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.

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)

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...?
