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 December pin (last of the series), a smiling Scoop reports from the side of the trail for the Kilimanjaro Safaris ride at Animal Kingdom. He's sitting on a stack of boulders (pin-on-pin element) and taking notes, as he watches a safari vehicle coming toward him, with a giraffe looking on.
From the front of the card: THE SCOOP Kilimanjaro Safaris Expedition's BIG Attraction!
From the back of the card: In fact, it's the BIGGEST! While out for a joy ride with my pals in one of the Kilimanjaro Safaris Expedition's lorries, I couldn't help notice that this attraction has some acreage. There are actually more than 100 acres altogether, making it the largest single attraction of any Disney Theme Park in the world! 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.
