I always enjoy reading the weekly updates from micechat. They do a really great job in keeping me up to date with the happenings from over 3,000 miles away.

Interesting to note about Paradise Pier: Walt Disney - One Man's Dream reopened from a refurbishment at WDW and a nice model of Paradise Pier is one of the new models in there and in the place of the supposed park that is going to replace Maliboomer, are three towers that are not Maliboomer (I don't know if they are as tall as Maliboomer was...).

I don't know if they are going to go with the park or not. I thought they were just rumors as far as I know but why add another park when there's the Paradise Park on the other side?

I doubt there is going to be a park put there. The model has the World of Color fountains so those towers must be something they aren't ready to announce yet.

I saw that MadEye... It looks like a parachute drop ride.

But, the model is flawed isn't it? Mickey's fun Wheel is backwards. Should Mickey be staring out over the Lagoon? He's facing away from the Lagoon in the display. Not very important, but thought it was an interesting over-sight.

? From what I've seen, it is the same as it is in the real Paradise Pier. He is facing the lagoon... Unless I am missing something. :?

MadEye - My bad... I watched the video again and it was too dark on my work computer. He's facing both sides... sorry, carry on...
Anyone that wants to see it, it's at the 12:15 mark of this video:

After watching that video, I am glad that they got rid of those double doors in the middle of the attraction!!!

I don't think he's facing both sides. He's only facing the lagoon.

Probably to make the model look better.

Disneyland gets Big Bad Voo Doo Daddy for the Christmas Parade? WDW better get something (anything) better than jonas brothers!! :x

You can see the "rock bear" from Grizzly River Run in that picture from between the parks. Could you see it before they removed the murals on the sides of DCA?
