  • Seaworld in San Diego, California
    Seaworld in San Diego, California Watch Dolphins play at the SeaWorld in San Diego, CA With roller coasters, water rides, and animal exhibits, SeaWorld is a popular destination for families to spend the day in San Diego, California. Various attractions at SeaWorld makes it one of the top visited destinations in the world. The Bayside Skyride, a six-minute gondola ride takes you over part of Mission Bay on two 80-foot (24m) towers, and lands on the other side. The distance between these two towers is the longest out of any VonRoll Skyride ever built. The SeaWorld Sky Tower was built in 1969. The ride rises at a speed of 150 feet per minute (46 m/min) while gyrating slowly (1.02 rpm) on the 320-foot tower to offer panoramic views of San Diego and the bay near the park. The Journey to Atlantis attraction is a flume ride and roller coaster themed ride reminiscing the lost city of Atlantis. This ride makes you experience butterflies in your stomach. The ride exits in a large marine museum that houses Leopard sharks, Spotted eagle rays, Cownose rays and Southern stingrays. The park’s raft ride, called Shipwreck Rapids, takes riders through the wild turtle exhibit and right through a waterfall, while Manta is SeaWorld’s biggest thrill ride. Sesame Street's Bay of Play area is based upon the children's television series 'Sesame Street.' There are three interesting rides in this area: Abby's Seastar Spin, Elmo's Flying Fish and Oscar's Rockin' Eel. At the Turtle Reef you can see over 60 turtles along with fishes in an oceanarium.

  • 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.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Mineral Sciences DECONSTRUCTING THE MYTH OF CALIFORNIA: GENDER AND RACE IN DISNEY’S CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE A Thesis in Geography by Marina R. Viola 2009 Marina R. Viola Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science December 2009 The thesis of Marina R. Viola was reviewed and approved* by the following: Lorraine Dowler Associate Professor of Geography and Women‘s Studies Thesis Advisor Melissa W. Wright Associate Professor of Geography and Women‘s Studies Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Disney turns fantasy into reality. ―Imagineers‖ are Disney‘s team of dream makers responsible for creating the magic. Nearly one dozen international theme parks, a cruise ship line, shopping centers, hotels and ownership of the community Celebration, Florida attest to Imagineering‘s cultural influence and success. This vast and variant space along with widely recognized topographic neologisms such as ―Disneyscapes,‖ and ―Disneyfied,‖ illustrate the Company‘s ability to transform ordinary landscapes into fantasy-scapes. In 2001, Disney deviated from its traditional Imagineering practices and attempted to re-recreate reality. Disney‘s California Adventure park opened as a celebration of the Golden State and the Golden Dreams that brought countless individuals in search of opportunity. Using qualitative methods, this study textually analyses the stories conveyed throughout the park‘s artwork, architecture, landscape and iconography. This thesis reveals that the lives and ―dreams‖ of various California subcultures are represented in demeaning and stereotypical manners that reinforce the superiority and dominance of white males over California‘s landscape.
