Orange Stinger at California Adventure to Get New Disney Theme

Looks like the "face lift" for California Adventure is proceeding along. This article reports on the Orange Stinger in the Paradise Pier section of DCA that will be getting a Disney theme.

The Blue Sky Disney fan site reported the Orange Stinger will be redubbed…… “The Silly Symphonies Swings,” with a theme based on “The Band Concert” 1935 cartoon short featuring the first colorized Mickey Mouse.

The made-over 1 1/2-minute ride would feature a twirling tornado mast with smoke-spewing special effects, an orchestral score and a “Conductor Mickey” on top, according to Blue Sky.

All I can say is, anything would be better than what they have now. Having said that, I wish California Screamin' gets preserved in some way with a new theme, but keeping the ride. I actually enjoyed that one, and having the big loop going over a Mickey Head icon was a brilliant idea. But that's the only Disney connection the attraction had. So any further improvement would be a plus.
