We’ve just been informed that the Sun Wheel’s re-theme/refurbishment will start on September 11th, 2008. The re-theme will include the new 1930’s style Mickey Mouse face, re-working of the queue, a re-paint, & the new name, Mickey’s Fun Wheel!
Also planned to take place during this time is the re-theming of the Games of the Boardwalk & California Screamin’s queue, but we don’t have any solid information on that just yet.
According to MiceAge‘s Monday in the Parks article for this week, the pathway connecting California Screamin’ & the Sun Wheel in DCA, that has been roped off for a few months now due to Toy Story Mania construction, is scheduled to re-open to guest flow on Friday, March 14th.
As promised, here is the second part of Myrna Litt’s 10/16 photo report:
Earlier than expected, the Paradise Pier lagoon has started to be drained. And as you can tell from the picture, another testing barge for World of Color is in the lagoon.
The Sun Wheel is now closed for its conversion over to Mickey’s Fun Wheel.
