So far, it could go both ways....
"it's a small world" is currently down for refurb, revamping the flume to accomodate boats that have been grounding a little as the weight of our country increases. It is currently scheduled to start playing the song again in Nov. Maybe the refurb will go into early '09 if they go ahead with the afor mentioned changes. So, we don't know for sure when to expect that happy (although sometimes annoying) song, singing out in Disneyland Park.
The new, almost completed ride in DCA's Paradise Pier is getting some attention too. Recently the name sign for this Toy Story themed ride has been put up. The sign reads:
Toy Story Midway Mania
But wait...haven't we been expecting the name "Toy Story Mania" for a long while? And hasn't Disney (even recently too) been putting out press releases on the ride with that same name? But now, the sign says "Toy Story Midway Mania" which was the rides name in it's early conception and construction.
I have heard that on the map and advertising they are going to use the name "Toy Story Mania" but keep the sign how it is. I am personally VERY excited for this ride to open up so I can see just a little bit of what we should be expecting within the next years for Disney's California Adventure.
Has there ever been a Disney ride with two names?
Toy Story (Midway) Mania is almost complete with soft opening expected in late April. The Official Opening Ceremonies/Press events are scheduled for June 13-15.
EDIT: THE OFFICIAL OPENING DATE OF TSMM IS JUNE 17! Are you going to be one of the people migrating to Disneyland @ 5:00 in the morning? I hope I am...
