Spoiler Alert - Pictures from the New Little Mermaid Ride

[mytripsandraces]

The ride is brilliantly themed. The ground is imbedded with shells to simulate the ocean floor.

There is a band with silhouette images, too.

The speakers are hidden in shells.

The plants even look like seaweed.

I found a Hidden Mickey in the chandeliers.

My nieces were given glow-in-the-dark shells to carry on the ride.

Even the moving walkway had was themed . . .

. . . and so are the ride controls.

I didn't get a good shot of Ariel getting human legs, but it's done really well.

It's looks so nice. Good job on the pictures

 

[mytripsandraces]

Thank you! I'm going to be posting pictures of the Soundsational Parade next.

Awesome! Thanks!

 

[Golf4food]

Great, thanks!

What about outdoor shots of the ride building? How does it look? Any cools signs around it, etc?

 

[mytripsandraces]

I've only got one shot of the exterior line. I never even noticed the sign. We always approached from the side. I can tell you, though, that they are anticipating long lines. There's more space for lines for this ride than for Toy Story Mania.

Will this be at WDW or DLR?

 

[mytripsandraces]

It's in Disney's California Adventure. I don't know if there are plans to bring it to any of the other parks. It was a lot of work and took a long time to put together.

There is a Little Mermaid attraction coming to WDW's Fantasyland expansion.
I am not sure if it an exact replica or not.

It will be great, if it is!

Thanks for posting the pics!!! I am beyond excited to go on this attraction. It's going to be one of the highlights of my DL trip this summer.

Please though tell me you did not use flash while taking these photographs. I always cringe in dark rides when people do that even despite being told not to.

Thanks for the great pics! We were at DL last month and I wish this had been open as DD loves Ariel.
