Visit the SUPER PANORAMA PAGE and SUPER PANORAMA PAGE 2 for larger views of the Paradise Pier section of the new park.

Photos in this new section were taken 1/4 by Karl Buiter using a Sony TRV-900.  Some older shots were taken 12/3 by Al Lutz using a Mavica with special assistance from David Lane on another Mavica and Bruce Bergman with a regular film camera. All shots are of California Adventure and were taken from the monorail.

 Once you get past all that framework in the picture on the previous page, you can look into the park again.  Here we look back at the cloud wall on the Hyperion Theatre and buildings near the Muppet 4D building.  

The brown building at the bottom center of the photo is Rizzo's Prop & Pawn Shop (a Muppets emporium), located directly across from the exit of the Muppets 4D show.

Further to the right, we can see the rounded glass of the Animation Building located along Hollywood Street.

Below another angle on the Muppet theater (my guess is that this is the exit, dumping crowds into the Muppets shop). Across the street from the Muppets sits the ABC Soap Opera cafe and shop. (The Soap building is modeled after the old Merv Griffin Studios in Hollywood - which used to be ABC's home before he moved in.)

Here's another Disneyland Publicity shot of the above street, but this time taken from the other side of what you see above. The "Philip Couch Casting" and "Gone with the Chin(?)" signs are just facades, the "Award Wieners" hotdog stand is next to the "Gone Hollywood" shop. My guess here is that this is just at the entry to the Hollywood area (across from the Soap building) - at the left in this shot would be the entry plaza, at the right the Muppet Theater.
