Orange Stinger at California Adventure to get new Disney theme

The Orange Stinger swing ride will get a new Disney theme and back story as part of the planned $1.1-billion Disney's California Adventure makeover, Walt Disney Imagineering officials confirmed. Gone will be the 40-foot-tall orange peel that surrounds the 48-seat spinning swing set and the Disney-free buzzing bumble bee theme, Imagineering officials said.

In its place: a Victorian architectural style more akin to the remade Paradise Pier section of the Anaheim theme park represented by the new Toy Story Mania attraction.

Imagineering officials declined to elaborate on the new "Disney theme."

The Blue Sky Disney fan site reported the Orange Stinger will be redubbed…… "The Silly Symphonies Swings," with a theme based on "The Band Concert" 1935 cartoon short featuring the first colorized Mickey Mouse.

The made-over 1 1/2-minute ride would feature a twirling tornado mast with smoke-spewing special effects, an orchestral score and a "Conductor Mickey" on top, according to Blue Sky.
