Fun Wheel Now Open

[Exprcoofto]

Heard from a friend that Mickey's Fun Wheel opened up yesterday... the day I left for a 6 hr plane ride home!

I was hoping for a preview - but I guess a giant ferris wheel doesn't need much of a preview. :ROFLOL:

Some of the new lighting effects at night time are extremely cool. We saw them testing it from the Howard Johnsons outside of Disneyland. It has a really awesome color wheel effect, sun burst effect, and many other patterns/designs. I can't even imagine how it will look when it is fully moving. My guess is that the color wheel effect will play some role in the color water show.

I'll have to get some pictures in a bit. :wave:
