I was gazing at the now old consept are for DCA at the exit of TWDSFGMWML, and saw that the loop of Screamin' was suppose to have the ears attached to the loop, not on a gold thing behind it. Also, "Soarin' Over California", was suppose to just be "California Soarin'".

Any other things that were in the consept art for DCA that were changed/Never came to be?

Is the concept art back? Last I had checked the concept art was all gone and the old mural had returned to the wall at the exit. (For those that could not decode the acronym this was located in the exit to Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.) I think that the DtD concept art showed a Disney Quest. Also Paradise Pier as a whole had major changes to the layout. Let me know if everything is back or if you were looking at pictures you had taken.

Paradise Pier was suppost to be breathtakingly beautiful with large amounts of lights at night. But now since the park closes right when it gets dark we get none of that. And if we do its for a half hour max. = (

They did mention a working TV studio on in Hollywood and we didn't get that untill Who wants to be a Millionaire, and now that's in question. Also at the entrance was suppose to be a spire of some sort. I belive this is what evolved into the big golden sun we have now. Some of the things that didn't happen actually changed rather than got axed. I have concept art that went out to us Anaheim residence right from the start to get us excited. I will pull it out and check it again now that you mention it.

Also, they used some of the consept art on Disneyland.com:

Check out the "Soarin' Califonia" art here! (http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneylandresort/CaliforniaAdventure/Lands/index?id=DCACondorFlats)

How about that Screamin' loop? Check it out here. Look on the little logo to the left. (http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneylandresort/CaliforniaAdventure/Lands/index?id=1305)

Look at the different sun icon (for the plaza)here. (Again the little logo on the left) (http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneylandresort/CaliforniaAdventure/Lands/index?id=1280)

I remember when DCA was underway, and the tram station was at the other side of the disneyland entrance - they had a huge walkthrough, followed by a rather high platform you could go up to see the progress.

For some reason I remember a layour of a ride that had this huge curve like a giant freeway for cars to ride on, a ride that is.. I though I even saw part of it being built. ??
