[@ThemeParkCrazy]

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." Overall though, it was a dumb decision to open a park themed to its home state when most guests are already residents.

Since I live by Disneyland I wouldn't mind to hear people scream on the rides. I could just close all my windows.

[@Speedfreak515]

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.

The Orange stinger looked beautiful on the outside, but it was honestly a failure in design. The peel blocked the views from the inside. Also, the orange smell attracted wasps that buzzed around inside. It was cool to look at though, and I'm glad you have fond memories of it :).

For a brief time when both drop rides were in the California Adventure park, I and my family would nickname them, "The Two Towers", as a sarcastic nod to the second Lord of the Rings film/book.

[@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.

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.

[@oopsibrokethecow]

I liked the concept of California Adventure, and thought they did a good job. The idea of the Boardwalk fit perfectly as a carnival-like attraction more so than a theme park, because that is essentially what the Boardwalk is, a giant carnival! It is similar to Coney Island that way. That is the charm and attraction, being more like an archaic fair.

You don't seem to have S&S's tower timeline correct. The Space Shot started the company in 1994. Certain models such as the Big Shot in Las Vegas is the FIRST GENERATION. The SECOND GENERATION was made in 1997 and allowed S&S to come up with the Turbo Drop. In 1999, they introduced two more: The Double Shot, a smaller-sized Space Shot with two shots instead of just one, then the Combo Tower, which combined both the Space Shot and Turbo Drop experience in one attraction. By 2014, they had come out with a 20-seat combo tower, with the option of having the seat panel rotate at the top in the middle of the sequence. In 2020, they came out with the Spin Shot, a revolutionary new attraction that combines the Free Spin coaster on the towers and can be retrofit on any existing tower.

[@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.

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).

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.
