Rocky Road to California

 


When Disney California Adventure opened in 2001, there was an eatery in the northeast corner called Hollywood & Dine. It was like a food court in search of a mall. You could grab kung pao, pizza, or burgers and eat indoors or out. The Hollywood & Dine lasted less than a year. West of there, the Hollywood Limo ride was also shut down before its one-year mark. It was replaced by Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue in 2006. Further west was Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - Play It! The theme park game show lasted almost three whole years. Muppet*Vision 3D was also one of California Adventure’s original attractions. Like It’s Tough to be a Bug and Honey, I Shrunk the Audience, Muppet*Vision didn’t age well. For a while, the building housed a Frozen sing-along, then Micky’s PhilharMagic. In a few months, this whole area will close to become a new Avatar-themed land.
