- Ten years after Disneyland paved a parking lot and put up Paradise (Pier), Some Jerk With A Camera examined the first decade of the evolution of Disney's California Adventure Park, and why they did very little to celebrate their tencennial.

I was actually there on Opening Day and got on California Screaming, Grizzly Rapids and Soarin' with only about 30 minute waits on each...my entire family was stunned because we had a lot of fun there that day, and really couldn't figure out why basically no one else showed up...might have something to do with THE FACT IT OPENED UP ON A THURSDAY IN EARLY FEBRUARY!! Who the HELL chose THAT day?
The biggest irony is the fact the tractors were replace by an attraction featuring tractors. Bountiful Farm is now the site of Mater's Junkyard Jamboree.
Because who doesn't love tractors?
"Not a working tractor of course, that would be too interesting."
LoL
And now they have living tractors!
"Boy, I've never seen a tractor like THAT one before."
4:17 I have to admire Eisner's decision to use the "pillow smother" method of pieing someone.
He’s had... experience smothering people
I love how this is becoming more and more of a time capsule with each passing year.
You were so close to hitting that guy at 0:45 😂😂😂😂
Oh, Jasmine slamming into that cardboard set was delightful.
Made me give a standing ovation, that's for sure.
Brian Moore it would've been even funnier if she had somehow knocked Aladdin down (especially if she got him in the nuts)
5 years and that potato still hasn't killed anyone
Just you wait...it will use all our blood as ketchup someday.
even me on the east coast?
ESPECIALLY you on the east coast.
Tony Goldmark but don't live on either coast
Actually it's been killing people ever since it was created. But it does it so well and secretive we never even noticed. Even it's victims, including Some Jerk With A Camera, the Rock, me, you, most of Texas, and all of New York State, keep walking around like nothing ever happened.
The biggest irony of ironies is that this video is now abit of a time capsule for what DCA looked like over a decade ago. Also, in 2021, DCA got screwed over again out its 20-year anniversary. I know that was out of their control, I know, but still. Poor park cannot catch a break. Maybe it'll get a proper celebration for its 30th in 8 years?
or it's 25th in 2 years?
3:24 To this day I actually miss that plane that's bursting from the restaurant. It's one of those structures that I always remembered from the park. Still as Smokejumpers it works and it's one of my favorite restaurants to visit.
And at the time there was touch screen ordering and in 2001 that was super high tech and it blew my damn mind
Oh, I remember those old DCA commercials. Has Buzz always been associated with the park?? XD
I know this video is old I just want to say something I only now noticed after watching it on a 60” HDTV. Whoever filmed you in front of those California landmarks really knew how to frame a shot. Bravo
You're currently my absolute favorite reviewer, keep up the good work, man.
I can only hope to run into you at Disneyland some day, you seem like THE person to hang out with there. Speaking of which, are you excited about the Hatbox Ghost bring back?
It's inevitably going to be an RIP comment but gone soon for Avengers rides will be the great joke that sold me to keep following your show: "the choo-choo train with the voice of a dead man".
Visited DCA on June of 2019, and sure enough, saw some work walls there with the construction of the new Marvel Studios attraction area.
The tractor clip is a preview from this year's Farm Simulator.
Farm Simulator Disney Edition
the fact that this reupload is 7 years old with the ACTUAL vid being 12 makes me age like a fossil and die inside
How do you think I feel?
@@TonyGoldmarkLike a King? Cuz you are.
"...paved a parking lot and put up paradise..." I just got the joke. *golf clap*
Hey I live in detroit
And thats actually pretty accurate
matthew whitcher quiet you
Today, DCA has a 4.6% rating on google Reviews and for a good reason. Nowadays it's a place you CHOOSE to go. Even with the Tower of Terror ride there being transformed into a Guardians of the Galaxy ride, (to be honest it's going to have the same mechanics as the old ride and given my less than pleasant memories with the ToT up in Florida, I'm not sure how much i'll like this new ride more.) I see DCA will be going even more places in the future. Everything they can't fit into the original Disneyland goes to DCA and that can only, hopefully, work in it's favor.
Is the rating any better?
I've watched this video 100 times and it still makes me laugh
just think guys one of those guys on that tour 6:48 would go on to voice bing bong in Inside out
He was already Molt. That's actually my favorite of the special when he talks to Hopper. And now, just like Kevin couldn't voice Richard's bug brother, Richard somehow couldn't make it to voice Bing Bong in the emotional whirlwinds! He was in the Tom and Jerry Movie! And an Air Buds movie (a really dark one, but still)! Guess Richard draws the line at spinny things (even if they're based on Cinematic achievements)?
I love Bing Bong
Mountain DOES roar when you ride it! >:D
Does he really sing Frozen songs, though?
I love the runner you have about tractors. Mostly because tractor is just a funny word for me, but also the faith they must’ve had in having a tractor that doesn’t move.
I can't believe they had A TRACTOR as an attraction! You can go inside 3-5 different tractors (some of them even larger) at a John Deere showroom (which you can get in FOR FREE) only a short drive away from where I live! (can you tell I live in the Midwest?)
I can tell.
Who was drunk enough to think that a tractor was a good attraction?
So they made the theme park because people were leaving disney land to see the actual California. But why on earth would they think they could base a theme park about California IN California and then think it could compete WITH California? This belongs in, say, Japan.
Nyndja yeah
What I don’t understand is that they were planning a new park based around America in general that they were having issues getting the space for on the East Coast. Why not just build that instead of California Adventure? That would be a lot more interesting.
I find it funny now that Iger is treated with just as much scorn as Eisner now. Hell I've seen a few older fans say the would trade Iger for Eisner again. Especially after the entire debacle with Shanghai that may or may not end up being another Disneyland Paris situation.
Seriously? They'd rather have DCA 1.0 than DCA in the 2010s? Star Wars Land under construction, Marvel Land soon to follow, and the rest of the company - particularly the movies - doing better than literally ever? This is the company that gave us GRAVITY FUCKING FALLS and people still aren't satisfied?!
I swear to Christ, some people just haaaaaate living in the present no matter how good it is.
Sure, MAYBE Shanghai will prove to be "Iger's Paris" - i.e. the fiasco that makes him afraid to spend too much money ever again - but what if we just wait and SEE if that ends up being the case, hmmm?
Tony Goldmark
You nailed exactly my problem with people who just roll around in the Iger hate train. The company is much better off now that it was when Eisner was in control. People seemed to forget Eisner more than often endangered the company than saved it.
Now has Iger done a few things I don't agree with? Yeah but TWDC is a buisness, and they are bound to do things from time to time that I don't like. Often i find so many fans say that they HATE Iger with a firery passion because he doesn't allign with how they feel the parks should be run. Mixing up personal preference with how a buisness should be run.
I promise you the same exact people saying things were better under Eisner would've called him the antichrist about 12-15 years ago (or actually did). They'd rather gorge themselves on member berries than live one second in the present.
Tony Goldmark
And the same people say they just have "a honest, critical view of the parks." When in actuality, they are just being pretenious assholes complaining everytime something happens.
Now Iger and the execs would win my full 100% support no matter what if two things happen. A.) We get Alien Encounter back. or B.) Lightcycle Power Run pops up outside of Shanghai. I heard a recent rumor somewhere thats its in a sort of Blue Sky stage right now to come to Epcot? But i dont know how vaild that is especially because Blue Sky is just so vague and random. But if Disney did do either of those things, I would be an incredibly happy little fan who would be satisfied forever.
Maybe it's because Iger at one point promised to fix the problem of 2d animation not being marketable, and bring it back into theaters, and never really fulfilled his promise.
Maybe they should have probably marketed your 2D films better, instead of putting them against Harry Potter.
There was one thing this section of the park from Disneyland were poked fun of is few Simpsons episodes back in 2002 which The Simpsons went to the rock and Lisa brings up: "At least it beats Disney's California Adventures"
chances are if any Simpsons attraction opens at the California parks it will end up at DCA
please never stop making these! fantastic!!
9:34 The Disney Company reaction to California Adventures' failure...
This was the first video of yours I ever saw. Loved your work ever since!
13:25 Weird Al: And the worst thing is...
It blew away the Tractor and now we have nothing to look at! 🚜 😢
Yay! I'm happy that you uploaded this video onto RUclips! I absolutely love this documentary. I love quoting it with my sister. :)
That roaring mountain ad used to scare me stiff as a kid at the end of the Monsters Inc VHS lol
The tower of terror ride, is it still there? Noo! It's Guardians of the Galaxy ride.
Ha! Watching in 2021!! DCA’s 20th year. Will we see a sequel in 2024? 20 years of Disney’s California Adventure?
THIS year is DCA's 20th, and my good friend Charlie has already started that retrospective: ruclips.net/video/E59ZVJKUdoo/видео.html
“IT...COULD...WORK”
Gene Wilder
Every time I go on that pier bridge, I think of you saying “USA, USa- I’m gonna go get drunk.”
The Madison Radisson is real aaaaa
it's a shame they won't do anything for their 15th anniversary either
9:55 You forgot My Chamical Romance's classic track ''We Don't Need Another Song About California''
1:00 Before the Jerk used the first Soarin note as a means for drama and suspense... (And to heighten it, also combined it with other orchestral pieces)
Loved this video, you just earned a subscriber! :)
A video on WestCOT would be really cool. Walking around the resort showing where things would have been.
+Lundo Pictures Wouldn't have too much B-roll to fall back on, sadly.
Like my 10th time watching and just now caught "paved a parking lot & put up Paradise Pier". Then I realize it's also in the video description & feel doubly foolish
Jerk when are we getting a review of Radiator Springs Racers?
2:22 I thought the trump animatronic was in Florida
Hoping to see you do a review of that "Steve Guttenberg Shitty Movie" aka Tower of Terror. Maybe you can do it just like Haunted Mansion with Count Jackula & Horror Guru?
I don't think Jack wants to set foot in any Disney park ever again.
Lousy Smarch weather!
Did you just mock Colin Mochrie? You need to watch more who's line.
Agreed, most fans agree he was probably the funniest guy on the show.
is, whose line has been in revival mode for like 4 years now
Neh, I like Ryan better.
Also funny is Colin's daughter was a content creator on Channel Awesome. She left long before the big controversy, but she was a major character in To Boldly Suck. I mean Flee.
14:21 you predicted how the remake was gonna be, are you a wizard?
yes. yes i am.
While I think the Califronia theme was a bad idea, I'm kinda pissed that the park retains that name, as California isn't the focus anymore. The problem's not as bad as Hollywood Studios, but its still noticable. Also I just miss those big letters out front spelling CALIFORNIA and SUPER miss the Golden Gate that the monorail went across. The letters helped build hype outside, and the Golden Gate was just cool.
you remind me of nastolgia critic. so you got yourself a new sub!
14:36 and it's gone
Three months ago I visited DCA for the first time. I'm so grateful to have had this video to learn more about the park before my visit. Yes I had a lot of fun there, went on lots of rides and saw World of Color.
Love this video. Keep up the great work Tony.
I have a soft spot for DCA, despite it's flaws. Though I do think that Marvel's campus is pretty underwhelming, also they should have never gotten rid of Muppet Vision.
4:14 RIP Gene Wilder
3:47 Then we will brings the rest of California... HEEEEEEERE!!!
Frokensting: It... Could.. WORK! 4:12
Thanks for introducing me to TMBG's version of There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow. It's now one of the few soundtrack songs I listen to regularly!
And speaking of 14:42, can you make a review of "Tower of Terror" happen?
+Josh Freilich Someday.
Oops. Guess we'll settle for that review on Mission: BREAKOUT instead!
@@TonyGoldmark it's been 67 years...
@@iatenailsforbreakfast8209 And it'll be 67 more if you keep asking. Go away.
@@TonyGoldmark holy shit, I didn't expect a response, haha. you scared me a bit
18 years this weekend! Had to visit this classic
True Story: when I first went to Disney’s California adventure back in 2013 (which is the same year I found out about it), I thought it was just Disney’s answer to Universal’s Islands of adventure. Only to find out years late that it was intended as a park that brought to the state you were already in.
Should Westcot have been built instead of DCA, even knowing that DCA would later become a worthy Disney park?
I think Westcot would've been worthy right off the bat, and we wouldn't have had to wait an additional 11 years for the park to achieve worthiness.
Dude you are so great😂😂
With all the stuff they're replacing in this park nowadays, do you think that they'll rename Disney's California Adventure into something else? The more changes I've seen in recent years the less "California" it's seems to be getting (which I don't really mind, seeing that it was rather a silly idea to put a California themed amusement park in the state of California in the first place). If you were to rename this park, what it be?
Frankly, I have no idea. Considering the plans for the forseeable future are to turn the park into a hodgepodge of Pixar, Marvel, old-timey Hollywood/Los Angeles aesthetic, old-timey seaside carnival aesthetic, rural small-town Route 66 aesthetic, woodsy national park aesthetic and a smidge of California here and there...any all-encompassing title would have to be extremely generic. And no matter what happens, DCA will always at least be IN California, so...I guess it's a failsafe.
I think dropping the dropy thing should’ve been turned into another buzz light year ride
Thank God Bug's Land is gone forever. At least Marvel will always be relevant whether people like it or not.
Well it’s 20 years old today and I’ve never been to it because I’m Canadian I mean I’ve been to Disney world twice in Florida so is it any better or not (yes I know it’s closed but it’s been 10 years since this video)
In its pre-pandemic state? Yeah, overall I'd rank it at least as high as the current versions of EPCOT, Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom.
@@TonyGoldmark ok
I really don"t get why people dislike Michael Eisner so much. Granted he was CEO too long, and by the end had too much power but everyone forgets that in the late 80's he basically saved the company with great advances in movies like Little Mermaid, Lion King, and Beauty and the Beast and theme parks with 2 new parks in Florida, 1 new park in California and many others across the world(though apparently the Tokyo Disneyland Resort is not owned by Disney despite being the second most popular theme park in the world behind Magic Kingdom and just ahead of Disneyland Park)He deserves credits for his hits and not just his misses.
+littlejake4 Oh, I agree. And I give him that credit. But it's just fun to make fun of prominent rich people, especially when they fuck up, and ESPECIALLY especially when they have the hubris to presume to be a latter-day Walt Disney and voluntarily get in front of the camera to introduce movies on TV and such. Don't worry about Michael Eisner, he'll be fine.
It wasn't until Frank Wells passed away in 1994 was when Eisner went batshit crazy with power and almost drove the entire Disney company into the ground.
12:38 Personal experience: it was pretty cool but packed. Don't go during Golden Week.
You thinking about doing a twenty years retrospective on this place in 2021? It's only three years from now and your upload schedule suggests you having to think that far ahead.
0:44 Jerk almost smacks some random guy in the face.
It will soon be 10 Years of Some Jerk's 10 Years of Disney's California Adventure. Time flies. Also California Adventure opened on Seth Greens 27th Birthday
12:10 WTApodcast in a nutshell
I love this video. Always makes me smile and laugh.
Mentioning blip.tv! :(
awesome video had a good laugh keep up the good work 👍👍
"I'm pretty sure everybody's me"
I mean, he's not wrong.
Jerk, what are your thoughts on them closing the Aladdin musical in California Adventure
+littlejake4 What, the thing I kept forgetting was even there? Meh. It's certainly not the WORST show I've ever seen at a theme park (that distinction goes to The Eighth Voyage Of Sinbad at Islands Of Adventure), but I won't miss it. And anyway, if a Frozen stage show causes them to close that nearby unforgivably cheap "Sing-Along" horseshit and bring back Muppet*Vision, I'm all for it.
+Tony Goldmark Also their changing soarin from over California to over the world which is pretty cool, you agree ? and also do you think DCA is worthy of the Disney name now with cars land and radiator springs racers ?
Honestly, I wish they would leave DCA's Soarin alone and only change EPCOT's Soarin to "Over the World." DCA's Soarin was the ONE thing about DCA 1.0 that unequivocally worked, and it'd be nice to leave it unchanged.
Cars land and RSR are nice...but what REALLY makes DCA worthy of the Disney name now is Buena Vista Street. It finally really feels like you're walking into a DISNEY PARK, and all the detail and immersion that implies, and that makes a world of difference.
+littlejake4 really they are bumping Soarin and Aladdin the Musical? (well to be fair, I'm sure the Broadway version is ten times better)
+Tony Goldmark Would you even say that the 8th Voyage of Sinbad was even worse than Creature From the Black Lagoon the Musical?
Why did they turn the spinny thing into another spinny thing?
Bees, my God!
great video. You're pretty funny.
fit record, DCA.
Um... Jerk, look out for that...
2:21
Work wall.
So since it's very unlikely that this park will be open for it's 20th anniversary, will we get a commentary?
I'll think about it.
LOL, I just discovered that if you watched this with auto generated captions enabled, the "droppy thing" is called the "crappy thing." Indeed it was. XD
1:30
What’s ironic is that the late Iger era has made steps to drift away from this vision.
That part where the audience shouted "Asshole" and "Slut" when you introduced Barry Bostwick and Richard Kind, I recognized that from the Audience Participation version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
However, I tried finding the Audience Participation version, and I got a different take on the AP version instead. Which version had this?
I think it's one of the Live versions with Audience Participation. That might be why you can rarely find it on RUclips.
I got it off a CD release of Rocky Horror with audience participation from back in the 90s I think. Keep in mind they say "Asshole!" and "Slut!" a LOT in that recording, basically every time Brad introduces himself and Janet to anyone.
Would love to hear the full insect rendition of Beauty and the Beast
ruclips.net/video/XW2jskeYJ5Q/видео.html
the new dca isn't as redundant since it's kind of based on early 20th century california. (honestly i enjoy going there over disneyland sometimes...)
So where do I buy tickets for your seminar, "how to spell things with other things"?
Unfortunately, the seminar has been canceled due to extreme indifference.
9:23 Hey mountain! Shut up!
What's with that guy at 17:04? the one in front of potato head? he looks pissed.
with the 50th coming up for Disney world, you should do a 50 years of the magic kingdom videos
Not til 2021. And honestly, I'd feel weird about making a "50 Years of the Magic Kingdom" retrospective, partly because the REAL milestone will be the 50th anniversary of Disney World in general, and also because there's literally six different "Magic Kingdom"-type parks in the world - I like my anniversary retrospectives to be on unique parks.
Tony Goldmark I guess whay I really would love to see is a full retrospective of the stitch's great escape building. with an in depth look at each attraction it housed and not just alien encounter.
Maybe someday. We'll see.
One day im gonna go that theme park
Have I been watching a different version? I don’t think I’ve heard the “asshole” and “slut” joke before on this special.
What footage at 9:24 and 13:25 did you get it from?
ruclips.net/video/Wd9lRnqpx5A/видео.html
Tony what are the links for the Disneyland and Walt Disney World 10 year celebration videos
I didn't make any. Search for the TV specials.
PS there are talks about bringing SSL back for a classic DCA event
Luscious locks
Uhm, please tell me you were foreshadowing a review of the Steve Guttenberg Tower of Terror...!
Diana Terri Maybe someday.
I swear to GOD I thought that was Jonathan Davis from KoRn on the thumbnail lmao
well it's been ten years does Toy Story Mania still get long-ass lines?
Pretty much!
