The Sun Wheel (face) has come down; the smiling sun face will be replaced by Mickey as part of the Extreme Home Makeover: Theme Park Edition renovation, transforming into Mickey's Fun Wheel.
Is it going to be the same concept? The sliding ferris wheel? Two Mickeys right next to eachother? Isnt that overload??
I was very glad to have made it over to California in 2007, partly because it was before the DCA transformation~
Same ride, theming redo. http://www.yesterland.com/sunwheel.html Apparently they're pulling the Mickey off Screamin'.
I'm happy the actual wheel is not coming down. I loved getting that extended aerial view of the parks. [This attachment has been purged. Older attachments are purged from time to time to conserve disk space. Please feel free to repost your image.]
That's a GREAT view! Next time out there I guess I'll have to ride it. On one of the still cars of course... my husband and kids'll probably in one of the moving cars tho
I chose the still car, for the sake of the photos. The cars have a mesh on them, but it was easy to poke my lens through, though on a DSLR it might be a little tougher.
i'm just looking at that photo and the ones i have from the still car from may 2008, and trying to envision it as all nothing but parking lot, and lining up to take the monorail into the park, yes that's right the only park, as i last visited disneyland in 1978. quite a difference
I'm wondering if the lake is still drained. My sister-in-law sent me a picture last month where the entire lake was drained which made it look like a giant skate park
It sure is; they're continuing work on the World of Color, and redoing the areas around the lagoon to use as a viewing area. (I've seen recent pics)
