I'm disappointed. It looks identical to the one in DL. Why are they doing so many copy cat attractions?

I'm disappointed. It looks identical to the one in DL.

Wasn't it common knowledge that it was going to be identical?

great post. my daughter is scared with dark rides and when its loud and the villian parts. She wouldn't go back on Winnie the pooh after the lightening and thunder part. are there any scary parts with Ursula or any parts in the dark?

I'll vote with Nikki, but the queue is incredible and I noticed a few different changes lighting wise, but nothing to be going crazy over. They could have added a better scene at the end instead of that quick transition to the finale.

There is a part with Ursula...she looked pretty darn real too. They did a good job with Ursula. Check You Tube for Ariel ride through videos.

PS. Great pictures Kathy! That que is amazing!

Color me *jealous* !

We have "the big" vacation planned for December, but darned if it's not tempting as all heck just to drive up from Sarasota for a "one-dayer" before the crowds grow insane, as I'm sure they will.

Still, I'm a bit surprised by how "old school" The Little Mermaid rides looks, at least on YouTube.

It looks like something that could have been built in the 1950's.

What did you think about that, Kathy ? Did it seem like there were a lot of new technologies involved that I'm missing, or did it seem more like an "underwater Peter Pan's Flight", if you know what I mean.

I was hoping for some new technology but there isn't any. I was really hoping that Disney was going to set a new high in the industry.

I still love the ride though. Maybe the Mine train coaster will blow me away.

The outside looks way more interesting than the DCA one. However, that ride is never more than a 5 minute wait even in the afternoons in July. We walked on to it many times for a nice place to cool down. How are the lines there? Also wondering if they included Mr. Limpet on that ride like they did in DCA. Has anyone seen him there?

Great pictures, thank you for posting. It'll be at least a year until I get to see any of the FLE. So pictures will have to do lol.
