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. Chris Chapman from Disney Design Group created the artwork for this pin.
In this August pin (eighth of the series), Scoop reports from the entrance queue at the Star Tours ride in Hollywood Studios. Scoop (pin-on-pin element) has stopped taking notes while he listens to the C-3PO droid that's talking.
From the front of the card: THE SCOOP -- WHO IS EGROEG SACUL?
From the back of the card: MR. SACUL'S IDENTITY EXPOSED. Scoop, on the scene at the entrance to Star Tours, heard "Paging Mr. Sacul. Mr. Egroeg Sacul. Please meet your party at gate number two." Hmm . . . Imagineering's tribute to the creator of the Star Wars motion pictures. Mr. Egroeg Sacul is George Lucas spelled backwards! 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.
