After a devastating fire burned down the entire left side of Main Street at Adventureland in Des Moines, Iowa, in February 2010, the park is already planning to have new buildings rise where the ashes were. DisneyFans.com has posted some pictures showing off how plans, and construction it seems, is starting.
The fire left a huge impact on the look of Main Street.
Plans are already underway for the new buildings.
We wish the best of luck to Adventureland, and we give them much praise for using money that could be used for new major attractions to make sure the park feels the same for everyone that has entered in the past, and in the future.

According to a new article from a local news paper, Busch Gardens will be adding a huge 260 foot drop tower next year in the Germany section of the park. The new thrill ride is said to “easily eclispe the 205-foot peak of Griffon”. While this is no official source, it sounds like a pretty good possibility.
Unfortunately the article does not list an exact model. In fact, some of the examples given are contradicting of each other: Tower of Terror, Drop Zone, Dr. Doom’s Fear Fall, and Monte Zuma are all completely different drop towers, each from a different company. So it is difficult to say what kind of ride it will be however. Although, a balloon was lifted recently to see how high the ride will be meaning it does look like we will be seeing some sort of dark ride in the near future.
I do seem to remember reading an article about a new themed drop tower however, I believe it was much smaller and indoor. I wonder if that rumor developed into this new ride. Looks like we will just have to wait and see.

After making his return to Disneyland in California, Michael Jackson will once again return to his former homes in Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris as Captain EO. The 3D musical adventure ran in each of the park’s for years before being replaced by Honey, I Shrunk the Audience (or MicroAdventure! in Tokyo Disneyland). With Michael Jackson’s popularity at an all time high, the two international resorts will be taking advantage by bringing back these two classic attractions.
In Tokyo Disneyland the date has been set for a July 1st opening and then a June 30, 2011 closing date. MicroAdventure will close May 10th. At Disneyland Paris, Honey, I Shrunk the Audience closes on May 3rd, and Captain EO reopens in June.
