Incredicoaster at RCDB
California Screamin' closed in January 2018 for a major refurbishment, reopening as the Incredicoaster on June 23, 2018. The opening coincided with the debut of the newly-revamped Pixar Pier section of the park, where the roller coaster is situated.[3] Its name is inspired by The Incredibles film franchise.
History
In October 1998, following months of construction on the new California Adventure theme park next to Disneyland,[4] Disney announced additional details about the park's rides and attractions set to open in 2001.[5] Among them would be a state-of-the-art launched roller coaster named California Screamin', which uses linear induction motor (LIM) launch technology to propel its riders to a maximum speed of 55 mph (89 km/h).[5] Although made of steel, the ride would be designed to resemble a classic wooden coaster, and it would include a vertical loop in the signature shape of Mickey Mouse's head.[5][6]
California Screamin' debuted with the park's grand opening on February 8, 2001. Designed by Werner Stengel and built by Intamin, it features a track length of 6,072 feet (1,851 m), making it the sixth-longest steel coaster in the world and third-longest in the US behind Fury 325 at Carowinds and Millennium Force at Cedar Point. Materials used to build the attraction included 11,500,000 pounds (5,200,000 kg) of concrete for the footers, 36 miles (58 km) of electric cables, 167 miles (269 km) of conductors, and 5,800,000 pounds (2,600,000 kg) of steel.[6] It also became the longest roller coaster in the world to feature an inversion after the vertical loop on Son of Beast at Kings Island was removed in 2006.[citation needed]
In addition to the LIM launch that propels the train up the first hill, an additional LIM Boost is used on the main lift midway through the ride.[7][8] These motors are used in lieu of a traditional lift hill chain. The coaster is one of Disney Parks' fastest attractions,[9] accelerating guests from zero to 55 mph (89 km/h) in four seconds.[7] Since the resort was located next to a residential area, Disney had installed tunnels throughout the ride to block the screams from riders and reduce noise complaints from nearby residents of Anaheim and neighboring Garden Grove.[10]
Like several other coasters in Disney Parks, California Screamin' featured an onboard audio soundtrack during the ride, created by Gary Hoey and George Wilkins.[11] On January 3, 2007, as part of the "Rockin' Both Parks" campaign, the audio track was temporarily replaced by a remixed version of "Around the World" by Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the attraction was renamed Rockin' California Screamin'. This was promoted along with Rockin' Space Mountain, a similar change made to Space Mountain in Disneyland, though that ride's audio was changed to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' cover version of "Higher Ground". The standard audio track was restored when the campaign ended.[12][13]
After the refurbishment of Disney California Adventure, from 2008 to 2009 the Mickey Mouse head located behind the vertical loop was changed to a sunburst icon with the Paradise Pier logo.
On July 15, 2017, Disney announced a complete renovation of Paradise Pier, renaming it Pixar Pier.[14] Meanwhile, rumors began to circulate that California Screamin' would be rethemed to Pixar Animation Studios' The Incredibles.[15] On November 2, it was confirmed that the ride would be remodeled. California Screamin' closed on January 8, 2018 for the transformation into Incredicoaster.[3] The remodel would include a new queue line, engineering reboots of the existing launch system, new storyline, enclosed scream tunnels and a new soundtrack.[16] The new trains were unveiled in April.[17] Incredicoaster opened on June 23, 2018, to coincide with the release of Incredibles 2.
