I don't know, I rather like DCA. I wouldn't say it's my favorite theme park, especially since I seem incapable of choosing a single "favorite" anything, but I do like it. It's a good half-day park.

I don't mind the open concrete; I like the openness, and what else are they going to use? Needs to be hardscape to handle the crowds. I like Soarin' and Screamin' (though I deplore the names, dropping the "g" like they do); Grizzly River Rapids is a fun water ride; and a Bug's land is awesome. The rides there are for little kids, but I love the theming and the atmosphere.

I love Paradise Pier at night and I wish they would keep it open after dark. I love the Tower of Terror. I love the theme of 30's Hollywood and I really hope they do the improvements properly.

I think the main way they went wrong is trying to essentially cover the entire state of California, instead of focusing. They seem to be getting a little bit of focus with the new work, and I have a lot of hope that they will keep what is good and fix what could be made better.
