At the end of a speech at a Disneyland event, Walt Disney once said, "I just want to leave you with this thought, that it's just been sort of a dress rehearsal and we're just getting started."

Lots of Transforming at California Parks in 2012 Disney California Adventure, the second park at Disneyland Resort that has always been something of an underachieving kid brother to its older, more popular sibling across the plaza, will finally be ready to shake its small-fry persona when it wraps up its five-year transformation next year.

Universal Studios Hollywood may have recently stolen its own 2012 thunder when it announced the transformative Harry Potter attractions that it will be bringing to its California park, but it's got a humdinger of a new attraction on the way next year with the highly anticipated Transformers ride.

Just try to stay sane as you read what's new at California theme parks for 2012.
