And Mickey's Fun Wheel and the Games of the Boardwalk are featured on the California Adventure map. (Note the Mickey face on the Fun Wheel, and the sunburst and Paradise Pier logo on California Screamin')

génial les stands de jeux. j'aimerais bien ceci dans disney village dans le futur world of disney ou à l'arcade de jeux qui se trouve à coté de l'entrée I-max, en face du parking VINCI.

D'après loaloa sur le topic des futurs investissements de DLRP, le ride de Cars possèdera une technologie mixée entre celle de Test Track MAIS aussi avec celle de l'EMV d'IJA.

The painters have returned after a couple of days off.







This photo is from around 1:30 PM



But by 3 PM, additional panels were added. The crew is removing the blue protective plastic, reveling the white surface.

FUN WHEEL & SUNBURST
The sunburst icon on California Screamin' appears to be done getting painted, and Mickey's face on the Fun Wheel is progressing nicely.




Lights are being installed on Mickey's Fun Wheel

Lights are being installed on both sides of the Fun Wheel



Note, the lights look old fashioned, but actually are multi colored LED's covered with a "classic" cover

J'adore le design des cartoons "retro" sur la Fun Wheel! Bon, on disneyifie le tout un peu trop à mon goût, mais au moins c'est plus beau qu'avant! Juste un peu déçu pour les oreilles de Mickey en moins sur le coaster... le soleil, bof quoi.

Bah, ça n'est pas la Mickey's Magical Party là-bas, on ne va pas gaver les Nord-Américains de Mickey à tous les recoins des parcs et des hôtels.

En quoi doit être rethématiser Paradise Pier, déjà ? En fête foraine rétro ? De fête foraine à fête foraine rétro... On avance bien.

C'est clair que le nouveau soleil pour le looping, c'est bof bof... La tête de Mickey sur la grande roue est pas mal. Maintenant, je me demande si on ne va pas frôler l'overdose lorsque la souris apparaîtra aussi sur toutes les nacelles...

Comme quoi la Fête Magique de Mickey est outre-atlantique...

En ce qui concerne Carsland, où est censé être situé l'entrée ? Au milieu de Paradise Pier ?

Pour les nacelles, il n'y aura pas que Mickey de représenter mais aussi Donald, Dingo et compagnie dans leur forme rétro également.

Moi j'adore ce Paradise Pier rétro avec les touches Disney là où il faut. Les jeux d'arcade sont vraiment réussis et il y a de la théma à foison (les fenêtres comme sur Main Street avec le nom du proprio des jeux etc...).

J'adore Games of the Boardwalk ! Leur côté rétro est du plus bel effet et en plus le choix de films d'animation des années '30-'40 (Dingo et Wilbur, Dumbo, La Boîte à Musique) - excepté Bullseye Stallion Stampede inspiré de Toy Story 2 - est très pertinent.

Une perspective d'ensemble de la roue

et bien je la trouve plus belle maintenant cette grande roue.

2010 - Disney’s World of Color - (4/17/09) Today we received a micro-burst transmission from one of our deep undercover spies which contained some juicy new information about Disney’s Wonderful World of Color show. All along we’ve heard the goal for this show was to make it the “Fantasmic Killer”… the much needed “Killer App” for DCA to lure in and keep the crowds after dark. Up front they knew that to do this, the show was going to need cutting edge technology, something that would “Wow” people today the same way that Fantasmic did in the ‘90s. They also knew, from past experience with Pyro on the lake, that the show simply couldn’t rely on adding more pyro to make it flashy due to all the smoke problems. Lets go over briefly some of the technology I’m old we’ll see put to use in the show.

First up is a little something they called the Water Whip, which is a moving water fountain unit that is able to rotate and tilt up to 55º in any direction. I’m going to guess that this is the water equivalent of a theatrical “moving light” fixture. From what I understand the show will use somewhere near 2,200 water fountains total in the lake, with each hooked up to a “LED light ring” to create extremely bright vivid colors in the water. If that wasn’t cool enough, I understand that they have also created a little something called a Flame Whip, which will work in much the same fashion as the Water Whips, but with a flame thrower unit. I’ve also been led to believe that these flame units may also be able to create different color flames through the injection of specific chemicals into the mix.

Now anyone who has seen the construction pictures lately has got to be wondering just what that huge stage-like structure is they are building in the middle of the lake. From my basic understanding, the various show elements will be mounted to this surface, which will be divided up into over 170 different “table” units, each able to rise to the surface and lower again as needed on an individual basis.

Now while we’ve covered all the “next gen” technology to be used for the water and fire effects, lets talk a bit about the video side of things. Like Fantasmic this show will feature projections onto several large water screens, but that’s where the similarities end. The largest water screen in this show will shoot water an amazing 100 feet into the air, and fan out to form a surface approximately 280 feet wide. For a quick mental visual comparison, remember that Mickey’s Fun Wheel is approximately 150 feet tall and wide. If that wasn’t big enough, I’m told that this massive central screen will link up with two smaller water screens on either side, to increase the overall size of the screen space to 400 feet wide.

To ensure the bright crisp images, I’m told that they will use a pair of video projectors for each section of the screen, with a total of 6 of the double stacked rigs put to use at once to be housed inside some kind of lighthouse themed structure. In addition to these, though the use of some of the moving water fountains, they will be able to create a moving “screen” of water that will be projected upon by some separate projectors that will move in sync with the screen. I’ve also heard something about how they will use a 50 foot tall Chernabog figure, where the entire head area will be created with a mist screen. Overall, this show seems set to do just what they planned and become DCA’s much needed Killer App.

Je trouve que cela s'annonce très bien. Mais bon c'est screamscape donc ...

Elle doit en théorie se faire à gauche du Paradise pier, c'est-à-dire entre le wharf (port de pêche), et le Bug's Land. D'après ce qui est visible au Blue Sky Cellar sur les cartes, l'entrée se situera à l'endroit même où est la Bountiful Farm actuellement.

Les échaffaudages sont partis !

MICKEY'S FUN WHEEL
Scaffolding around Mickey's Fun Wheel has been taken down as the project gets closer to its May 8th open date.


The colorful character-adorned gondolas await guests...











Work is now focused on the queue, which seems to have gotten the short end of the stick on this remodel. The same cheap and un-themed yellow canvas covers from the Sun Wheel have been stretched back up above the queue.


What's unfortunate is that this project has resulted in essentially zero progress from its impossibly uninspired predecessor. While the Games of the Boardwalk got shiny new, Victorian-themed facades and new character-themed sets inside, the Fun Wheel just got the characters and some new paint. What kind of remodel is that?

Indéniablement, malgré des couleurs un peu trop criardes, cette nouvelle grande roue a de l'allure, mais, comme dit sur Mice Age, je regrette qu'ils n'aient pas refait la file d'attente (je trouve toujours dingue que sur un projet de 800 millions de dollars, ils ne savent même pas faire une file un peu potable, au lieu de béton avec quelques draps de protection contre le soleil). Et, concernant les nacelles, je regrette vraiment qu'ils n'en aient pas profité pour retirer ces horribles grillages qui font qu'on a l'impression d'être dans une cage à poules !

j' adore les cabines avec les personnages rétro!!

J'adore ce Placemaking, la grande roue est magnifique, le parc va enfin être plus Disneyen.
Par contre les ampoules marchent (celles de la grande roues) et si oui peut-on avoir une image s'il vous plaît .
Merci

DISNEY'S WORLD OF COLOR & VIEWING AREA


























MICKEY'S FUN WHEEL
The new marquee for Mickey's Fun Wheel was installed last week.


It's simple and about the same size as the old Sun Wheel sign. The sign uses the same support posts as the old Sun Wheel sign, just with a new coat of dark green paint. All-in-all, the sign is pretty underwhelming, but it works. The entrance for the attraction has been moved over a bit, more centrally aligned with the Wheel itself, as opposed to being off to the right.


The repositioning of the entrance will make the queue a bit more understandable for guests, which was previously a bit confusing due to after-the-fact changes to queue due to increased popularity of swinging gondolas, which wasn't accounted for in the original queue design.







ORANGE STINGER
Foundation work around the Orange Stinger for the Silly Symphony Swings' upcoming covered wooden queue seems to be winding down after being filled in with dirt.


The swings close July 27 for a nearly a year as they get rethemed with new Victorian theming and Mickey's Band Concert decorations.

FUN WHEEL AT NIGHT

The new LED lighting on Mickey's Fun Wheel debuted with the opening of the attraction. With the park closing early on weekdays last week, park guests got the first in-park views of the new lighting patterns this weekend.











And a new spotlight has been installed on top of the Toy Story Midway Mania! building to light up the California Screamin' sunburst:

wahou ca rend vachement bien !

Je pourrais regarder ça pendant des heures...

C'est très beau, mais je trouve que c'est trop moderne par rapport à la nouvelle théma qu'ils veulent donner au Pier. Et ils abusent un peu des effets de LED. Quand on regarde la vidéo, c'est presque Las Vegas...

Je suis assez d'accord avec ta remarque, cela colle peut-être un peu mal avec la nouvelle théma à l'ancienne...

Cela dit, je trouve ça sublime et très hypnothique!
