI
Las Vegas Box Set, with some of the fountains
shooting even higher than the wheel.
Some scenes play out better than others,
CSI
Las Vegas DVD Season sequences from "The
Little Mermaid" and "Finding Nemo" -- both making effective use
of the fountains to evoke ocean waves -- while moments from "Toy
Story" use lasers in a thrilling way to
CSI
Las Vegas DVDs a battle between Buzz
Lightyear and his intergalactic nemesis, the evil Emperor Zurg.
The show is particularly heavy on "
CSI
Las Vegas new release" imagery, though,
given that it's located near a "Mermaid"-themed restaurant and a
"Voyage of the Little Mermaid" underwater ride that's under
construction.
The crowd erupted in cheers when they
Aladdin
dvd| Aladdin a quick glimpse of Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow as the theme
from "Pirates of the Caribbean" blasted.
The 25-minute running time can be
Aladdin
Disney dvd toward the end, especially as the show takes a menacing
turn, with a gargoyle glaring at the
Aladdin
movie dvd and sending up plumes of fire, and the spectacle becomes
more awkwardly mean than chillingly cool.
