I woke up when my forehead thudded against the window. Embarrassing, definitely, but as soon as I opened my eyes, I was too excited to be humiliated. Outside, rows of green crops flickered as we drove past — a boring view to some, but it made me want to bounce in my seat. It meant we were one-third of the way to Disneyland. “Are you okay back there, Casey?” My mom twisted around to see if I’d managed to smash my skull open while buckled into the backseat of a sedan. “I heard a clunk.” “Don’t worry, she’s got a hard head,” my dad said, clearly amusing himself. He said that every time my mom overreacted to a minor injury. “Maybe you ought to wear a helmet on the next trip, Acacia.” He glanced at me in the rearview mirror, and I pretended I was fixing my ponytail instead of rubbing my forehead.

  • Paradise Pier California Screamin’
    05_559702_part5.qxd 7/23/04 11:40 AM Page 182 Part Five Disney’s California Adventure A Brave New Park The Walt Disney Company’s newest theme park, Disney’s California Adventure, held its grand opening on February 8, 2001. Already known as “DCA” among Disneyphiles, the park is a bouquet of contradictions conceived in Fantasyland, starved in utero by corporate Disney, and born into a hostile environment of Disneyland loyalists who believe they’ve been handed a second-rate theme park. The park is new but full of old technology. Its parts are stunningly beautiful, yet come together awk- wardly, failing to comprise a handsome whole. And perhaps most lamen- table of all, the California theme is impotent by virtue of being all-encompassing. The history of the park is another of those convoluted tales found only in Robert Ludlum novels and corporate Disney. Southern California Dis- ney fans began clamoring for a second theme park shortly after Epcot opened at Walt Disney World in 1982. Although there was some element of support within the Walt Disney Company, the Disney loyal had to content themselves with rumors and half-promises for two decades while they watched new Disney parks go up in Tokyo, Paris, and Florida. For years, Disney teasingly floated the “Westcot” concept, a California version of Epcot that was always just about to break ground. Whether a matter of procrastination or simply pursuing better opportunities elsewhere, the Walt DisneyCOPYRIGHTED Company sat on the sidelines while MATERIAL the sleepy community of Anaheim became a sprawling city and property values skyrocketed.

I’ve got to go!”, “This is what I’ve been waiting for!”, and “Now I can finally be a hero!”, and there were many posts from people waiting for follow-up information with bated breath as well, such as “I want to know more!” and “I’ve got to get my vacation plans ready when the details come out!”. Please look forward to this emotional experience where you can become a hero and engage in real combat, all in a world of adventure that, so far, you’ve only seen in the games.

    February 24, 2015 Mr. Brian Berry Purchasing & Contraction Administration California State University, Northridge 18111 Nordhoff Street Northridge, California 91330 Dear Mr. Berry: Pursuant to your request, we have completed our analysis of the potential market demand, facilities recommendations and statements of estimated annual operating results for the proposed hotel to be located at the California State University, Northridge in the community of Northridge, California. This report represents the culmination of our research and analysis. As in all studies of this type, the estimated results assume, and are based upon, competent and efficient management and presume no significant changes in the competitive position of the lodging industry in the market area from those set forth in this report. The conclusions reached are based upon our present knowledge of the area lodging market as of the completion of our fieldwork concluded in February 2015. The terms of our engagement are such that we have no obligation to revise this report or the estimated operating results to reflect events or conditions that occur subsequent to the date of the completion of our fieldwork. However, we are available to discuss the necessity for revision in view of changes in the economic or market factors affecting the proposed project. Since the estimated operating results are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to uncertainty and variation, we do not represent them as results that will actually be achieved. This report is subject to the attached Statement of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions in the Addenda. This report has been prepared for your internal use in decision-making with regard to the type and size of the proposed facility.
