In October of 2002 they had an Angels Victory Celebration after they won the World Series over the San Francisco Giants.

I can't believe I missed this! Thanks for the pictures of it.

Another one for all the ladies out there...

I just barely stepped foot into DCA last October for the first time, so its good to see some of the things that used to be there.

They are re-theming Paradise Pier. The rides that are staying are CA Screamin', Carousel, Sun Wheel and Maliboomer. Everything from the Orange to Golden Dreams is going the way of the do-do.

In it's place is 'rumored' to be a beer garden (where the pizza place and McD's is) a Ratatouille coaster (where Mullholland Madness is) and a Little Mermaid Dark Ride (Where Golden Dreams is).

They are also retheming the side where the games and Screamin' are to match the Toy Story Mania ride. More of a victorian theme.

Actually I heard Maliboomer will go but Golden Zephyr will stay or they might both stay.

Those shots are all great, largely because they remind us of how beautiful parts of DCA can be. To me, the shots from Paradise Pier looking back towards the Grizzly have always highlighted the fact that there is an inherent theming to be seen in the park. Viva la DCA!

Great shots, Sir Clinks and everybody. We enjoy DCA a lot, and I'm sure there will be some things we will miss, but I can't wait to see the "New" DCA as it takes shape.

And where did you two get those babies. Talk about changes at DCA, how 'bout them changes in the Clinks kids?

Thanks!

Thanks for the great pictures. I know a lot of people "hate" DCA, but even though, you have nice memories there, which makes it special anyway.

Here's a few of mine from throughout the years:





Here's a view you can't get anymore. This was taken from Mulholland Madness before the walls were put up around it:


Here's another pre-wall shot of the ride itself:



I think everyone takes this shot:

The pictures are all great. Just think in 20 years our kids will be going through our photos showing what DCA used to look like.

Here are some of mine that I'd like to share ...

Thanks for clarifying sir clinksalot. Tht makes me sad...I love the Orange Stinger and Mullholland Madness.........The were my fave rides..........soooooo Does anyone know when this is gunna happen???? and ummmm why????

Once their gone you can always go to a county fair or carnival to ride these. I am a DCA lover and don't agree with the level of criticism it gets, but I'm looking forward to the park becoming even better than it is today.

Fingers crossed for the beer garden!

Great pictures. Althought I dont think the Pier needs to be immortalized in photographs...it should be slowly forgotten...along with Superstar Limo..hehe
