DisneySea (California)
Former proposed theme park / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disney Sea was an aquatic-themed amusement park proposed by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. Disney Sea, California was unveiled on July 31, 1990[1][2][3] as one part of the Disney Decade Expansion.[4] This part of the expansion would be focused on the development of Disney Port, as part of the canceled resort complex, Port Disney, in Long Beach, California.[1]

The theme park was met with backlash from multiple parties, including locals of the area, and was limited by prohibitions listed in the California Coastal Act.[5] Port Disney was also speculated to be a $2.8 billion project.[6] Because of such barriers, in December 1991, plans for DisneySea ceased.[7]
Instead, the WestCOT plan was pursued at the site of the former Disneyland parking lot, which is now known as Disney California Adventure. Some of the concepts proposed for DisneySea were used for Tokyo DisneySea (2001).
