New rides in DL?

HI there, I%26#39;ve been told, but can%26#39;t seem to verify it, that there have been several new rides added to DL / CA over the past year. We were there in November of 2006 and had the pleasure of riding the tower of terror but have there been new rides added since?





I see Nemo on the dl website but can%26#39;t find anything else?





Anyone?



New rides in DL?


New stuff at the Disneyland Resort.





Disneyland last major attraction was the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage for 2007.





In 2008, Disneyland got some minor entertainment in Adventureland themed to Indiana Jones. Also, they upgraded Innoventions, and the lower floor is now a ';Dream Home'; featuring products for your home. They are having problems trying to get everything to work, and has not opened to the public yet.





Also, Disneyland was supposed to have a new fleet of Monorails, and while 2 have arrived at Disneyland, they are having serious problems, especially design issues and are not available to park guests. One older model is still in operation.





California Adventure just opened up Toy Story Mania!, an ride/attraction that basically is one big video game that uses 3-D glasses and a few special effects.





DCA also got a new parade, the Pixar Play Parade and the Playhouse Disney kids show got a new script.





Not much else, and doesn%26#39;t look like the DLR will be getting a new ride in 2008, but instead will get more new entertainment.





But Disney does have long term plans to improve DCA which includes a few new rides in the next few years. Also, Disneyland will be getting some new stuff, but nothing has been announced.



New rides in DL?


Thanks Darkbeer... you are simply a fountain of information! I appreciate your fast reply!





My ';kids'; are 18 and 20 but loved the toy story attraction when they were 5 and 8.. we%26#39;ll be sure to check it out in August!




Well as the previous post said there are many new things at Disneyland.





As Walt Disney said Disneyland will never stop growing as long as there imagination in the world.





The newest thing at the Disneyland Resort is Toy Story Midway Mania. It is Brand New It opened on June 17! It has been a long time coming for me. The ride itself is a 4d expiernce in which guests board there ride veihcle and then they go around taking part in various Midway games with a toy story theme. Some of the games include ring toss, ballon darts etc.





The ride that opened last year Was Finding Nemos Submarine Voayge. It opened on June 11 2007! I have road this ride several times and just love it. If you have kids I recomend it. But remeber to get to the park when it opens and ride this ride first because it is so popular and the lines can get over to an hour and the is no fast pass for this ride.





Yes this ride is on the disneyland website. Just go to disneyland.com and It should have an icon on the first page.





There is also a brand new parade which opened on March 14th 2008! It is themed to all the pixar movies. There are even a few special effectsm like fire water and bubbles. But they have been having a few problems with them so you never really no what kind of effects you will get until they get them all worked out. The parade runs dalily at 5:15 pm at Disney%26#39;s California Adventure park.





There are also a couple of new stores in Downtown disney like the Fossil Store which carries watches and leather goods. They also just opened the new Vault Disney Store which sells high end disney clothing and accesories. An example of something there would be a pair of jeans with a little disney icon for the price of $150.





I am not quite sure of when you are going to be there but the new house of the future will open in inovations in a few days or weeks, It is all done just not open, I am not sure of the official date. So if you want to see what the houses of the future will look like check it out!





I hope I have helped. Message me for any more questions you may have.




Thank you Disneyfan! that was most helpful.. we will be here in mid August.. we%26#39;ve been 6 or more times now and we do have kids.. just not little ones! They%26#39;re 20 and 18... :)





I don%26#39;t know if I%26#39;ll wait for the Nemo ride.. time will tell!





thanks again!




And don%26#39;t forget the biggest new thing in Anaheim...





The Anaheim GardenWalk Shooppertainment Center





Great restaurants, shops and soon to have an upscale bowling and movie multi-plex.





Definitely work checking out.




We%26#39;ll check it out for sure.. I trust it%26#39;s close by the park.. I%26#39;ll do a search on it..





thanks once again!




Hi Darkbeer, as we will be in Anaheim in April/May, can you tell us where the new Anaheim Shoppertainment Centre is? We are familier with %26#39;The Block%26#39;..is it near there? C3PD




The Anaheim GardenWalk is much closer than the Block of Orange to Disneyland, it is basically one long block.





Most of the ART route now have a stop next to the new center.
