With a 1.2 Billion dollar budget, California Adventure is getting a large renovation. The park has proven less successful than its Disneyland counterpart next door. Disneyland ranks second in the world in theme-park attendance with 14.7 million visitors last year, compared with about 6 million to Disney's California Adventure, according to an Economics Research Associates report. So here are some of the major changes happening now, or scheduled to happen in the future.
Say goodbye to the CALIFORNIA letters outside the park entrance. The whole entrance will be changed as they near the completion of the project. The Golden Gate Bridge and the amazing tile murals along the entrance to Sunshine Plaza will be taken down. On our last trip to the park we took the following pictures to remember them.
Cable Cars will be added to the Hollywood Pictures Backlot (which will be re-named Hollywoodland) and they will run through the main plaza. Work has already started on this project.
Below is what the new entrance to California Adventure will look like. What are your thoughts?
We will show you additional changes as they happen and keep you up to date on additional changes. It will be very sad to see a lot of these things leave.
Walt Disney once said, "We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world."

Don't like the entrance changes. Looks like Tomorrowland. Like the idea of cable cars but not a long strip.
