Getting back to your original question now (i.e. "Does this announcement hold water?"), Courtney: Yes. There really is a "Little Mermaid" attraction in the Magic Kingdom's development pipeline right now. It'll probably be 2012 -- perhaps as late as 2015 -- before that show building finally makes it up out of the ground. But look for a ride-through version of Ariel's undersea adventures to become "Part of Your (Disney) World" vacation experience in the not-so-distant future.

I HOPE it comes to WDW (namely Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland). And I also hope it comes to ALL Disney resorts worldwide, too
Where would the ride go in the other resorts, you ask? Well...

disneyland really needs more exclusives. it's not fair how much disney world gets.dizfan wrote:My wish would be for this to be another Disneyland exclusive. But it would be an no brainer to transplant this to the other resorts. I am glad that they will wait a while before cloning it.

How amazing is this? I thought I might have a slight heart attack when I found out that they were making this. And the fact that the success of the DVD and the interest it generated is why this ride is being made makes it even more special.
I can only hope that it will come to DisneyLand Resort Paris at some point. And I really hope they get Jodi Benson to voice Ariel in the ride, like Katheryn Beaumont did for the Alice ride.

They can even place it in Adventureland if Fantasyland is too occupied with rides.Big Disney Fan wrote:I HOPE it comes to WDW (namely Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland). And I also hope it comes to ALL Disney resorts worldwide, too

The Little Mermaid Ride is Happening!
Jim Hill posted a new picture and some new info. Apparently the ride is proposed to replace another ride at Disney's California Adventure, "Golden Dreams", a theater attraction with a film about the history of California.
The ride vehicles still haven't changed much from the shells we saw on the DVD!

-Aladdin- not based on the movies or the series. a brand new story, may
be some insight on how the cave of wonders came to be, treasures that it
holds, or how the lamp got there.
- Nightmare Before Christmas-
this i could see put of from october to january, and i wouldn't mind it
being the same stoy from the movie, it could be a scary ride (like Haunted Mansion)
but filled with holiday spirit, or may be it can travel around the other holidays different times of the year, you know? all those other doors,
and we could have a lot more insight on jack's character when he visits other holidays.
-The Black Cauldron
this could be either the movie or the movie told through the horned king's view.
that's all i can think of for now

The Little Mermaid Ride- Other Darkride Suggestions?
Did you know that sometimes they do "Haunted Mansion Holdiday" where they decorate the Haunted Mansion with Nightmare Before Christmas characters? New animatronics, mostly members of Halloweentown, are added and the story narration is changed to accommodate!rs_milo_whatever wrote:- Nightmare Before Christmas-

Well, did you know Tokyo Disney had a ride called "Cinderella Castle Magical Mystery Tour", where you went in the basement of the castle to go through many locations having to do with Disney villains, ending with the lair of the Horned King, poring over the Black Cauldron and raising some of the Cauldron Born! Yes, there are animatronics of all this! But one member of the tour group is selected to weild Taran's magic sword and defeat the king! You just stand there holding the sword and let "the magic" happen, but still!rs_milo_whatever wrote:- -The Black Cauldron
