I won't miss the old Paradise Pier and HPB, because Paradise Pier was just plain cheesy, and HPB is like a jumbled mess of randomness. The back of Schmoozies is a huge steel structure, and they excuse it for a "set" but it really just looks horrible. Grizzly Peak really does it for me, though. I particularly like Grizzly Peak.

There's plenty of refurb stuff to do on the Sun Wheel without even thinking about the Mickey face. I can't remember the Sun Wheel ever going down for refurb for more than a couple weeks in its lifetime. A long refurb like this is probably long overdue for that thing.

I'm not sure what the original plan was in full detail but I do know the original plan was for stuff to start happening towards the end of this year, and it's true. Finally, the beginning of the rehab of DCA.

I heard that DCA is chainging the Aladdin Musical Spectacular for another show. Does anybody know more?

Neo · 07-04-2008, 03:05 PM

I heard it was just going on Hiatus... but maybe its going away for good not sure... I wouldn't mind another show coming in... Aladdin can only be seen so many times.

The rumor is it will be replaced with a Toy Story Musical.

Well, i think they're also making some additions like LED lighting, and the Face... (maybe making the gondolas more scarier??... just me and my thinking)

Eh, inverted stand-up floorless wooden rapids ride, that's probably what'll happen...

Oh wow, I didn't realize the sun wheel was being converted so soon! Anyone know when they plan to put the Paradise Pier logo on CA Screamin'?

WDITrent · 07-05-2008, 01:53 PM

About the Sun Wheel being transformeed into Mickey's Fun Wheel- wouldn't they have to close down a portion of Paradise Pier? I would imagine they would have to use a crane to place the Mickey Face on the wheel...?
