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.
In this April pin Scoop (pin-on-pin element) reports from the Mission: SPACE Control Room at EPCOT. Rachael Sur from Disney Design Group created the artwork for this pin.
From the front of the card: THE SCOOP! Computing Machines Send Rocketship to Mars!
From the back of the card: YOU'RE ON BOARD TO MARS! ZOUNDS! Disney Imagineers were inspired by the space-age technology NASA used to train Astronauts to create the ultimate in space travel simulation that sends visitors to EPCOT on the ride of a lifetime! One Mission: SPACE ride system has the same computing power as a modern day Space Shuttle. And there are FOUR RIDE SYSTEMS! 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.
