Re: Paradise pei= new coney!

I agree. Some people here don't like the seaside theme at all because walt didn't like them and they were dirty and scary...but small town america and the old west weren't perfect either. The pier theme can be further idealized to give it that disney touch it sorely lacked.

Ahh Coney Island I had such a pleasure to visit thee and now your even better you have modernized but still kept your old flair... Sorry bout that ) I said this on another recent post but I have to say again: Re theme Jumpin' Jellyfish to look like the old Parachute Drop in Coney Island (when it still was a ride).

See ya walkin' right down the middle of o'l Main Street USA

Re: Paradise pei= new coney!

I love Coney Island (and in fact Mickey's Fun Wheel is modeled directly after the 1920 Coney Island Wonder Wheel). I love to be in Paradise Pier at night and pretend I'm at Coney Island back in the day. A less crowded Coney Island, but still.

That said, since it's Disney California Adventure, I think they could make it into any of the many seaside parks in California,which were also lovely in their heyday. I doubt any of them came close to rivaling Coney Island as a whole...but then, there's not enough room in Paradise Pier for 1/4 of the attractions from Coney Island back in the day, either.

I certainly would not object to a retheme of Jumpin' Jellyfish.
