A: Discovery Bay, announced in 1976 for Disneyland, is a project I would like to have seen. The project, planned for Frontierland where Big Thunder Ranch is now located was described: “Having as its roots a ‘San Francisco of the 1850s-1880s,’ the theme area would bring to life a time and place that climaxed an age of discovery and expansion. [It] would reflect the influx of opportunists, dreamers, and adventurers that poured into this cultural melting pot after the discovery of gold.” No Disney project is forgotten completely; great ideas never really go away. A DisneySea nautical themed park, planned in the early 1990s for Long Beach, California, finally came to fruition as Tokyo DisneySea in 2001.
