Front Description
The 12-pin MAIN STREET GAZETTE: HERE'S THE SCOOP! pin-of-the-month series was released at WDW around the first of each month throughout 2008. The series features Mickey disguised as Scoop Sanderson, Magic Kingdom's Main Street Gazette reporter, experiencing classic Walt Disney World attractions. Each shaped pin contains a pin-on-pin element. The backs of the backer cards, printed to look like newsprint paper, share fun facts or trivia about each ride, as reported by Scoop. Rachael Sur from Disney Design Group created the artwork for this pin.
This February pin (second of the series) features Scoop reporting from the Expedition Everest ride in Animal Kingdom. His ride car is speeding down the mountain, with the terrified passenger holding his hat on and being frightened by the Yeti. The car is a pin-on-pin element.
From the front of the card: THE SCOOP! YETIT'S POWER RIVALS JUMBO JET
From the back of the card: NOT YOUR EVERYDAY YETI! Scoop on the scene, aboard Expedition Everest, encounters the gargantuan Yeti -- not! In truth, the mythological creature is really an engineering marvel. This mammoth animatronic figure is Disney's largest ever, with potential thrust from all of its hydraulics combined at over 259,000 lbs. force. That's more instantaneous power than a 747 jet! And . . . that's the scoop!
Rides in the series include Haunted Mansion, Expedition Everest, Tower of Terror, Mission: SPACE, Pirates of the Caribbean, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Star Tours, It's a Small World, Test Track, Soarin, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Kilimanjaro Safaris.
