So the Orange Stinger attraction at Disney's California Adventure is going to be re-done in a classic style as a part of the park's billion-dollar makeover. The orange peel will be removed and the attraction will be re-themed themed to the Silly Symphony "The Band Concert," complete with a conductor Mickey on top.
This will certainly add knew interest to the attraction, which has a basic rotating swings concept. You basically go around and around and around. Then you stop.
As long as we're updating that attraction, here are a few more ideas for the area. It could be come a classic Mickey area.
The Golden Zephyr can add wings to each of the ride cars. Then it can become a homage to "Plane Crazy," the first Mickey Mouse short to be drawn by Ub Iwerks. It shouldn't be much to add wings. Plus, all it does is go around and around and around too. You could pump in the classic music from the original cartoon.
Even the Jumpin' Jellyfish ride next to it could be re-themed with parachutes, as if there was sky diving going on from the planes. Maybe Minnie is jumping out of the plane. That didn't happen in the cartoon. But there also wasn't a giant spinning swing set in "The Band Concert," so deal!
Finally, there's Mulholland Madness nearby, which is a crazy Mouse ride that is supposed to simulate driving around LA that for some reason has a Fast Pass line, while other more deserving attractions do not. How about we give this Mouse ride a mouse?
The cars could be re-done to look like versions of the boat in the first Mickey cartoon release, "Steamboat Willie." Then you could add elements throughout the ride, which it is severally lacking in right now. Plus, the original soundtrack can be played throughout the ride, giving homage to the first cartoon ever released with synchronized sound.
There's been talk of a Goofy's Flite School attraction being put in the area, like a mini-coaster themed around a barn. I think these ideas would fit in just fine with the theme of the new area.
