Sun Wheel closed?

I can't find the Sun Wheel listed on the actual Disney site. I like to choose my favorites and print out the Disney map ahead of time and I can't find the Sun Wheel listed. Is the Sun Wheel closed as part of the renovation/expansion? Maybe they just don't list if for some reason?
Thanks.

It is closed. It is being re-done to coincide with the retheming of the park . . . when it reopens it will be called Mickey's Fun Wheel. The sun will be gone off ot the side and Mickey's face will be there instead.

King Triton's Carousel is also closed for refurbishment.

Sadly it is now closed and is part of the refurbishment work - all the individual gondolas had been removed when we were there in October.

Alas the Carousel was closed already on Sunday when we were there. They are one of DD's favorite rides too!
We went on the Jellyfish and Zephir over in that part of the park instead. Maybe I'll do a mini trip report...

Well, between this being the 'off season' and CA is undergoing a retrofit with all of the improvements, I guess we can expect more and more attractions to be closed.

I think they're being careful to not have too many things down at one time, which is why this won't be complete until 2012...
