Welcome To Screamscape!

Park News - (8/19/08) Screamscape has been informed that this past Sunday was the last day of operation for the Ariel’s Grotto Meet & Greet area to the left of Buzz Lightyear. This space will be rethemed for use by the new Tinker Bell and Fairies Meet & Greet area that should be ready sometime in October. The large statues of Ariel and King Triton have also been removed from the pond and will most likely be set up in California Adventure near the new Little Mermaid ride project in the future.

  (8/2/08) For the Holiday season we’ve heard that the park may add the “light up” snow effect to cover the front and back of the castle this year as well as expand it into the trees and garland in the hub and main street areas as well as the Town Square Christmas Tree. I’ve also been told that a new Toy Factory float will be added to the Christmas Parade to replace the old float.
  (7/22/08) According to Screamscape sources the Disneyland Parade of Dreams will go on hiatus sometime this fall to allow for the Main Street USA area to be resurfaced. The plan right now is to make up for this by holding Fantasmic offered nightly, with one performance on Mondays – Thursdays along with two shows on Friday – Sundays.

  (5/22/08) Disneyland has come clean today with all the details about their Indiana Jones: Summer of Hidden Mysteries promotion. Starting today, “Guests will be invited to become archaeologists, to interact with Indy himself and to journey deep into exotic jungles to unscramble clues, all the while learning what life is like for one of the greatest adventure heroes of all time.” The highlights of the experience will include:
  Random Acts of Indy - In the crowded streets of exotic Adventureland, guests never know when Indiana Jones might make an appearance. It could be in their midst, perhaps it will be high overhead, or even right next to them as Indy dashes by. But look fast, because Indy’s never in one place for long, especially when he’s being pursued by sinister villains!
Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Stone Tiger – In this intimate storytelling adventure presented multiple times each day at The Oasis, young Disneyland Park guests will uncover clues, decipher codes and embark on an archeological journey that culminates in an appearance by Indy himself!
Indiana Jones Adventure Map – Disneyland Park guests will explore just like Indy does when they pick up a collectible Adventure Map filled with mysterious clues. Artifacts and symbols are hidden throughout Adventureland and once they are revealed guests will find a special code, which they can take home to claim exclusive Indiana Jones digital content courtesy of Lucasfilm Ltd.
Indiana Jones Meets the Jungle Cruise – One of the all-time classic Disneyland attractions takes on a distinctly Indiana Jones flavor this summer as guests are invited to find unexpected Indy-themed surprises along some of the most mysterious rivers of the world.
New Indy Photo Location – Guests can boast to their friends back home that they outran a giant rolling boulder just like Indy himself - and then they can prove it with photographic evidence.
  (5/15/08) According to a posting at Original D, the popular new “Build You Own Mouse Ears” opportunity that has quickly proven popular in Florida’s Magic Kingdom may soon be on the way to Disneyland, possibly setting up shop in Toontown’s Gag Factory. In other news, remember how I mentioned to everyone about the real world Wall-E that was on the way? Now the first real-world Wall-E has make an appearance roaming the streets of LA that was caught on video. I’m not sure how they did it, but how can something so cute be so awesome at the same time? Wall-E just looks incredible in this video clip, like he just downloaded himself right out of the Pixar mainframe and into the real world. Simply amazing… and I’m sure this is just a test run. I can’t wait to see what he does when let loose in the parks.
