Crab in Little Mermaid

[beth4]

When we were walking through the queue for the new Little Mermaid ride, I think I remember there being a little blue crab that kept disappearing and moving with us as we walked. Am I thinking of the right ride? Does anyone know that little crab's name? I thought I remember seeing it somewhere and commenting on how we should name our next hermit crab after it. But now I can't remember the name? Anybody know what I am talking about?

There are a bunch of the crabs that are interactive in that queue. I don't recall them having a name though. Pretty sure Scuttle just said to help the crabs sort through Ariel's goodies.

Yes that's the correct ride. I don't know it's name however.

There is an army of little crabs who populate the queue at Little Mermaid.

They're part of the interactive "game" installed to help pass the time when the line is long and moving slowly.

The individual members of the army don't have names, though.

Hmmm...well maybe there was another crab in a diff queue that had a cute name. I remember reading it's name and commenting to my hubby that we needed to name our next hermit crab after it. I should have written it down!!!

How is the 'game' supposed to work?

How is the 'game' supposed to work?

The crabs bring up objects, and you are supposed to let them know if it is treasure (something they should keep) or something they should throw out, by gesturing to them as they show it to you.

They can "see" your reaction, and will either carry the item off to be stored as treasure, or will trash it. They also chase/prod each other and make faces/wave randomly, which is not part of the "game" but just funny.

I see. I have gone through the queue several times, have seen the crabs, just never knew what was suppose to happen. Thanks.

How dare you disobey Scuttle's orders.

If you watch Scuttle long enough, he does refer to some of the blue crabs by name.

How dare you disobey Scuttle's orders.

And how do you 'tell' the crabs whether to keep or discard? Smile/frown, thumbs up/down?

No! I know who Sebastian is! But thanks

Because my brain is still twelve years old, this is easily the funniest thread on the Internet.

If they bring up something that is trash, you point or wave at it and they'll get rid of it. If it's treasure, do nothing and they'll leave it there and go get something else to ask you about.

Neat. Thanks much.

Was it Scooter? I went on it yesterday and that's the only name I heard Scuttle call them.

This made me LOL for real.

Just watched it on YouTube and PP was right, Scuttle calls him Scooter.
