So has anyone heard more on this? Word is they will finally start cutting into that back parking lot at DCA for this ride [and hopefully more] in the near future but I haven't heard any more details at all. At least they will start losing blacktop and gaining rides and attractions at DCA!

I've only just heard about the Incredibles ride recently. It's slated to open next year?

Nah - 2007 but in theory they start work soon. Just another rumor on the start date? Dunno but if anyone has more info on any part of the ride we all want to know!

I just heard it described as a "mechanical arm ride"... which, quite frankly, I don't understand.

As excited I am about an Incredibles ride, it just occured to me. What the heck do Monsters Inc. and Incredibles have to do with California?

Didn't you hear? DCA's retheming will be accompanied by a renaming... "Disney's Pixar Animation Studios-Inspired Adventure Park", or DPASIAP for short.

Nice, spaulo!
I wonder what the attraction will be about. I said this before a year ago in a Peoplemover thread, but I think they should make the Peoplemover an Incredibles attraction based on those monorail pods that were in the movie. They don't need to go fast, include an interactive screen that talks about attractions/sections of the park. Include 5+ facts about each attraction that would play depending on what a user selected. Two things you gain from this:
1) Use of the Peoplemover track again. Which has a great impact on the "look" of Tomorrowland.
2) With the intereactive facts, you have a high repeat value.

Yeah PeopleMover's
Too bad they not to usefull in real life. People are a bit too fat now, they could use the walking.
Did you know some people died on the people mover:?: Sure you did.
"August 1967: Ricky Lee Yama, a 17-year-old Hawthorne, CA, resident, was killed when he disregarded safety instructions and exited his People Mover car as the ride was passing through a tunnel. Yama slipped as he was jumping from car to car and was crushed to death beneath the wheels of oncoming cars."
and
"7 June 1980: Gerardo Gonzales, a recent San Diego high school graduate, was killed on the People Mover in an accident much like the one that had befallen Ricky Lee Yama thirteen years earlier. Gonzales, in the early morning hours of a Grad Nite celebration, was climbing from car to car as the People Mover entered the SuperSpeed Tunnel adjacent to the former America Sings building. Gonzales stumbled and fell onto the track, where an oncoming train of cars crushed him beneath its wheels and dragged his body a few hundred feet before being stopped by a ride operator."

Hooray for a possible Incredibles ride! As far as what it has to do with California...good question. Maybe it'll be in the Hollywood Backlot area where anything to do with movies can go? I was rather amused by spaulo's thought though!
As for the Peoplemover - it is time for it's grand return!

I haven't heard at thing about Incredibles yet.. but that may be me. I've heard about a new attraction for DCA in 2007-2009, but I've only heard it described as "Theme Unknown"

Great idea, Sub!!
I love the film, yet my favorite moment is the part with the two guards standing by the Peoplemover track, wondering, what the... Clang!

WHOA!!! Nice idea Subsonic!!! I actually thought the same idea but not with the whole idea of interactive screens giving facts. That would be a great idea for the PeopleMover. I don't think that area in the parking lot of DCA should be used up quite yet. They should use the area for a ride not for a movie based ride but for something creative and new for the park

I had assumed they would have already had attractions for it, but I thought DCA, being california, would have an attraction about surfing and/or skiing... wave pool, man-made snow area, something...
They already have paragliding. 8)
If the Incredibles ride was just something that spins around, that would be a major disappointment for me & my family.
Sub, I keep thinking about your idea, and its really great. I thought Syndrome's lair really had that 007-evil-lair-of-the-future thing going strong. You could have heat coming off the lava wall, etc.
Anyone know an imagineer?
