"Fun in the Sun" is the theme here! Around the boardwalk that encircles Paradise Bay are all the elements of a classic seaside amusement park: roller coasters and ferris wheels, a carousel, boardwalk games, and corny names for the stands selling corn dogs and ice cream. The background music features appropriate selections like "California Sun", "Fun Fun Fun", and "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini", though with a carvival sound to them. There's something for everyone - big thrills for the adventurous, and other attractions which will appeal to guests of all ages. The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure - A classic 'dark ride' takes guests under the sea to tell Ariel's story.
Games of the Boardwalk - try your skill and win prizes at classic boardwalk games with a Disney theme, like Dumbo Bucket Brigade and Bullseye Stallion Stampede. Additional charge. Golden Zephyr - Inspired by the rocket ships of movie serials like Buck Rogers, take a ride around and around on one of these gleaming airships.
Jumpin'
Jellyfish - Like a billowing jellyfish, this ride rises into the
air and then gently drifts up and down. King
Triton's Carousel - Ride an otter, dolphin, fish or one of the
other colorful sea creatures that inhabit this fanciful carousel.
Silly Symphony Swings - Inspired by the Silly Symphony
cartoon called "The Band Concert" riders sit in swing chairs as
the whirling tornado spins them around and up and down.
Toy Story Midway Mania! - In this interactive experience,
players ride a fast-moving carnival tram as they play a series of virtual
3-D carnival games hosted by favorite "Toy Story" characters. Fun for
everyone!
Goofy's
Sky School is a relatively slow-loading attraction with low throughput,
and use of Fastpass is highly recommended. The standby line for
California Screamin' moves a lot faster, though Fastpass is also an option. The line
for the "swinging" cars on Mickey's Fun Wheel is usually
a lot longer than that for the stationary cars, but this is also a slow-loading
attraction and there's no Fastpass so the wait can be substantial. Ariel's
Grotto - Dine with Ariel and other Disney Princesses at this table
service restaurant featuring a prix fixe three-course menu.
Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta - Flatbreads, pizza, ravioli, salads Catch-a-Flave
- Ice cream cones - choose a flavor to mix in! Corn
Dog Castle - Corn dogs
and specialty hot dogs.
Paradise Garden Grill - Mediterranean specialties like skewers
and kabobs. California
Scream Cam - Pick up a souvenir photo after your ride on California
Screamin'
Embarcadero - Little Mermaid and World of Color merchandise,
pins and pin accessories. Man Hat'n'Beach
- Swimwear, hats, beach towels and other seaside accessories. Midway
Mercantile - Toy Story character plush, games, toys, and costumes. Point
Mugu Tattoo - Jewelry, watches, temporary tattoos and souvenirs. Sideshow
Shirts - T-shirts, casual beachwear, toys and souvenirs.
Seaside Souvenirs
- Hats, small souvenirs. Treasures
in Paradise - Pins, t-shirts, souvenirs Look around
the base of California Screamin' - the ground is covered with sand
and grass, just like you'd expect at a seaside amusement park. The covered
areas along the track for California Screamin'
were required by the city of Anahiem for noise
abatement purposes.
As part of the multi-year DCA expansion, Paradise Pier has been
re-themed to a Victorian-era amusement park. Several original
attractions
were re-themed: the Sun Wheel became Mickey's Fun Wheel, the
Orange Stinger is now Silly Symphony Swings, and Mulholland
Madness became Goofy's Sky School.
Toy Story Midway Mania
and Ariel's Undersea Adventure are new attractions.
