Disney California Adventure, Theme park in Anaheim, United States.
Disney California Adventure is a 72-acre theme park in Anaheim, California, divided into eight themed lands, among them Buena Vista Street, Grizzly Peak, Pixar Pier, Cars Land and Avengers Campus. Its centrepiece is Pixar Pier, where a curving white lattice roller coaster outlined in red lights carries a circular "PIXAR PIER" sign and stands beside a Ferris wheel with a Mickey Mouse face at its hub.
The grounds opened in February 2001 as the second park within Disneyland Resort, bringing new attractions to Southern California. Over the following years, several areas were redesigned to deepen the connection to regional places and stories.
Street names here draw from California's past, and references to films set in the Golden State appear throughout. Some corners bring Mexican folklore to life, while other areas celebrate surfer culture and Hollywood dreams.
Visitors can buy entry passes in advance through the website and check current wait times with a mobile application. Restaurant reservations can be made well ahead, which helps during busier periods.
One roller coaster here extends 6072 feet (1850 meters) and stands as the longest looping coaster in North America. The trains reach a speed of 55 miles per hour (89 kilometers per hour).
