#okaymaliboomer
At the Disneyland Resort, the Maliboomer was a drop tower complex thay once stood tall on the property. It has since gone defunct and extinct. But now let's take a look at the history of this thrill ride.

I love when people move to a neighborhood and then complain about the neighbor who was there first.

[@pacificroblox]

I talked to a cast member today. He got to experience the opening year of California Adventure. I asked him why MaliBOOMer closed, and he said that it closed due to lack of parts. When S&S worldwide went out of business, they didn’t have any more spare parts to operate the ride.

[@HelloVanna]

So glad I got to ride this! 🥰 And the Orange swings...they really are overpriced fair rides when ya think about it though. Glad that C.A. has improved so much since!

[@Aaaadisiznejddososydbs]

NO THE ORANGE SWINGS ARE PERFECT

[@AlmightyArceus]

This is a cursed ride slot in California Adventure. Once it was removed it was replaced by Inside Out: Emotional Whirlwind which was literally just a reskinned version of the balloon ride from A Bug’s Land which was shut down for Avengers Campus. That ride has also subsequently closed, and there’s now nothing operating there. I do wish they had Maliboomer still. Someone in the comments mentioned that it could be Monster’s Inc Themed since it captures screams. Theme the cars as doors. You could even turn that face shield into some sort of AR experience. Imagine having characters interact with you in that space.

[@bartplays3392]

Yess I’ve been looking forward to this video all weekend!

[@AvidSonicFan]

Maybe, to the guests who thought so, the Scream Shields resembling the shame dog cones were supposed to represent shame to park guests for even CONSIDERING going to California Adventure in the first place??? 😆

[@TheBigA]

Now every park is adding the “scream shields” Cuse of Covid

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

I loved the Maliboomer. I was very upset when they removed it and then didnt even put anything else up in its place! We used to ride it around 5 times a day. The shields never bothered me as they were clear and didn't hinder any view (which was fantastic from the maliboomer, much better view than tower of terror). not cumbersome at all.

Rest in Peace The Maliboomer

[@EliasWatsonCT]

I think it would've been cool if Disney re-themed the Maliboomer to Up during the Pixar re-theme. Think about it! The cars could have been the houses with balloons attached to the top. Just a random idea I just had.

[@harleyhuskey]

I remember getting to go to California adventure right before the Maliboomer closed about. And I was brave enough to ride the Maliboomer but not Tower of Terror for some reason.

[@amandarose4938]

i'm so glad that they mentioned people would refer to the shields as 'puke shields' cuz i definitely thought they were 'vomit shields' when i was a kid... but again, i was a kid.

[@ThePirateprincess23]

I only to ride Maliboomer once back in 2002. Despite the scream shields, the ride was still fun and way more thrilling than Emotional Whirlwind (Flik's Flyers was the better name and theme, and Balloon Race at Knotts Berry Farm is the better version of that ride model in general).

[@coolian3607]

Well i mean if you think about it since they took out Bugs Land which was a land designed for the smaller folk, it would make sense that they needed to add kiddie rides instead of more thrilling rides

[@guttermouseTV]

Rise And Fall Request: Cheetah at Wild Adventures!

[@DannyHG33]

When I went to DCA for the first time before the renovations, I was just confused to why a theme park themed the state I already live in. I found the park boring right after I walked the entire park to were we left early and not stayed the night. After the renovations plus the carsland. The entrance looks looks better and there's was a little more things to do. But now when they changed tower of terror and paradise pier and now the new marvel land and still being called California Adventures, makes no sense anymore 😑 and the Maliboomer was just odd to me with those shields on when there was Supreme Screem just a few miles away without shields.

[@Norg49]

Would you ever consider trip to Poland? There is theme park called Energylandia in village of Zator(31m from Kraków) . Its fast growing place which adding new themed area every year. They do have now 17 coasters and most of them are proper large rides. Check the wiki page of it. Take care and keep up with good work :)

[@mitchellries256]

I can't say I agree completely with the parks reasoning for removing the Maliboomer. The Orange Stinger, Sun Wheel and Mulholland Madness were off the shelf rides but they were able to make them to fit in the newley rethemed Paradise Pier in the early 2010s so they could've easily made this ride fit into that new area theming as well. Never the less, I don't see why they decided to scrap it rather than sell it to another park that could've desperatly used one of these rides like Michigan's Adventure.

[@AngryGumball]

In 2021, they remind me of the plexi "covid shields" you'd find at the store registers...

I can confirm when California Adventure first opened it completely sucked. It was boring, but to be fair, the park had just opened whereas Disneyland had decades to perfect the park. I haven't been to California Adventure in over a decade, but it still had vastly improved since my first experience with it.

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

I agree that parks often improve with age.

[@ExMachina70]

@@ThemeParkCrazy I believe so, and could only imagine since the 10 years passed that C/A has made even more great leaps to improve the park. For all the absurd Wokeness Disney has become, they still are quite amazing when it comes to creativity within their parks. Too bad non of that translates over to the movies they've destroyed.

To be fair, California is basically its own country with all it has to offer. Its a beautiful, giant state. Its much better than if Parques Reunidos opened "Lake Compounce's Connecticut Adventure."

I get the noise complaints as the park expands ot may get noisier, but most people living around there weren't living there before Disneyland was built, so you bought a house near a theme park. What do you expect?

[@Esraem]

thats the same as people who buy near a racetrack or airport.

[@alexdaley7616]

I lived next to Universal in Orlando. I could easily walk to City Walk. So, I can relate. These noise complaint are valid because they related to new structures that are significantly taller than anything that was around in the past. No (new) nearby resident should be complaining about fireworks, as those have been around for decades. But, because the new theme park required significant zoning changes, the complaints are valid.
