Paris Tower of Terror Photos


The Disney and More Blog has a fantastic photo tour of the Tower of Terror at Disney Studios Paris, which is already having pass holder previews.

The ride is a clone of the California version, and honestly from these pics you can't easily tell that it's not photos of that ride. Still, it's worth checking out; the photos are really high quality and very well done.

Disney Studios Paris Extreme Makeover


© 2007 Scrooge

Talk about an amazing transformation. User Scrooge over at Disney Magic Interactive has posted a large set of photos of the new area at Disney Studios Paris.

This is the result of the placemaking project around the park entrance/Tower of Terror area. Speaking for Tower, I believe it starts previews this month.

The area looks fantastic, and this only gives me more hope as to how California Adventure will turn out!

See all the photos.

Maximum RPM at Hard Rock Park


You can see that the unique ferris wheel lift for Maximum RPM at Hard Rock Park is being assembled.

It also looks like pretty much all the track and supports for the ride after the lift are complete as well.

And of course you can oogle Led Zeppelin's beautiful white track in the background.


Geauga Lake Memories


I know there's been a lot of Geauga Lake posts lately, but it's not very often that a 120 year old park is closed, so I'll continue to give it attention for a while.

Anyway, user montezooma over on Theme Park Review's forums has been posting some awesome historical stuff lately, and they focused on Geauga Lake in one of there more recent posts.

There's everything from brochures, maps, press photos and releases, postcards and more scanned in.

It's totally worth a few minutes of time to check it out.
