Background music loop for the Sunshine Plaza Entrance area of Disney's California Adventure Park, CA.

NOTE: When the California Adventure Park opened in February 2001, the entrance was designed to look like a giant postcard depicting the essence of California - huge metal letters spelling out the state's name at the forefront, a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge (used as a monorail bridge) flanked by palm trees and murals depicting mountains and farm valleys, and peeking over the base of the bridge, the top half of a large sun sculpture (which was located in Sunshine Plaza, perched atop a waterfall simulating waves). The effect was rather effective, and this loop was the music played from just in front of the turnstiles through the main "street" lined with shops and into Sunshine Plaza itself.

After many years of poor attendance and negative visitor reviews, the decision was made to redesign and enlarge the park. While many attractions remained essentially the same, they were given re-themed to better fit the new concept. The entry into the park was also re-themed. The "postcard" concept was removed in 2011 and replaced with the current 1920's Los Angeles theme still in place today. The turnstile design resembles the entrance to the old Pan-Pacific Auditorium in Los Angeles, the Golden Gate Bridge was redesigned to imitate the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge, the main road leading to Sunshine Plaza was transformed into Buena Vista Street, and in Sunshine Plaza the sun statue was removed and replaced with an almost-to-scale replica of the Carthay Circle Theater in Hollywood. Sunshine Plaza was also renamed Carthay Circle.
